Abstract

Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) are essential in developing students’ critical and analytical abilities, particularly through reading activities. Many English textbooks still lack adequate integration of HOTS-based tasks, creating a gap between curriculum expectations and actual practice. This study aimed to analyze the distribution of HOTS in the reading exercises of the “English for Nusantara” textbook for eighth grade junior high school students. Employing a descriptive qualitative method and content analysis, data were collected from five chapters of the textbook used at SMP Negeri 1 Gunungsitoli Barat. A checklist based on Bloom’s Taxonomy was used to identify HOTS elements. The findings revealed that only 23 out of 116 reading exercises (19.6%) contained HOTS components. The most common skill was analyzing (C4), followed by creating (C6) and evaluating (C5). These results indicate limited integration of HOTS in the textbook, which highlights the need for improvement in English instructional materials.

Abstract

This research aims to improve the descriptive text writing skills of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Lolofitu Moi through the use of picture media. The background of this research is the students’ low ability in writing descriptive texts in accordance with structure and language rules. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) with two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects were 20 seventh-grade students. Data were collected through observation, writing tests, and filed note, and were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The findings revealed that students’ writing skills improved from the first to the second cycle in terms of text structure, vocabulary, and grammar. The average writing score enhanced and exceeded the Minimum Mastery Criterion (KKM). Therefore, the use of picture media proved effective in enhancing the descriptive text writing skills of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Lolofitu Moi

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of self-directed learning (SDL) strategies on students' reading comprehension at PEMBDA 2 Gunungsitoli Private Junior High School. The background of this study shows that students experience difficulties in understanding reading texts, which has a negative impact on their academic development. The research method used was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design involving two groups: an experimental group using the SDL strategy and a control group using conventional methods. The results showed a significant increase in students' reading comprehension skills in the experimental group compared to the control group. The average pretest score of the experimental group was 43.47 and increased to 89.47 on the posttest, while the control group only increased from 36.27 to 48.13. The t-test showed a significance value (p 0.05), indicating the effectiveness of the SDL strategy in improving reading comprehension. In addition, the N-Gain value for the experimental group was 0.814 (high category), while the control group was only 0.185 (low category). The conclusion of this study is that the application of the SDL strategy significantly improves students' reading comprehension skills, creating a more independent, enjoyable, and meaningful learning experience. This study recommends the use of the SDL strategy in English teaching at the junior high school level as an effective method for improving student learning outcomes.
