Abstract: Abstract This research aims to analyze trends and determine whether developing new educational values that emphasize higher-order thinking skills is possible. The data source in this study is Google Scholar. The keywords used are Higher-order Thinking Skills, Problem-Based Learning, and 21st Century Skills until 2022. After the data is collected, a bibliometric analysis is performed. The results showed that based on data collection conducted for 28 years (1995-2022), 996 journals were obtained. Research on HOTS as a whole is experiencing an increasing trend. Since 2007, research on HOTS has increased yearly. The highest in 2021 was 189 journals, even though there was a decrease in publications in 2022 to 164 journals. There are 6 clusters, with 63 items, the highest occurrence rate, a ‘problem’ occurring 837 times, and a link strength of 1.306. The development of research on HOTS has become an exciting and essential topic in education, psychology, neuroscience, and other social science fields. HOTS refer to the ability to think critically, creatively, and analytically, and different HOTS involve complex problem-solving, abstract reasoning, information synthesis, and conceptual understanding.
