21st Century learning requires a lot of skills that students need to have. One of them is the technology literacy skills and High Order Thinking Skill (HOTS). Cognitive skills in technology literacy are based on the use of digital technology to manage information, communication tools or networks to ensure a person’s success and function in society. Many researchers pointed out that mobile technologies in general and mobile phones in particular play a fundamental role in both teaching and learning process. Today, the application of mobile technology is widely promoted in the national education system. Therefore, this paper is a concept paper aimed at discussing the capabilities of mobile technology in improving students’ HOTS based on findings from previous studies. The literature review is based on publications from 2015 to the present. It is hoped this study can be used to benefit the educators while integrating the mobile technology in their teaching and learning, and to improve the HOTS in line with current developments.
