Teaching Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) has its own challenges and need to be emphasized in the curriculum as it is one of the skills of the 21st century. HOTS is among six main characteristics of students who aspire Ministry of Education to succeed globally. However, studies on the effectiveness of the module KBAT in science subjects still not carried out. Hence, the purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of teaching modules based on higher order thinking skills in science subjects in primary schools. The first phase of this study is to identify the needs of teachers of science on higher-order thinking skills module. The needs analysis also aims to determine the need and willingness of teachers to KBAT module in the teaching of science in primary schools. The initial analysis is carried out based on the protocol requirements interview involving 6 teachers teaching science subjects in six primary schools. The results showed that the willingness of teachers in the implementation and knowledge is minimal. Teachers are also not mastered the skills to integrate elements of higher order thinking skills in science teaching. Students facing dificulties to understand the questions as well as the teachers to develop high-level questions are identified problems faced by teachers. The interview data also shows teachers need simple guidance material or HOTS module to use for teaching and learning in the classroom.
