HOTS Physics for Class XII & X CBSE
What is a HOTS Question?
HOTS stands for "Higher Order Thinking Skills"
CBSE Says
It is necessary for a student to understand the concept rather than cramming a lot of unconnected facts. CBSE has made the right step forward by introducing the HOTS category of questions to make the "thinking" students stand distinctly ahead of the rest.
It doesn't mean than all of you cannot workout HOTS questions. But, what is required is better knowledge and understanding of the basics.
Many think that Physics is a very difficult subject. But it is not so. When you look at the multitude of applications of Physics around you, you may think so. But all these are based on just a handfull of fundamental principles. If you master these very fundamental laws of Physics, learning Physics and applying it will be interesting as well as rewarding for you.
All the best.
In this section we would like to add some exemplary questions which can be put under the HOTS category.
Atoms and Nuclei
Communication
Dual Nature
em waves
Semiconductor Devices
Communication2
Electrostatics
Current Electricity
Magnetic Effects and Magnetism
ElectroMagnetic Induction
EM Waves
Optics
Dual Nature
Semiconductor Devices
HOTS stands for "Higher Order Thinking Skills"
CBSE Says
"The concept of HOTS is a fundamental shift in Evaluation Reform that aims at promoting thinking skills in learners and taking them away from rote learning. Higher level mental abilities of the learners such as to analyze, interpret, reason out, synthesize or evaluate the given information are likely to enable them transfer learning to totally different situations. Inclusion of questions based on testing higher order thinking skills in the question paper has certainly affected teaching-learning processes. The typology of such questions include open-ended questions, data-based questions, graph-based questions, activity-based questions and reasoning-based questions." ............. http://cbse.nic.in/phycareer/hots.html
