Although many educationists have presented theories on the cognitive domain of human brain, the theory of Dr. Benjamin Bloom (1956) is widely adopted in the field of education. In 2001, two of his students revised the classification of thinking skills. Now well known as Revised Bloom’s Taxanomy, it is presented as follows:

  • 1. Remembering,
  • 2. Understanding,
  • 3. Applying,
  • 4. Analysing,
  • 5. Evaluating,
  • 6. Creating.

The first three skills of the above are termed LOTS (Lower Order Thinking Skills), while Evaluating and Creating are called HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills).

The exclusive guide on HOTS for standard X has been published for English medium as well as Marathi medium.

    IT’S A MARVELLOUS, UNIQUE AND INCREDIBLE BOOK FOR THE PREPARATION OF HOTS. NOW THE HOTS TOO SEEM COOL AFTER STUDYING THIS BOOK.
    THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART TO PREPARE SUCH A BOOK.

    SUGGESTIONS: ALTHOUGH IT IS BEST, IT HAS SOME DEMERITS.
    YOU HAD GIVEN MANY PROBLEMS IN IT BUT THERE ARE VERY LESS 5 MARKS PROBLEMS IN IT. GIVE SOME HINTS FOR HARD PROBLEMS WHICH ARE UNSOLVED.
    IF YOU DECREASE THE PRICE OF THIS BOOK, EVERY STUDENT CAN USE IT AND CAN ACHIEVE BEST MARKS. THEY WILL THANK YOU.
