HIGHER-ORDER THINKING SKILLS (HOTS): A PATHWAY TO SUSTAINABILITY AND LIFELONG LEARNING IN STUDENTS

In order to meet the current needs of society, the goal of education has shifted from rote memorization to lifelong learning. Our resources are being exploited in the name of progress, which is bad for the future. Education must incorporate sustainability if we are to promote sustainable development. Students who possess higher order thinking abilities may be more sustainable and study throughout their lives. Advanced thinking capabilities, such as the capacity to analyse, evaluate, and create, are referred to as higher order thinking skills. Through a literature review, this research piece aims to investigate higher order thinking skills, sustainability, and lifetime learning. It also analyses how these skills promote progress in the area of sustainability and lifelong learning. The study's findings indicate that HOTS aid sustainability and lifelong learning in students. According to the review, lifelong learning is encouraged and HOTS are required to handle the complexity of sustainability.
