  1. DEVELOPING OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES (OER) FOR MALAYSIAN CLASSROOMS: THE HOTS EXPERIENCE YOON SOOK JHEE **RAJENDRAN NAGAPPAN, ROSMA BINTI OSMAN, SEVA BALA SUNDARAM *UNIVERSITI MALAYSIA SABAH **SULTAN IDRIS EDUCATION UNIVERSITY A REGIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON OER: AN ASIAN PERSPECTIVE AND POLICIES AND PRACTICES WAWASAN OPEN UNIVERSITY SEPTEMBER 2012

  2. Overview • The needs of OER materials to teach HOTS • Creating the materials • Creating the website • Response from teachers and students • Sustainability

  3. Emphasis on HOTS

  4. The need for HOTS materials • Teachers are reluctant to integrate various thinking strategies and skills in their classrooms (Rajendran, 1998). • Lack of materials to teach HOTS (RahilMahyuddinet al., 2004) • Materials available are not based on the Malaysian curriculum and context. • Materials need to be modified extensively • Critical subjects: Bahasa Malaysia, History, Geography, English

  5. Creating the resources • Subjects chosen: Bahasa Malaysia, English and History • Resources: Lesson plans, worksheets, teaching materials • Verification of the resources (6 teachers and 90 students from a suburban secondary school in Perak, Malaysia) • Feedback from teachers and students : lesson preparation, lesson implementation, teaching and learning activities, HOTS integration • Modifications on the resources

  6. Creating the website • Host: Sultan Idris Education University • Url: http://oerthinking.upsi.edu.my/ • Content management system: Joomla! Version 1.7 • Research team members attended OER workshops (f2f and online) and Joomla! workshops. • Challenges: • access from 8am to 5pm only • access within campus vicinity only

  7. Response from teachers and students • Positive attitudes from the teachers and students • Teachers have limited knowledge to revise the resources-follow the resources strictly • HOTS elements: aligned with the syllabus, more elements can be included

  8. Sustainability • Teachers from the schools are invited to use, revise and submit the resources. • Resources will be reviewed before made available for public viewing • OER is promoted in SIEU through sharing and contribution of resources from trainee teachers.

  9. Conclusion • Beneficial to schools with limited access to quality teaching and learning materials related to HOTS. • Second phase: develop resources on other core subjects taught in Malaysian classrooms.
