Higher Order Thinking Skills (KBAT) is no longer considered to be foreign in the educational sector in Malaysia. KBAT is one of the main branches in transforming the educational curriculum through PPPM 2013-2025, in order to produce generations that are creative and critical in competing alongside the global market. The fast-growing field of science and technology leads to the emphasis of the Higher Order Thinking Skills (KBAT) to produce students that are capable of mastering the 21st century thinking skills. KBAT requires a higher ability level such as creative thinking skill. In truth, KBAT demands students to memorise, comprehend, apply, analyse, assess and create in order to reach the level of excellent thinking skill. To reach this stage, the creative thinking ability relates closely to the students? command. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to determine the relationship of KBAT and KBKRE among students. Survey data were collected from Form 1 students of a daily secondary school in Selangor and analysed using the partial least-squares structural equations modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. The key results found that KBAT has a direct positive relationship with KBKRE.
