Abstract

There has been a significant rise in the use of social media as platforms for online teaching and learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. WhatsApp as one of learning platforms used by many institutions has given a high contribution in supporting the success of the online learning. The aim of this study is to investigate how students perceive the teaching of higher order thinking skills (HOTS) through EFL online discussion mediated by WhatsApp application. To achieve this aim, Anderson and Krathwohl (2001) model was used by focusing on analysing, evaluating and creating. A set of questionnaire and interview list were used. The result showed the rise of students’ critical thinking and students’ perception about online discussion by using WhatsApp as an appropriate platform for learning and thinking. Furthermore, it is recommended that in order to make this online discussion more effective, the role of teachers as facilitator should be continuously increased.
