Development and Validation of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTs) Activities Module for Tahfiz Education

Content validation by four experts yielded an overall CVI of 0.99, with exceptions for two items requiring improvement. Minor revisions were implemented based on expert feedback. The module successfully bridges the gap between traditional and modern teaching methods
