Based on preliminary studies performed over the past five years, information on the problems and needs of primary science education were gathered. The issue found is lack of teaching materials that facilitate the development of the higher-order thinking skills in students, which allow students to learn science independently hence improving their knowledge. This paper will look into the effectiveness of virtual learning to enhance HOTS among the students. Virtual learning, in many ways, have beneficial impacts on learners and communities. To improve the standard of learning according to teachers’ qualifications, it is currently essential to create an e-module virtual learning to improve primary school students' higher order thinking skills. This development is based on the view that e-modules are self-contained and self-instructed and can be used in independent learning. date: 2021-06-07 date_type: published publication: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences volume: 11 number: 6 publisher: Human Resource Management Academic Research Society (www.hrmars.com) pagerange: 57-63 id_number: DOI:10.6007/IJARBSS/v11-i6/10082 refereed: TRUE issn: e-ISSN: 2222 -6990 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJARBSS/v11-i6/10082 related_url_url: http://hrmars.com/index.php/pages/detail/IJARBSS related_url_type: pub citation: Mat, Hamidah and Mustakim, Siti Salina (2021) The effectiveness of virtual learning to enhance higher order thinking skills in year 5 students.
