Summary
Higher order thinking skills are vital for learning processes for a whole life, contribution for social responsibility and producing proactive employees in the 21st century [1,2]. Higher order thinking skills that can be enhanced from the active learning system are always described as the ability of a learner to synthesize, make judgement from a problem and solve it using a higher level of thinking. These skills are very important for students or learners to acquire them, since in this modern era of globalization, those skills are needed for them to be competent as in the context of working areas, where they need to apply the theories they learned in real life situations. Higher level order of thinking could help the learners to learn better and increase their ability to gauge their own weaknesses [4]
