Abstract

This study aimes at the implementation of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in reading questions within the English textbook Bahasa Inggris: Work in Progress for 10th-grade high school students and how is the implementation of HOTS realized in the reading question of the English textbook? HOTS, as emphasized in Indonesia’s Curriculum, is critical for fostering students' analytical, evaluative, and creative abilities to meet 21st-century educational demands. The research employs descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through content analysis, categorizing reading questions based on Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy. A checklist table was used for classification, and the data were analyzed using the Miles & Huberman (1994) model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that 58.3% of the questions fall under HOTS, while 41.7% are LOTS. Among HOTS, Analyzing (C4) is the most frequent, followed by Evaluating (C5) and Creating (C6). While the textbook includes HOTS-based questions, many still focus on factual recall, limiting students' critical thinking development. These findings suggest the need for curriculum improvements to ensure a more balanced integration of HOTS. This study provides insights for educators, policymakers, and textbook authors to enhance English instruction and align it with national educational goals.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate students’ perceptions of using Canva as a learning media in reading argumentative texts. A descriptive qualitative design was employed, involving ten twelfth-grade students of MAN 3 Langkat who had prior experience with Canva in English lessons. Data were collected through an open-ended questionnaire distributed via Google Form and analyzed using Miles (2014) framework of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that students’ perceptions were divided into positive and negative categories. Seven students (70%) expressed positive perceptions, describing Canva as attractive, motivating, and effective in clarifying argumentative structures such as claims, reasons, and evidence. They explained that Canva’s visuals and templates helped them stay engaged and organize ideas more clearly during reading activities. Three students (30%) expressed negative perceptions, mainly due to slow loading, restrictions caused by premium features, and readability problems when color contrasts between text and background were weak. In terms of reasons for these perceptions, the analysis showed that Canva captured students’ attention through its colorful design (35.7%) and maintained relevance by connecting visuals with their academic needs (28.6%). Confidence (14.3%) was fostered when Canva’s templates supported systematic thinking, but was reduced when poor design made comprehension difficult. Satisfaction (21.4%) was achieved when Canva functioned smoothly, but was undermined when technical problems disrupted learning. These findings imply the importance of balancing Canva’s strengths with its limitations and maximizing its pedagogical potential to support students in reading argumentative texts effectively.
