Abstract

Abstract The Revised Bloom's Taxonomy provides a framework for evaluating cognitive levels in learning materials, and achieving a balanced distribution of lower- and higher-order thinking skills in textbooks is essential to fulfilling the objectives of the Merdeka Curriculum. This study aims to analyze the cognitive levels of reading comprehension questions in Interactive English 2 for Junior High School, Merdeka Curriculum edition, based on the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy. Using a qualitative descriptive design with document analysis, 114 reading comprehension questions across 10 chapters were examined and classified into six cognitive domains: Remembering (CI), Understanding (C2), Applying (C3), Analyzing (C4), Evaluating (C5), and Creating (C6). The analysis revealed that lower-order thinking skills dominated, with Remembering (62.28%) and Understanding (18.42%) comprising the majority, while higher-order thinking skills such as Analyzing (7.02%), Evaluating (6.14%), and Creating (3.51%) were underrepresented. These findings indicate that the textbook emphasizes factual recall and basic comprehension over critical, analytical, and creative thinking. which is inconsistent with the goals of the Merdeka Curriculum. Therefore, it is recommended that future textbook development ensure a more balanced distribution of cognitive levels to better support students' higher-order thinking skills.

Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction has increased, particularly through AI-generated feedback to support reading activities. However, research on students’ trust in AI feedback and its relationship with critical reading ability remains limited. This study investigates EFL students’ trust in AI-generated feedback and examines its relationship with critical reading performance. Using a quantitative correlational design, the study involved 17 undergraduate EFL students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Bengkulu, Indonesia. Data were collected through a five-item Likert-scale questionnaire measuring trust in AI feedback and a five-item critical reading test. Descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rank correlation analysis were applied. The results show that students demonstrated a moderate level of trust in AI-generated feedback (M = 3.40 per item) and moderate to relatively high critical reading performance (M = 3.35 out of 5). The correlation analysis revealed a positive but weak relationship between trust in AI feedback and critical reading performance (ρ = 0.28, p = .27), indicating no statistically significant correlation. These findings suggest that although students generally trust AI-generated feedback, such trust alone does not significantly enhance critical reading ability, highlighting the importance of integrating AI feedback with teacher guidance in EFL reading instruction.
