Abstract

The Study Aimed To Investigate The Degree of Availability of Higher-Order Thinking Skills In Mathematics Tests In The Secondary Stage. The Study Sample Consisted of 130 Models of Mathematics Tests For Grades In The Secondary Stage (First, Second And Third), In Which Female Students Were Tested At The End Of The Second Semester Of The Academic Year 1444 AH. It Was Selected Randomly From The Study Population. The Study Used The Descriptive Analytical Method Using The Content Analysis Method, And An Analysis Card Was Used According To The Upper Levels Of The Modified Bloom’s Classification (Analysis - Evaluation - Creativity), And It Included 13 Indicators. The Study Showed That The Degree of Availability of Higher-Order Thinking Skills In Mathematics Exam Questions At The Secondary Stage Was Very Weak, Reaching 13.5%. Likewise, The Degree Of Availability of Questions That Measure Higher-Order Thinking Skills At Each of The Three Levels Was Very Weak, As The Percentage of Questions That Measured The Level of Analysis Was 9.93%, The Percentage of Questions Measuring The Level of Evaluation Was 2.8%, And The Percentage of Questions Measuring The Level of Creativity Was 0.75%. The Study Recommended Building Tests according To the Modified Bloom’s Taxonomy in a Balanced Way, So That They Measure a Number of Questions That Include Higher Thinking Skills, Which Helps in Improving Students’ Performance In Mathematical Problem-Solving Skills.
