Abstract

Even though the implementation of higher-order thinking skills has been mandated by the Curriculum 2013, some English teachers find it complex, especially during the covid-19 outbreak. This study aims at finding out the problems faced by three English teachers in implementing higher-order thinking skills.  It is framed under a case study design in which documentation and semi-structured interview were used for data collection. Data gathered from both semi-interviewed and documentation were analyzed using thematic analysis in which the data were coded into some themes.  The finding reveals that teachers have some external and internal problems in the implementation of higher-order thinking skills. For the internal factors, the teachers admitted that they lacked training and exposure to the integration of higher-order thinking skills. They acknowledged that they frequently employ instructional strategies they have used successfully in the past. While for the external factors, the teachers asserted that the students lack the motivation to learn English online. The majority of students choose not to participate in learning activities. This study suggests that teachers must engage in continuing professional development (CPD), which can be accomplished in a variety of methods, in order to encourage the integration of higher-order thinking abilities in the classroom. If the government and the schools where the instructors educate support this CPD, it will be successful.

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of authentic assessment on students' critical thinking in English classes. The study targeted two English teachers who had experience using authentic assessment in their classrooms. Data was collected through observation, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and documentation. The findings of the study showed that authentic assessment had a positive impact on students' critical thinking. Students who participated in authentic assessments were more motivated to learn, were better able to apply their English skills in a real-world context and were more likely to engage in critical thinking. The study also identified several opportunities/dispositions that promoted students' critical thinking in authentic assessments. These included teamwork and monitoring, which helped students identify other people's ideas, evaluate the evidence for a particular issue, reflect on an issue by bringing in logical opinions, draw conclusions about an issue, and present their points of view. The findings of this study suggest that authentic assessment is a valuable tool for promoting critical thinking in English classes.

Abstract

Sebagaimana diketahui bahwa sampai saat ini pemerintah Indonesia terus menggencarkan literasi pada jenjang sekolah, terutama sekolah dasar dan sekolah menengah. Berbagai program literasi dibuat agar literasi peserta didik meningkat. Kegiatan penguatan literasi peserta didik juga dilakukan dalam kegiatan pembelajaran langsung. Salah satunya dalam pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris. Agar kemampuan literasi peserta didik dalam Bahasa Inggris meningkat, diperlukan pendekatan atau metode yang sesuai. Oleh karena itu, guru perlu kreatif dan inovatif agar pembelajaran berlangsung efektif dengan menggunakan metode dan pendekatan pengajaran baru yang berkaitan dengan metode komunikatif, sehingga mendorong motivasi peserta didik untuk belajar. Salah satu metode atau pendekatan yang dianggap mampu meningkatkan kemampuan literasi Bahasa Inggris peserta didik yaitu Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). Inovasi pembelajaran untuk meningkatkan kemampuan lumerasi peserta didik pada pelajaran Bahasa Inggris dengan pendekatan/metode Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) terbukti dapat membantu meningkatkan kemampuan literasi peserta didik dalam materi daily activity dan membiasakan peserta didik untuk berpikir kritis dan berlatih. Melalui inovasi strategi pemberian umpan balik lisan pada proses belajar yang diberikan secara berkala ini, peserta didik telah terbiasa terampil memprediksi, membedakan dan membandingkan, serta menilai makna yang secara implisit disampaikan oleh teks.
