It discusses that learning taxonomies having six levels, remembering, understanding, implementing, analysing, assessing, and creating. The levels of taxonomies are classified by two kinds of groups. The first three groups is low order thinking skills LOTS, and the second three groups is higher order thinking skills HOTS. Higher order thinking skills HOTS have characteristics transferring knowledge, critical thinking, and problem solving. This research applied a case study method.
