  • Description: Scholars have defined higher-order thinking (HOT) skills as a cognitive ability to interpret, analyze, arrange, and extend newly obtained and learned information (Lewis & Smith, 1993; Newmann, 1991a). Higher-order thinking skills draw much public attention, because they have been deemed to be an essential determinant of contemporary educational outcomes. Due to a flood of information in this era due to easy and fast internet access and synchronous social networking, skills such as how to select, organize, and critically analyze sources are more valued than skills to acquire knowledge and information (Alexander et al., 2011). The aforementioned informational flood is even more emphasized in South Korea, where fast internet connections and mobile technology have been developed more quickly than in any other country in the world (Lee, O'Keefe, & Yun, 2003). One of the venues for educational reforms is, therefore, adopting and highlighting HOT, a core competency at various school levels in South Korea. For this study, the authors sought to develop a valid and reliable but pedestrian scale to measure the HOT that South Korean college students can use for their monitoring. In developing the scale, they assumed HOT skills to be a domain-general competency and a core competency for college students in current and future educational settings based on the previous literature (Amabile, 1996; Csikszentmihalyi, 1999; Ennis, 1962; Newmann, 1988; Resnick & Resnick, 1992; Siegel, 1992). Before development of the HOT skills scale, they elicited a definition and a factor structure of HOT skills from previous studies.
