Critical Thinking: Its Representation in Indonesian ELT Textbooks and Education Critical Thinking: Its Representation in Indonesian ELT Textbooks and Education Hamzah Puadi Ilyas PhD University of York Education February 2015 Abstract My original contribution to knowledge consists in generating a new critical thinking framework that can be used to investigate the elements of critical thinking in textbooks. The framework, however, can also be used as a guideline for teachers who are concerned with the development of learners’ critical thinking skills. Critical thinking has been included in an Indonesian government document as an educational objective; however, it is currently neglected and not seriously disseminated in schools. This study attempts to investigate to what extent critical thinking has been manifested in textbooks in Indonesia and to what extent Indonesian senior secondary school students are ready for the teaching of critical thinking skills. To this end, the study investigates the elements of critical thinking contained in Indonesian ELT textbooks and students’ responses to modified materials containing elements of critical thinking. Three methods are adopted: content analysis, qualitative analysis of students’ written responses, and interviews. Predetermined analytic categories are used to analyse nine Indonesian ELT textbooks used by senior secondary schools. The categories have been created as a result of evaluating, examining, and synthesising Bloom’s and Freeman’s critical thinking taxonomies, critical thinking strategies from empirical studies, critical thinking programmes created by critical thinking authorities and critical thinking tests. The findings of the content analysis show that the textbooks examined do contain a few elements of critical thinking. Critical thinking questions occupy 15.81% of all of the questions analysed. As the literature has stated that facilitating students’ critical thinking needs to be progressive, the findings suggest that most activities in the textbooks can be used at a basic level in scaffolding to promote students’ critical thinking skills and that more critical thinking activities must be developed by teachers. Promoting Indonesian students’ critical thinking skills is possible as the findings of materials implementation and interviews indicate that the students have the potential to be critical. The findings also show that students are ready to accept the teaching of critical thinking skills. 2 Table of contents Abstract ……………………………………………………………………………2 Table of contents …………………………………………………………………..3 List of tables ……………………………………………………………………….8 List of figures ……………………………………………………………………..10 Acknowledgements ……………………………………………………………….12 Declaration ………………………………………………………………………..13 Chapter 1: Introduction and thesis overview 1.1 Introduction …………………………………………………………………14 1.2 Background to the study ……………………………………………….........14 1.3 Research problem and questions ……………………………………………16 1.4 Justification for the study and its contributions to the field of education and ELT ………………………………………..………………...18 1.5 A brief overview of the methods…………………………………………….20 1.6 The structure of this thesis …………………………………………………..21 Chapter 2: Indonesian research context 2.1 Introduction …………………………………………………………………23 2.2 Educational system in Indonesia ……………………………………………23 2.3 ELT in Indonesia ……………………………………………………………28 2.4 Critical thinking and socio-political conditions in Indonesia ……………….39 2.5 Indonesian ELT textbooks ………………………………………………......43 Chapter 3: Review of the literature 3.1 Introduction …………………………………………………………………46 3.2 Critical thinking: A theoretical discussion ……………………..…………...46 3 3.3 The discussion of various constructs of critical thinking and of their use in research ………………………………………………….…………59 3.3.1 Critical thinking taxonomies ……………………………………….59 3.3.2 Critical thinking strategies …………………………………………65 i.

  • Malaysia Location Geography
    Malaysia Location Malaysia consists of two geographical segments. West Malaysia, the southern third of the Malay Peninsula in South East Asia and East Malaysia, which occupies the northern quarter of the island of Borneo. Thailand to the north, the South China Sea to the east, and Singapore bind West Malaysia to the south, and the Strait of Malacca to the west. East Malaysia is bound by Indonesia to the south, the South China Sea to the west and north, and the Sulu Sea to the northeast. The county is slightly larger than New Mexico with a land area of 329,750 square kilometers. Malaysia is located at 2 30 N, 112 30 E. Geography The enclave of Brunei is located in the northern region of East Malaysia. West or Peninsula Malaysia consists of a range of steep forest covered mountains with coastal plains to the east and west, while the principal river is the Pahang. East Malaysia has a broad swampy, coastal plain that rises to jungle-covered hills in the interior. The principal rivers of East Malaysia are the Rajang, Baram, Lupar, Limbang, Kinabatangan and Padas. West Malaysia grows out of the Asian continent and thrusts boldly into the island world of Indonesia. West Malasia area of 51,319 sq. miles makes up approximately 40% of the country's total land. West Malaysia dominates the nation by virtue of its economic and political importance. Approximately 400 miles of sea separate East and West Malaysia, forming a geographic barrier that has given rise to cultural differences and intense rivalry between the two states, particularly from the side of the Borneo provinces.

  • Various Types of Instruments in the Inventory of Iban Cultural Music
    Muallim Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities (MJSSH) Volume 1- Issue 2 (2017), Pages 1-20 / ISSN: eISSN 2590-3691 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ VARIOUS TYPES OF INSTRUMENTS IN THE INVENTORY OF IBAN CULTURAL MUSIC 1 Chemaline Anak Osup 1Faculty of Languages and Communication, Sultan Idris Education University, Malaysia. Email: [email protected] Abstract This paper aims to examine the inventory of the cultural and musical heritage of the Iban people in Sarawak and emphasized the types of instruments played. The study synthesized that the Iban traditional music is percussion-oriented, consisting of various types of percussion ensembles such as gongs, drums, stringed instruments as well as wind instruments. There are 18 instruments discovered through field work, structured interviews, survey, questionnaires consisting of free-response questions, observation with check-list and document analysis. Findings show that these cultural musical instruments are three gongs (engkerumung, bebendai and setawak), five drums (gendang, ketebung, rebana, tar and tengkuang), seven stringed instruments (balulin, belikan, engkeratung, engkerebab, serunai, ruding and sape) and three wind instruments (engkerurai, enserunai and ensuling). Most sadly it has been discovered that today, unfortunately very few younger people know how to play belikan, engkeratung, engkerebab, serunai, ruding and engkerurai and the art of playing these instrument is rapidly dying out. Significantly, the Ibans should cultivate the skills and inclinations of playing these stringed and wind instruments otherwise this traditional and cultural musical art will be swallowed by the era modernization in the music industry. Keywords: Bards, Gongs, Instrumental, Percussion, Ensemble, Distinctive, Improvise, Predominant Introduction Iban traditional music can be divided into two major categories – vocal and instrumental music (Vinson and Sutlive, 2001)1.

  • Borneo Again: Media, Social Life and Nation-Building Among the Iban of Malaysian Borneo
    Borneo again: media, social life and nation-building among the Iban of Malaysian Borneo Ph.D. Social Anthropology University College London John R. Postill (LONDON Abstract This study examines the social and political significance of media among the Iban of Sarawak, in Malaysian Borneo. It is intended to contribute both to the ethnographic literature on the lban and to a neglected field of inquiry of key theoretical and practical importance: the anthropological study of media. The thesis is divided into seven chapters. The first chapter introduces the problem by critically reviewing the relevant literature from social anthropology and media studies. The second chapter deals with the production side of modern media from an historical perspective. The production of a modern lban identity through radio and print media in the 1 960s was superseded in the 1970s by a more vigorous rival project supported through television and textbooks: the creation of a Malaysian national culture. The third chapter explores the 'social life and afterlife' of television sets in the Saribas region as they enter into the gift and exchange systems that bind the living and the dead, including burial rites at which television sets are destroyed. This approach reveals growing wealth disparities in rural Sarawak as well as culture-specific ways in which media artefacts are appropriated and disposed of. Chapter Four analyses the critical role of radio, television, public-address systems and other media in the organisation of social time and space in Saribas longhouse communities. I argue that these media help local people to routinely naturalize clock and calendar time both in their daily and festive lives.
