Abstract

In the schooling system, teachers are the forefront in every educational system elsewhere. Thus, teachers’ competencies and how their instructional practice become significance in determining students’ achievements. The purpose of the study is to explore how primary teachers tried to implement the practice of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) within the context of 21st-century learning based on the four elements that have been outlined in Taxonomy Bloom through structured interview sessions. A total of seven teachers were selected as respondents from primary schools. The findings of the study indicate that primary teachers are aware and realize the role of HOTS in bringing up our future generation in line with instilling 21st century into learning. This study can be develop to evaluate the implementation of HOTS in an appropriate teaching practice for different school cultures, different levels of education and even a school that is completed with all the facilities for the teaching and learning process.
