Abstract
To develop the cognitive and problem-solving competencies of the learners, higher order thinking skill is the best ability. The aim of the present research was to examine the challenges and issues faced by academic staff in creating HOTS for students. The population was secondary school teachers who teach mathematics from Bahawalnagar and 161 (Female 76 and Male 85) participants were selected by simple random sampling technique. Based on five points, Likert scale self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection by applying survey method. Objectives of the study were evaluated by using SPSS. The results indicated a significant difference in gender about instructional skills and students’ attitude. In addition, significant differences were shown regarding the professional experience of the respondents. The study is considered as springboard in creating HOTS of the students by assuming new approaches.
