Abstract

The ability to use Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) plays a substantial role in determining students’ success in future studies. Therefore, it is important that students’ ability in this skill is continually refined by training and assessment. This paper explores the responses of first-year university students’ to a range of pictorial-style questions in chemical kinetics that require the use of HOTS. 80 food science and 57 chemistry students (137 in total) at The University of Reading (UoR) participated in the study. The results showed that many students demonstrated limited ability to answer HOTS questions. The implications for the teaching of chemical kinetics, particularly at the university level, are discussed.

用图画式问题探究学生的高阶思维能力

运用高阶思维技能（HOTS）的能力在决定学生未来学习的成功方面发挥着重要作用。因此，通过培训和评估不断提高学生的这项技能是很重要的。本文探讨了大学一年级学生对化学动力学中一系列需要使用HOTS的绘画风格问题的反应。雷丁大学的80名食品科学和57名化学专业学生（共137名）参与了这项研究。结果显示，许多学生在回答HOTS问题时表现出有限的能力。讨论了对化学动力学教学，特别是大学化学动力学教学的启示。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
