Abstract
Higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) has become a focus on Teaching and Learning in Malaysia in recent years and this has raised concern among Technical Graphic Communication (TGC) teachers. The development of an innovation known as Technical Drawing Simulation (TDS) application responds to the challenge. TDS was developed using Visual Basic Application (VBA) as the programming language and ADDIE as the design model. The research aims to study the effectiveness of the TDS application into applying HOTS during learning process using TDS. An experimental approached included pre-test and post-test were conducted to compare students’ scores on using HOTS questions while applying TDS and as in standard practice. Students’ motivation and perception were measured using the questionnaire after the pre-test and post-test. The research has been conducted in a rural school in Sabah and samples were among moderate achieving students. The results indicated that TDS helped improve students’ performance in answering HOTS questions and increase students’ motivation in learning the subject. Hence, TDS offers a potential tool to help students in applying HOTS in learning technical drawing. In a nutshell, the findings implied that using TDS in Teaching and Learning helps infuse HOTS effectively, time saving and practical.
