Definition of High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) Translated as Kemahiran Berfikir Aras Tinggi (KBAT) in Bahasa Malaysia.

The set of skills that are linked to three categories: i. TransferRequiring students not only to remember, but also to make sense of and be able to use what they have learned.

ii. Critical ThinkingThe reasonable, reflective thinking that is focused on deciding what to believe or do.

iii. Problem SolvingThe problem to solve is how to reach the desired goal. Because a student cannot automatically recognize the proper way to reach the desired goal, she must use one or more higher-order thinking processes.

The HOTS refer to many educational taxonomies (process of classifying something into groups) especially to Blooms Taxonomy.
