Abstract

Critical thinking is still infrequently taught in the classroom, particularly in Indonesia, despite the fact that many experts believe it is a vital problem in the education area. As a result, the purpose of this research was to picture the use of the revised Bloom taxonomy to investigate critical thinking in language tests. The article analyses the test items in language tests which consists of the High thinking order level based on the revised Bloom's theory. To begin, this current work summarizes past research, which found that critical thinking has been studied in a variety of areas in language teaching but has yet to address language evaluation using the revised Bloom's taxonomy. It is necessary to present the six-level Anderson and Krathwohl (2001) taxonomy, which is then referred to as the revised Bloom's taxonomy, before discussing how to promote critical thinking. Then, the finding indicates that the item tests which are considered to be high order skills consistently direct students to think critically and systematically.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to picture out the implementation of the three up levels of the cognitive domain of revised Bloom’s Taxonomy used in the reading comprehension questions of Complete English for Cambridge Secondary 1, namely analyzing level, evaluating level, and creating level. Using the descriptive qualitative method, this study examined the questions in the reading comprehension questions of the Complete English for Cambridge Secondary 1 published by Oxford University Press – Oxford, United Kingdom, in 2016, arranged by Dean Roberts, Jane Arredondo, Annabel Charles, Alan Jenkins, & Tony Parkinson to categorize the reading comprehension questions into HOTs levels.   A Revised Bloom's taxonomy-based checklist was utilized to gather, list, and classify these questions according to their cognitive levels. Then, for each level, the percentages were computed and finally described in account paragraphs. The findings of this study confirmed that Oxford University Press is a creditable publisher which accommodates HOTS in reading comprehension exercises based on the revised Bloom Taxonomy. The result showed that the most dominant level in the textbook was higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) was analyzing level in 50%. Then the evaluation reached 30% and creating reached got 20%. Additionally, this research has consolidated the confirmation base for using the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy as a framework for revealing cognitive processes included in the high-order thinking skills.
