Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) play an important role in higher education learning. Students will not become good thinkers if they are not trained with activities towards produce good thinking.Hence, the purpose of this research was to identify the pattern of Marzano HOTS based on the
Dimension of Extend and Refine Knowledge among students in Technical Education Faculty,Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia. There are 8 skills in this dimension, namely comparing,classifying, abstracting, inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning, constructing support, analyzing
errors, and analyzing perspectives. Descriptive analysis with quantitative approach was used to collect data by distributing a set of questionnaire comprising 25 items based on the 8 skills with 4 points scale response. Data obtained was analyzed by using mean, Eta and ANOVA methods. The findings of this research indicated that comparing, deducing, constructing support and inducing are at medium level. However, error analyzing, abstracting, analyzing perspectives and classifying are at low level. The Eta analysis indicates that there was a very low positive significant relationship between the level of comparing, classifying, deducing, analyzing perspective and year of study,students’ intake and socio-economic status. Besides that, the findings also showed that there was a significant difference in gender, and academic achievement on level of Marzano HOTS
