The process of learning Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) does not only require rote memorization, it requires the application of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Through the STEM Club, students have the opportunity to explore subjects using scientific methods with the aim of understanding them better and finding answers to issues that arise. This quasi-experimental study examined the effectiveness of the STEM Club Design Thinking Approach Module towards the enhancement and retention of HOTS among 32 primary school students. The effect of module usage was measured three times using HOTS test, which was pre-intervention (pretest), post-intervention (post-test) and three months after intervention (extended post-test). Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. The findings show significant differences between pre- and post-test scores, as well as post- and extended post-test scores; this indicates that this module significantly enhanced and improved the retention of HOTS. This implicates that the application of this module can enhance students' productivity in terms of creativity and innovative thinking through hands-on activities in real-life contexts and challenge students' higher-level thinking ability. This study suggests that this module is integrated into the learning process of mainstream STEM subjects in order to meet the national aspirations of producing outstanding students in academic as well as co-curriculum.
