Abstract

Critical reading is a core academic competence for International Relations students who regularly engage with global news texts. Such texts frequently embed ideological framing, selective evidence, and political agendas that require analytical interpretation. This study examines students’ self-perceived critical reading competence after instruction using the Global News Analysis Model (GNAM). It also explores students’ perceptions of GNAM’s effectiveness and identifies instructional components perceived as most influential. A quantitative descriptive survey was conducted with 72 International Relations students who completed GNAM-based learning activities. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale. Reliability analysis showed strong internal consistency (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.88). Results indicate moderate to high perceived critical reading competence, with the strongest confidence in identifying main claims (M = 4.12, SD = 0.54) and the weakest in detecting media bias and framing (M = 3.31, SD = 0.73). GNAM was perceived as effective overall (M = 4.07, SD = 0.45), particularly in comparative media analysis (M = 4.26, SD = 0.49). The findings suggest that GNAM supports students’ analytical awareness of global news, although deeper ideological evaluation remains challenging.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the integration of Facione's Critical Thinking Framework in the textbook "English for Change" for grade XI of senior high school (SMA/MA). Using a qualitative descriptive content analysis approach, this study examines the frequency and distribution of six critical thinking aspects of Interpretation (INT), Analysis (ANL), Evaluation (EVA), Inference (INF), Explanation (EXP), and Self-Regulation (SRG) in learning materials and learning activities in five textbook units. Data were collected through systematic document analysis guided by Facione's (2015) operational indicators and validated by an expert in the field of English language teaching and critical thinking. The results showed that in Learning Materials, there were 145 occurrences with ANL dominating (44.8%), while EXP and SRG were almost absent (1.4 each), indicating significant imbalance. In Learning Activities, there were 334 occurrences with a much more even distribution across all aspects. These findings indicate that the “English for Change” textbook integrates critical thinking more comprehensively through activities than the learning materials, and the integration of CT in the Explanation and Self-Regulation dimensions in the materials still needs to be strengthened.
