Abstract

This factorial quasi-experimental 22 study aimed to corroborate the effect of PRWR strategy compared to Translation and Reading Aloud on students’ academic content-area reading comprehension as observed from their English proficiency. The interaction between the strategy and English proficiency was also examined. Data were obtained from a reading comprehension test, a TOEFL PBT Equivalent test, and a questionnaire on students’ perception towards the PRWR strategy. Both the reading test and the questionnaire were expert validated and tried out, whereas the TOEFL PBT Equivalent test was conducted under the auspices of an English institute. 58 sophomore students at a state university in Malang, Indonesia, served as the subjects of the study. This turned out that first; students taught by the PRWR strategy have better reading comprehension than that of by Translation and Reading Aloud. Second, students with high English proficiency taught by the PRWR strategy have better reading comprehension than that of taught by Translation and Reading Aloud. Third, there was no interaction between reading strategy and English proficiency. All in all, the employment of the PRWR strategy was highly recommended in academic content-area reading comprehension.

Abstract

The objectives of this study are to investigate the composition of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) on the English teacher-made test based on the revised Bloom’s taxonomy and investigating the quality of the teacher-made tests viewed from the composition of HOTS. This study was a content analysis that used a triangulation design: data transformation model mixed method approach. The data of this study were teacher-made test sets that consisted of 136 questions. The data were analyzed by understanding the operational verbs used in each item of the teacher-made test based on the cognitive domain of revised Bloom’s taxonomy. Then, data were put in a checklist table based in each cognitive domain category. After that, the data were calculated quantitatively and interpreted qualitatively. The results show that the composition of HOTS was lower than the Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) of all questions on the teacher-made tests. The most frequent cognitive domain of the Bloom’s taxonomy found on the teacher-made test was C2 (Understand), followed by C4 (Analyze), C3 (Apply), C1 (Remember), C5 (Evaluate), and C6 (Create). Moreover, the quality of the teacher-made tests viewed from the composition of HOTS was in a less proportional criterion. In conclusion, the findings indicate constructing a test based on the principles of HOTS seem still problematic for Senior High School English teachers.
