  Formative assessment may be useful pedagogical practice to strengthen the teaching of HOTS in physics. The purpose of the study is to examine the impact of a formative assessment intervention on students’ achievements in HOTS physics tests (pre- and - post) when their teachers were supported to implement the instructional intervention and for secondary school teachers’ if their practices in teaching HOTS have changed after intervention; finally, teachers’ experiences with the intervention. This study employed mixed methods (sequential) approach with single group, protest, intervention (training), and post-test instruments. Data was gathered from 14 secondary schools involving 14 teachers and 280 Senior four secondary school students in Kabale Distict, Uganda.
