Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
This study investigated "how teachers' pedagogic competences can influence the development of higher order thinking skills among primary school pupils in Cameroon". The inadequacy of basic competences acquired by learners in primary schools upon graduation motivated the researcher to carry out this study. Related literature based on teachers' pedagogic competences and the development of higher order thinking skills was reviewed. The theory of instruction by Jerome Bruner, the social development theory by Lev Vygotsky and the theory of cognitive development by Jean Piaget were used to give meaning to the problem of study. The qualitative approach was applied to carry out the study. Structured observation and Interview research methods were used. Data was collected using observation and interview guides respectively. The population of the study was made up of teachers of Central Government English Primary School Yaoundé. From this population, five teachers from class one 1 to five 5 were selected for the study through non probability sampling technique. The data collected was analysed thematically following the objectives of the study. The findings of the study revealed that teachers' pedagogic competences influence the development of higher order thinking skills among primary school pupils. The study offer new evidence that skills in teaching practices such as lesson planning, language, lesson presentation and assessments can play an important role in the development of higher order thinking skills in pupils.
