learners that our schools produce in the future. In this high-tech fast-changing world, it is of great importance that our learners can cope and
successfully adapt to the challenges accompanying this change. To do so, they must develop their higher-order thinking skills to help them be able to
solve simple to complex day-to-day problems (Miterianifa et al., 2021). Moreover, developing students’ critical and higher-order thinking skills is seen as
one of the key players for them to significantly surpass and be able to finish their studies which will in turn, enable them to become original thinkers and
learners for life.

In light of the 2018 PISA result, it was found that among 79 participating countries, we ranked last in reading and second to last in both science and
