Texts and Tasks in Indonesian Language Textbooks: Do They Support Indonesian Students in the International Reading Literacy Test?

Several international tests on reading literacy consistently showed poor scores for Indonesian students. Textbooks are one of the teaching tools that can contribute to the development of students’ reading literacy. However, no research has examined textbooks’ capacity to develop students’ reading literacy skills, especially those assessed on international tests. The current study investigated the carrying capacity of texts and tasks in Indonesian language textbooks to develop students’ reading literacy skills, particularly those evaluated on international tests. The data were obtained from six Indonesian language textbooks used by junior and senior high school students in Indonesia. These textbooks are officially recommended by the government and are widely used in middle schools in Indonesia. The content analysis combined with the performance framework in the International Student Assessment was used to reveal the text and task dimensions of the Indonesian Language textbooks. The results of the study show that in the aspect of text, textbooks have conformity with the international test, but are weak in infographics which are not problematic. Likewise, the underlying contexts of the texts are not evenly distributed. In the task aspect, the dominant cognitive processes are to search for and locate information, but are limited in understanding, evaluating, and reflecting on the contents of the text. The response format is dominated by essay-type tests that do not adequately account for objective tests. From this, it can be concluded that the texts and tasks of the Indonesian textbooks do not correspond to the texts and tasks of the international reading literacy tests. This study recommends the need for adjustments in establishing guidelines for developing and evaluating textbooks to develop students’ reading literacy at the international level.

The Culture Gap: An Analysis of Source, Target, and Global Culture Representation in Indonesian English Teaching Textbooks

Most Indonesian educators are insufficient to address the importance of educating students about other cultures. This problem emerges as a result of foreign language teachers' lack of understanding of how to incorporate culture into language acquisition, particularly in English. This research aims to investigate culture's representation and examine the culture introduced in Indonesian textbooks for senior high school students who learn English as a foreign language. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach with an intercultural perspective, the study systematically analyzes the cultural content and themes present in three Electronic English teaching textbooks: Bahasa Inggris X, Bahasa Inggris IX, and Bahasa Inggris XI revised edition (2017) by Kemdikbud RI. The analysis of the textbooks' contents is conducted using the framework developed by Cortazzi and Jin (1999), specifically focusing on Source Culture, Target Culture, and International Culture. These textbooks were selected as they are widely used in Indonesian senior high schools and are published by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture. The findings of the study reveal that the dominance of source culture content is significant, while the representation of target culture and international culture is considerably low. Furthermore, among the 19 cultural motifs categorized as Big Culture and Little Culture, the prevalence of Little Culture themes is most notable. The findings of this research shed light on the existing disparity and call for a more comprehensive approach to cultural education in English language learning. By acknowledging the imbalance and addressing the representation of different cultures, educators can better equip students with intercultural competence and foster a deeper understanding of diverse cultural perspectives.

Analisis Komparasi Buku Teks Matematika Indonesia dan Singapura pada Topik Sistem Persamaan Linear Dua Variabel

Textbooks can affect the student’s learning process. Every curriculum has textbooks as the main teaching material. Several SPK schools in Indonesia adopted the curriculum implemented in Singapore. This study aims to figure out the comparison of material content and material presentation in Indonesian and Singaporean mathematics textbooks on SPLDV topics. This research applied a qualitative approach with a comparative descriptive research type. The books analyzed were the 2013 curriculum mathematics textbook for class VIII Semester 1 and the Discovering Mathematics 2A (2nd Edition) Singaporean textbook. Based on the results of the analysis, the two textbooks have their respective similarities and differences in each aspect and component analyzed. In the way of presenting the material, Indonesian mathematics textbooks tend to be monotonous in that one page is densely filled with writing but the color choices vary. Whereas in the Singapore textbook, the method of presenting material utilizes a varied layout by adding small spots (bubbles) even though the color selection does not vary too much. The advantages of Indonesian textbooks are the use of contextual problems when introducing a concept, whereas in Singapore textbooks contextual problems are only presented in practice questions. On the other hand, Singapore textbooks have advantages in terms of integrating the use of technology and anticipating students' misconceptions.
