Abstract

This study investigates how high school English teachers in different locations (SMA Negeri 3 in Aru Island Regency and SMA Negeri 4 in central Maluku Regency) utilize Bloom’s taxonomy in their questions to improve students’ reading comprehension. Using qualitative methods such as observation, interviews, and documentation, the researcher reveals various question types employed by these teachers, ranging from literal to appreciation questions. Analyzing the questions through Bloom’s taxonomy, the study finds that while teachers cover cognitive levels from understanding to evaluation, questions related to analysis and evaluation are relatively scarce. This suggests a potential oversight in fostering critical thinking skills in reading comprehension instruction. Despite this, the study concludes that the learning process leads to notable improvements in students’ reading comprehension at these schools.

Abstract

This study explores the digital competencies of Christian Education teachers in Tiakur City, located in the Southwest Maluku Regency, with a focus on their ability to implement blended learning. The aim of the research was to assess their current digital skills, identify the challenges they face, and determine effective strategies for integrating technology into teaching. A total of 20 teachers from both junior and senior high school levels participated in the study. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combined surveys, interviews, and classroom observations. The quantitative data from the surveys were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics to evaluate and compare the levels of digital competence. In contrast, the qualitative data collected through interviews and observations were analyzed thematically to identify common patterns and insights. The findings revealed a wide range of digital competencies among the teachers, with some demonstrating strong skills, while others needed additional support. Key challenges identified in the study included limited access to technology, lack of sufficient training, and insufficient technical support. The research highlighted the critical need for targeted professional development, improved technological infrastructure, and enhanced collaboration to support the successful implementation of blended learning. Ultimately, the study emphasizes that improving digital competence and addressing technological barriers are vital to enhancing the quality of Christian Education in remote regions like Southwest Maluku.
