The project investigates the less explored avenue of higher order thinking skills (HOTS) especially for interdisciplinary problem solving and scientific reasoning (IDPSSR) contexts in engineering science higher education. The goal of this study is to develop a preliminary HOTS framework for IDPSSR by gathering the insights from literature and experts from the field concerning HOTS for interdisciplinary scientific research practices. To achieve this objective, we adopted an integrated approach - combining semi-systematic literature review and semi-structured interview methods. From variety of articles, articles focused on teaching HOTS for interdisciplinary approaches in higher education from 1980-2021 were selected for the literature review. Experienced scientists and teachers who are involved in engineering and science education with a focus on interdisciplinarity were selected for the semi-structured interviews through convenience sampling. We gathered, coded, and classified the data using inductive emergent coding, which involves classifying based on emerging patterns rather than fitting the data into preset codes from the literature and interview data. This data set contains the transcriptions of those interviews.
