Popis: The purpose of this study is to develop and obtain the content validity and reliability of the Higher-Order Thinking Skills Peer Appraisal Inventory based on the Bloom Taxonomy Model reviewed by Anderson and Krathwohl (2001) which was modified in line with the Ministry of Education requirement. Based on the model, there are two divisions namely Lower-Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) and Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) which consist of six (6) sub-scales namely remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating. A total of nine (9) panel of experts with knowledge, skills and practice of HOTS were involved in validating the HOTS-PA. Overall, the experts agreed that the items of HOTS-PA can measure higher-order thinking studies. The expert panel gave the overall content value of HOTS-PA of 0.876 (87.56%). The reliability value was obtained from 40 secondary school students. Overall, the reliability analysis for the HOTS-PA inventory shows a high Cronbach Alpha 's coefficient value of .927. This suggests that HOTS-PA have good reliability and proven that HOTS-PA is suitable to be used to know the level of Higher-Order Thinking Skills among high school students aged 16 to 19 years old. Overall, 30 items have high reliability value and these items are developed at a good and acceptable level. The modifications to some of the items were made after obtaining the experts assessment in making the reliability value conform to the standards set in the development of the items. With regards to the results obtained, several recommendations have been submitted.
