This chapter offers to illuminate some of the complex relations between conscious, rational, higher order human functions and unconscious and intuitive processes, especially in the context of teaching and learning of higher order thinking. The chapter will consider dialogical models, especially those of Richard Paul and Mikhail Bakhtin, for teaching and learning of higher order thinking, which take into account these complex relations, and aims at optimizing higher order thinking skills and dispositions, without neglecting human's emotional side and their need for authentic self-expression.

Outcomes Based Education

Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) brought about a significant paradigm shift in the education and training of learners in South Africa. OBE requires a shift from focusing on the teacher input (instruction offerings or syllabuses expressed in terms of content), to focusing on learner outcomes. OBE is moving away from ‘transmission’ models to constructivistic, learner-centered models that put emphasis on learning as an active process (Nieburh, 1996:30). Teachers act as facilitators and mediators of learning (Norms and Standards, Government Gazette vol 415, no 20844 of 2000). Facilitators are responsible to create the environment that is conducive for learners to construct their own knowledge, skills and values through interaction (Peters, 2000). The first critical cross-field outcome accepted by the South African Qualification Framework (SAQA) is that learners should be able to identify and solve problems by using critical and creative thinking skills. This paper seeks to explore some higher order thinking skills competencies required by OBE from learners such as critical thinking, reflective thinking, creative thinking, dialogic / dialectic thinking, decision making, problem solving and emotional intelligence and their implications in facilitating teaching and learning from the theoretical perspective. The philosophical underpinning of these higher order thinking skills is described to give direction to the study. It is recommended that a study focusing on the assessment of these intellectual concepts be made. The study may be qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods in nature (Creswell 2005).

The Relationship

The study aimed to identify the relationship between science teachers' use of the flipped classroom strategy and their attitudes towards developing higher-order thinking skills among students of the higher basic stage in the Hebron governorate. In order to achieve the goal of the study, the researcher followed the descriptive and analytical approach, as she/he conducted a questionnaire to measure the extent to which science teachers use the flipped classroom strategy, and she conducted another questionnaire to measure the attitudes of science teachers towards developing higher-order thinking skills among students of the higher basic stage. Then, the two questionnaire sheets are electronically applied to a random sample of science teachers in the Hebron governorate. The number of the sample is (136) teachers in all directorates of the Hebron governorate. The results have shown that science teachers use the flipped classroom strategy frequently. Moreover, science teachers' attitudes towards developing higher-order thinking skills among students were at a high level, as the field of "critical thinking skills" came in the first place, followed by "problem-solving skills", however, "creative thinking skills" ranked last. Besides, the results have shown a strong correlation between science teachers ’use of the flipped classroom strategy and teachers' attitudes towards developing students' higher-order thinking skills. And, there are statistically significant differences in the science teachers' use of the flipped classroom strategy in teaching students of the higher basic stage in the Hebron governorate as well as in the science teachers' attitudes towards developing higher-order thinking skills among students of the higher basic stage in the Hebron governorate according to the gender variable for females, and according to the directorate variable for the directorate North Hebron. given the findings of the study; The researcher recommended that it is necessary to provide means of support to encourage teachers to employ modern technologies in teaching thinking. It is also necessary to conduct more studies dealing with the relationship between teachers' attitudes towards developing higher thinking skills and employing other teaching strategies and to conduct evaluation studies to examine the effectiveness of flipped learning strategies in teaching thinking.

Contemporary educational approaches which enculturate higher order thinking skills (HOTSs) through teaching and learning have become the latest trend in teaching. Knowledge clarity, understanding mastery, and teaching readiness are the catalysts for successfully implementing HOTS elements in teaching. However, even though HOTS learning is inextricably linked to metacognitive skills, teachers frequently underutilize metacognitive skills as an effective method of teaching HOTSs. Therefore, teachers face difficulties regarding their skills in integrating HOTSs into their teaching. Numerous studies on HOTS teaching and learning modules to guide teachers in applying these have been conducted; however, only a few researchers have conducted systematic literature reviews on the same subject. This article aims to produce a systematic literature review on the elements of a metacognition-based HOTSs teaching and learning module. The systematic literature review (SLR) writing process was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis) framework. Using 2 databases, namely, Web of Sciences (WoS) and Scopus, 15 articles were extracted out of 252, from 2017 to 2021, with exclusion and inclusion criteria taken into consideration. Based on the study’s thematic analysis, 3 main themes were identified: (1) HOTS, (2) metacognitive, and (3) inquiry. This study suggests that these three elements should be included in the contribution element of metacognition-based HOTSs teaching modules in school. This study contributes knowledge and guidelines to the construction of metacognition-based HOTSs teaching modules in schools, teachers’ preparedness to plan, monitor, and evaluate students’ higher order thinking skills, and opportunities for students to learn through HOTSs learning elements, as suggested in metacognition-based HOTS teaching modules.

Higher order thinking skills is an important aspect in teaching and learning. Students with higher order thinking skills are able to learn, improve their performance and reduce their weaknesses. In recent years the most serious issue in Orang Asli schools is the achievement of Aboriginal students in their academic subjects as compared to the mainstream students. The purpose of this research was to identify the level of Higher Order Thinking Skills among Orang Asli students in Romp?n D?str?ct, Pahang, Malaysia. The research sample consists of (150) Orang Asli students of grades 4-6 were randomly selected. A valid and reliable scale was used as a data collection tool.The findings indicated that Orang Asli students have below average level of HOTS on all four areas. Results show that students have average HOTS level on analysis, below average level on applying, while more than half of average level on evaluating, and the lowest level was on creating. Besides that, the findings also showed that there is statistically significant difference in gender on the level of Higher Order Thinking Skills in general and in the analysis skills; female students have higher level more than males do.
