Practical Recommendations

To date, the 2013 curriculum has been implemented for almost a decade. But this latest curriculum has not been well-implemented due to many obstacles. Accordingly, plethora studies have been extensively carried out to refine the praxis. However, the investigation of this area in junior high schools is underexplored. Thus, this study was carried out to fill this void. This research study aimed to investigate the problems in enacting 2013 Curriculum, to reveal the hindering factors, and to showcase how teachers cope with those problems. Grounded in a case study, nine English teachers of state junior high schools were recruited. Data were collected through observations, documentations, and interviews. The findings confirmed that teachers experienced some delinquent setback in translating curriculum into instruction. This was related to how they teach using suggested teaching stages, integrate intended domains of competence, and conduct authentic assessment. Furthermore, students’ lack of motivation and autonomy was also a sizeable impediment. In relation to this, some hindering factors and teachers’ endeavours to cope with the abovementioned problems were also elaborated systematically. To end this article, some practical recommendations were proposed accordingly.

Some schools provide special activity courses for the child who seems retarded in arithmetic. The Grosse Pointe junior high schools provide such a course, which is designated as General Mathematics and offered to seventh- or eighth-grade pupils who test below the average in ability to do arithmetic.

Higher Order Thinking Skills

The 2013 curriculum in Indonesia mandates that teachers should develop students� Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). One of the learning goals through HOTS is to make sure that students can analyze, evaluate, and create their knowledge. However, studies on HOTS issues in English learning, particularly in reading skills, are still very limited. Therefore, this study aimed at describing the teachers� strategies in developing HOTS in teaching reading skills. The researcher used a mixed-method, as it is relevant to the methodology needed in this study. The participants were 22 English teachers of Junior High Schools in Yogyakarta. The data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and interviews. The findings indicated that the strategies by the teachers to develop HOTS were as follows: (1) asking divergent questions to the students, (2) using group discussions, (3) informing learning objectives to the students, (3) giving feedback to invite the students to review, refine, and improve understanding about learning materials, and (5) giving motivation to the students to think critically. The recommendation for further study is also discussed.

1. Assume the existence of a large (1,600-pupil) junior high school, well staffed and amply supported, receiving all seventh and eighth grade pupils, and also all retarded pupils over 12 years of age. Assume that such a school makes no attempt to give specific training for any vocation or group of related vocations, hut offers “vocationally flavored” courses, if thereby it can better motivate specific branches of the cultural, civic, and physical education (the components of general or liberal education) which are its primary concern.
