Abstract
This study aims to reveal the science process skills profile and the question type categories in physics textbooks for senior high school on the principle of direct current circuits. The research method in this study is descriptive analysis with a qualitative-quantitative approach. The sample of this research is two physics textbooks that refer to the 2013 curriculum which is generally used as learning resources in Senior High schools in Indonesia. The determination of the sample in this study is based on the purposive sampling technique. The results showed that book A and book B already contained all aspects of Science Process Skills (SPS) although with different percentages. The results also showed that the aspect that appears the most is "observing" aspects of science process skills (SPS) which are 29.27% for book A and 36.36% for book B. The profile of questions shows that book A brings up a lot of C3 questions categories (applying), which are included in questions that do not require high reasoning in solving them. Other than that book B show that in book B there are many C4 questions categories (analyzing) which are included in questions that require high reasoning in solving them. Both books A and B do not present C5 (evaluating) and C6 (creating) questions categories that require high reasoning
Highlights
One of the challenges of the 21st century is competition between countries, especially in technology. Kumar (2013) and Prain (2012) stated that to be able to live in a good competition in the 21st century, young generations must at least own these abilities; communication skills, interpersonal relation, critical and rational thinking, problem-solving, risk-taking, cooperating skill, innovative skill, leadership, and technology.Indonesia needs to prepare human resources to master the technology needed and all 21st-century skills
Other than that book B show that in book B there are many C4 questions categories which are included in questions that require high reasoning in solving them
It can be seen that in book B there are many categories of questions C4 which are included in questions that require high reasoning in solving them

The quality of education, including in physics education, is expected to answer the challenges of the 21st century. Textbooks are one aspect that plays a major and important role in the learning process at school. Textbooks have a very strong influence on the learning process because they are one of the main sources for students to acquire knowledge. Textbooks can be the first and foremost interpreter of the vision and mission of education, books are referred to as "shortcuts" in improving the quality of education. In addition to conveying coherence between the concepts of students'
