Summary
The progress of a country is dependent on the mastery of skills and learning by its citizens. With an ineffective education system, a country will be left behind. The education system is a medium responsible for the transmission of knowledge and skills to individuals. Higher order thinking skills (HOTS) are the abilities to apply knowledge, skills and values. According to the National Education Philosophy in line with the Malaysian Education Blueprint (MEB), thinking skills are part of the six aspirations that must be acquired by every student in order for the country to be competitive at a global stage (MEB 2013-2025). Should be practised in the classroom, and are the keys to a student’s success (Nessel & Graham, 2007)
