Implication

Analysis reveals a prevalence of lower-order thinking skills in trigonometry and mensuration, suggesting curriculum changes are necessary for higher-order thinking.

Key Points

Results show that lower-order thinking skills dominate, comprising about 72.4% in trigonometry and 75.8% in mensuration exercises.
The assessment used Revised Bloom's Taxonomy to categorize questions into lower-order and higher-order thinking skills.
Only 27.6% and 24.2% of the questions involved higher-order thinking skills, indicating a major gap in critical thinking tasks.
The study advocates for curriculum revisions to improve the representation of higher-order thinking skills in mathematics education.
