Abstract:
The present Pre test - Post test experimental research was conducted to study the effect of Duval's Semiotic approach (DSA) on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) of Boys and Girls of X Class. Out of the sample of 268 math's students, 132 respondents were included in the investigational group and remaining 136 students were categorized as control Group. A pre-test for Higher Order Thinking Skills was given to both the groups, investigator had given a 40 days treatment based on Duval's semiotic Approach to the experimental group, which were then administered a post test of Higher Order Thinking Skills. The results show Duval's Semiotic Approach as an efficient treatment strategy to develop the Higher Order Thinking Skills in the mathematics students and results also show that interaction effect of instructional strategies (DSA/CGL) and Gender yielded significantly different means score on Higher Order Thinking Skills.
