HOTS: A Thinking Skills Program for At-Risk Students.

Pogrow, Stanley

Principal, v67 n4 p19-24 Mar 1988

The Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) program uses microcomputers to help high risk students master basic thinking processes, grasp course content, and apply learned information in various problem-solving situations. Specifically, HOTS aids students with metacognition, inference from context, and generalization skills. It also improves self-confidence, language fluency, and social skills. (MLH)
