Abstract
The element of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) has been included in the
National Preschool Standard Curriculum (KSPK) Revised 2017, which is after four
years of HOTS being transformed in the education system in Malaysia. This study
aims to explore the perspectives and identify practices and challenges of preschool
teachers on the application of HOTS through play activities in the Early Science
component. Based on a qualitative approach of various cases, seven preschool teachers
under the Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE) in the state of Penang were
involved in this study. The selection of participants was done using purposive
sampling. The data for the study were collected through interviews, observation and
document analysis while data analysis was carried out using
Atlasti Version-8 software. The findings of the study indicate that all participants have
a positive view on the practices of application of HOTS through play activities in the
Early Science component. This practice focusing on three main themes namely
planning; implementation; and evaluation of teacher teaching and facilitation. It is
found that the challenges faced by the participants involved teachers, children,
teaching resources and facilitation, classroom environment, student management
assistants and parents. Hence, this study suggested the need for the teachers
and authorities to collaborate in the implementation of HOTS through
play activities, towards producing a generation of thinkers in the future.
