Abstract

This research aimed to analyse questions included in English Teacher Association (MGMP) Published English Workbooks (LKS) for Senior High School in Padang based on Barrett’s Taxonomy in Reading Comprehension. The taxonomy consists of five stages which are “Literal Comprehension,” “Reorganization,” “Inferential Comprehension,” “Evaluation,” and “Appreciation.” The research design used for this research is descriptive qualitative, and the instruments used to gather necessary data are an observation checklist and interview questions. The analysed questions were classified based on the stages of Barrett’s taxonomy. The result of the analysis showed that from all the reading comprehension questions in all the workbooks observed, Inferential Comprehension is the stage that is applied by the questions the most, which is at 48.2%, followed by Literal Comprehension at 42.5%, Reorganization at 8%, Appreciation at 1%, and Evaluation at 0.3% of the total questions observed. Although all the stages of Barrett’s taxonomy are present in the workbooks, it does not imply that the taxonomy has been applied in the MGMP Published Workbooks, for the percentages of the questions from each stage do not resemble the recommended rates proposed for each of the stage. In addition to that, by interviewing members of the writing team of the workbooks, it was found that Barrett’s taxonomy had never been applied when constructing questions for the workbooks. This backs up the previous idea that Barrett’s was not applied in MGMP Published English workbooks.

Abstract

This research aims to analyse the reading comprehension questions given by English Teachers at SMAN Kota Padang based on Barrett’s Taxonomy. This taxonomy has five levels, namely: Literal Comprehension, reorganization, Inferential Comprehension, Evaluation, and Appreciation. This study is being done using a descriptive qualitative research design. To gather the necessary data and information, the observation checklist and interview questions are used as instrumentation. The stages of Barrett's taxonomy were used to categorize the questions that were analysed. The results of this studyindicate that from all the reading questions gathered and observed at six schools and three grades, Inferential Comprehension level has the most questions with 40,07% of the total reading comprehension found in grade X, XI, and XII. It is followed by reorganization level at 35,91%, literal comprehension level at 23,01%, evaluation level at 0,39%, and appreciation level at 0,19%. While the conclusive English assessment at SMAN Kota Padang encompasses all facets of Barrett's taxonomy, its implementation is not necessarily reflected in the formulation of reading inquiries. This discrepancy arises from the dissimilarity between the question distribution across taxonomy stages and the advised proportional distribution. Correspondingly, insights gathered from discussions with the teachers indicated that Barrett's taxonomy had not been integrated into the question development process for the final English test. This affirmation further reinforces the notion that the reading comprehension questions given by English teachers have remained detached from the application of Barrett's taxonomy.
