“…A good learning is that which is able to cover a series of meaningful activities so that they can be understood, mastered, and applied well (Tiantong & Siksen, 2013). Students should be accustomed to deal with difficult situations in term of complex cognitive conflicts; thus, they can solve problems (Freahat & Smadi, 2014) based on experiences they have had through project activities or case studies provided and laboratory activities practiced (Ganapathy, Singh, Kaur, & Kit, 2017). In addition, good learning also accommodates students cooperatively and collaboratively (İlhan, 2014).…”

This research was aimed at profiling student's thinking skills in dealing with Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions based on Marzano taxonomy by referring to 13 indicators. This pre-experimental research employed pretest-posttest design. The indicators included were comparison, classification, deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, error analysis, construction, analysis perspective, abstraction, decision making, investigation, problem solving, inquiry experiment, and innovation finding. The instrument used was a 13-essay questions (r-Pearson= 0.79 and Cronbach alpha = 0.68). The research results conducted to 98 students of Natural Science Education which was analyzed using paired t-test showed the significant different between pre-test and posttest (sig. <0.01). As many as four HOTS indicators (i.e. deductive reasoning, error analysis, construction, and abstraction) were categorized as low level. Meanwhile, the eighth HOTS indicators were categorized as moderate level, namely: comparison, inductive reasoning, analysis perspective, decision making, investigation, solving problem, inquiry experiment, and innovative finding. In addition, the classification indicator was considered to fulfill the high level in the end of the course. Higher order thinking skills profile is crucial to be observed, along with students' cognitive development, from the beginning of course, which then can be used as a basic information in designing learning approach which is HOTS-oriented for the next course.

“…In other words, teachers need to be very much aware about giving higher order thinking tasks for students as higher level thinking tasks are totally in contrast with lower order tasks that comprise memorizing and translating. Ganapathy, Singh, Kaur & Waikit (2017) claim that though it takes more time to implement higher order thinking skills in the lesson plan, it has positive learning outcomes. The implication of this is that teachers have to work hard for bringing higher order thinking and learning output in the class.…”

This article is a depiction of my concern in the implementation of higher order thinking activities in the EFL classroom. The article has explored the idea of higher order thinking along with its impact on students. Most importantly, it has given the scenario of how competent the teachers have to be in order to plan the lessons with higher order thinking activities. The article has picked up the real classroom scenarios where students came up with better output with higher order thinking activities. The content, the process and the product were all made the major concern in the article. Overall, the article develops an awareness on the exercise of higher order thinking activities in the EFL classroom.

“…There were about 300 participants from 14 schools in Petaling Utama, Selangor that took part. A research by Ganapathy, Singh,Kaur and Kit (2017) identified that there are several important insights on the potential opportunities of technologies in facilitating higher order thinking but success lies on the tasks that are appropriately designed for promoting the content. This goes at par with the announcement of the Prime Minister Najib Razak on introducing computational thinking and computer science in the curricula for both Malaysian primary and secondary schools starting from 2017 under a #mydigitalmaker movement and 9200 teachers will be trained for this purpose (TodayOnLine, August 11, 2016).…”

This is a review paper aim to analysis Michael Fullan's article of Theory of Change (2006). In his article, he had discussed based on three sections which are flawed change theories, theories of action with merit and what the prospects are for future of these theories of change in knowledge. In each section, topics have been broken further into smaller components and analyzed. This paper provides comparison and contrast base in the context of the researcher's own background. The Theory of Change base in Malaysian context is looked upon as a challenge and even though there are many that are agreeable to Fullan's article, there are also drawbacks. The paper is presented with ideas, theories and other research in this field, thus providing a review of relevant literature to support the researcher's arguments.
