Currently in 21st century, the extremely unique, vibrant and powerful work environment requires employees with fundamental abilities that blend with real life experiences and self-assurance. Many students whom failed to acquire these skills facing the risk of jobless as stated by a few recent reports. Thus, to be more innovative, have good creativity, ideal and imaginative, one should acquire HOTs skills to enhance their creative thinking and critical thinking skills. Therefore, this article emphasis how to inculcate HOTs through Thinking Based Learning (TBL) during extracurricular activities (ECA) to boost students’ concern in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
