A survey involving 280 students selected through stratified sampling was conducted to evaluate their mastery of HOTS, focusing on their ability to analyze, evaluate, and apply scientific concepts. Results indicated a moderate level of proficiency, highlighting gaps in independent application and creative problem-solving. These findings underscore the importance of tailored instructional strategies and the development of targeted teaching modules to improve HOTS. Future studies should investigate the long-term impact of such interventions and the role of teacher training in fostering these skills. date: 2025-01 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://eprints.iab.edu.my/v2/1634/1/ijessr_08_1014.pdf identifier: Mat, Hamidah and Mustakim, Siti Salina and Razali, Fazilah (2025) Proficiency of Higher-Order Thinking Skills in Malaysian Primary Science Curriculum : Insights From Year 5.
