The Cognitive Thinking Skills for Higher Order Thinking Questions
Hello there, this is Teacher Nicole!
Head of Science at CCE Education
As a parent, we certainly understand your worries that drilling of science questions and past years exam papers may no longer be enough to answer higher order thinking questions.
This is crucial because currently higher order thinking questions make up 30% of the PSLE paper and the weightage is increasing as each year passes by.
$280 per course. For (P5, P6 in 2021) students in 2021

So you may be wondering, what are these
Higher Order Thinking Questions that we are talking about.
Not Your Ordinary Type of Science Problems
Well, these are not just your ordinary type of science problems; in fact these are new type of questions that students will not have the chance to practice before the exams! They are also the more challenging questions which require students to have better analytical thinking and creative problem solving skills to solve.
Teaching Methods were not adapted effectively to help with Higher Order Thinking Questions
However, many educational institutions have not adapted their teaching methods effectively to help students answer these kinds of questions. In fact, many other institutions are still using outdated teaching methods such as providing answer templates, conducting practice exams and assessment books that drills students to memorize the answers.
Challenges of Answering Higher Order Thinking Questions
That is why students who have practiced the old, outdated way will find it challenging with higher order thinking questions , but also have wasted a lot of precious time memorizing and practice more questions that will no longer help.
Secrets of Answering
Higher Order Thinking Questions
If you’re a supportive parent who believe in your child’s potential to do better, then we have good news for you!
This coming holiday, our team from CCE education have developed a 10-hour short course workshop that will train your child in answering all those mind boggling higher order thinking questions!
After this 10 hour course, your child will be equipped with the cognitive thinking skills of a top student and get to experience for themselves how a top student think when they encounter higher order thinking questions.
Our specialized cognitive improvement training will teach students the cognitive thinking skills to fully analyze each and every question, link the complicated diagrams to the right concept taught and creatively craft the right answer according to the question! This is a skill that most students are struggling to learn on their own.
Never mind if your child is only achieving passing grades or aims for AL1.
This coming school holiday, your child will get a chance to have a wonderful experience of learning the cognitive thinking skills to be a TOP student.
TRUST US!
Through this workshop, we will be sharing the results of over 3000 hours of research by the CCE team with you and your child.
Do get ready to hear the excitement of your delighted child after finishing the course as they have found the secret tool in answering all the challenging questions.
We are confident that your child will surely enjoy CCE’s famous activity-based education method that makes learning more meaningful and interesting.
And it will surely lead to a big leap towards better grades in Science.
This will give your child the competitive advantage they needed and help them achieve the highest distinction towards their PSLE exams!
You will never have to hear your child utter the words “I don’t know the answer” after this exciting workshop!
“Some of my daughter’s classmates are enrolled in CCE and since it is near our home, I decided to try the Secrets to Section B class. The teachers made the lessons fun and interesting for my daughter. The amount of work given was manageable, especially since it’s activity-based and not worksheet-based.”
-Racquel Co-
Mum of Alyssa
“I learned about CCE from a co-parent. At first, I was hesitant but upon learning more about it, I decided to give it a try. The course may only be 12 hours but my daughter has learned a lot. I’m very happy.”
-Daniel Tang-
Dad of Elaine
“I like the approach of the CCE method because my son, who usually complains of going to lessons, enjoyed the course because it’s fun and filled with activities. He can even explain to what he has learned.”
-Ria Tan-
Mum of Chris
So parents, this is your chance to experience the CCE Cognitive Improvement learning method that have significantly improved the cognitive thinking skills of thousands of students since 2012.
This is how our 10 hour workshop works
First, CCE will be guiding students through 5 important thinking skills to achieve full and complete mastery over the higher order thinking questions
Second, students will be involved in challenging, fun activities and experiments designed from various schools’ exam papers that require them to use the cognitive thinking skills they have learnt through our workshop.
At first, students may not be familiar using these thinking skills. That is why doing these activities help them to gain understanding and realize how these thinking skills work.
Third, CCE will let students answer questions from various test papers that are related to the cognitive thinking skills arranged in a progressive manner.
Take a look at the 3 examples below where students are required to have cognitive thinking skills to be able to answer these types of questions:
Concept Simulation Question
This is a visualization skill type of question, from this example, students need to simulate on their mind on how the person in the wheelchair will get affected when it starts raining.
So based on the concepts they have learned on this question, they will be able to craft their answers intelligently.
Complex Representation
This is a complex representation type of question, from this example, the droplets actually represent substance like water, they can pass through Part X(Cell Wall), but some of the lightning shaped object (Other Substance) can only pass through Part X but not Part Z.
Students need to link the symbols and explain the diagram carefully.
Deep Conscious Association
This is a deep conscious association type of question. This is the type to which students have difficulty which concept this question is trying to test them.
Like from this example, students will need to link that their constipation is related to the large intestine function, and explain that since feces has stayed in the large intestine for too long, more water is being absorbed there.
What Every Student Will Gain
After The Program:
Benefits of Science Cognitive Thinking Skills Course
Specialized Activities and Experiments
They’ll be able to use their new acquired thinking skills to solve fun and challenging activities specially designed to fully engage their brain and learn how things work.
Diverse Type of Questions
Questions will be presented in a progressive order. It will start off as simple then eventually it little by little it becomes more difficult to help them become stronger and confident.
After Class Follow-ups
Teachers will be providing follow-up questions to help students stay engaged and continue to use their cognitive thinking imagination.
Max of 7 Students
We are only requiring a maximum of 7 students each classroom to fully ensure that we can monitor each student’s progress and provide our undivided attention.
Here are the Secrets you will gain through the course.
