Issues related to HOT (High-Order Thinking)
What is HOT?
Higher order thinking is thinking on a level that is higher than memorizing facts or telling something back to someone exactly the way it was told to us
Higher-order thinking skills go beyond basic observation of facts and memorization
Higher-order thinking skills are reflected by the top three levels in Bloom’s Taxonomy: analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
Why HOTs?
Thinking skills are fundamental in educational process
Students with HOTS are able to learn, improve their performance and reduce
their weaknesses (Yee, Othman, Yunos, Tee, Hasan, and Mohammad, 2011).
HOTS are valued because they are believed to prepare students better for the challenges both in advanced academic life and adult’s work and responsibility in daily basis.
How?
HOTS are student’s abilities that are activated when students encounter
unfamiliar problems, uncertainties, questions, or dilemmas.
In the classroom, abilities and skills that include the use of HOTS are complex thinking that goes beyond basic recall of fact, such as evaluation and invention will enable the students to retain information and to apply problem-solving solution to real-world problems.

The Issues
Teachers also lacked practice in creative thinking skills, graphic management, asking high-level open questions and teaching for HOTS on the whole (Sukiman et al., 2013).
Teachers lacked knowledge in thinking skills and were unskilled in applying thinking skills (Zamri and Jamaludin, 2000; Zulkarami, 2011).
Teachers had some misconceptions about certain key components of HOTS, what is more to master these key components. Most of the teachers merely listed the skills of HOTS
The students are not ready for the HOTs question. They are not used to it as the students are more likely to answer questions based on their memorization.
