Abstract

Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) is a concept of education based on the Taxonomy Bloom theories. HOTS had been integrated in History subject through the Malaysian Education Blueprint (2013-2025). HOTS assists teachers to enhance pupils’ thinking skills in order to think more creative, critical and innovative. Unfortunately, pupils HOTS are not in satisfying level. Studies revealed that the teacher’s readiness in integrating HOTS in their teaching plays significant role that can indicate the success and failure of the HOTS integration in History subject. The purpose of this paper is to discuss on the teachers’ readiness in integrating HOTS in term of knowledge, skills and teaching materials. This paper also dicusses on suggestions in improving the integration of HOTS in various ways.
