<p>This research mainly aims at conducting an extensive evaluation of the two English textbooks for senior high school grade tenth revised edition based on <em>Kurikulum 2013 yang disempurnakan</em> (curriculum 2013 revised edition). This study employed a descriptive qualitative study. The English textbooks for the tenth grade published by Erlangga and Ministry of Education and Culture were selected as the sources of data. The evaluation focuses on how far the textbooks provide learning to promote cognitive skill. Basic competencies in cognitive domain of curriculum 2013 were adapted as an instrument to evaluate the textbooks. Findings found that the textbooks’ authors of the two textbooks have tried to present opportunities for students to achieve core competencies in cognitive domain of curriculum 2013 in several units. Nevertheless, there are certain units that need additional instructions to provide more opportunities for students in acquiring low and high-order thinking skills. On the basis of the findings, the textbooks may revise or improve the textbooks’ content by adding more experiences for students to achieve the levels of taxonomy bloom expected in the core and basic competencies of curriculum 2013. The findings are also useful for teachers to add or modify the instructions that suit the purposes of curriculum 2013 specifically in cognitive domain.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>

Science process skills (SPS) are the tools that are needed in chemistry learning in 21 st century. SPS are thinking skills that used to build knowledge in problems solving. SPS aim to measure thinking skills and create active learning. SPS based learning can also enhance the knowledge of students towards science. In the other words, SPS have positive relationship with the cognitive domain, including the analytical thinking skills. Analytical thinking is one of a high order thinking skills that are used to elaborate, attribute, and analyze information to understand the knowledge using logical thinking. Analytical thinking is the thinking that is based on facts which will help in solving the problems and finding the solutions that supports critical and creative thinking. To measure both the competencies needed an integrated assessment instrument which able to measure the students’ achievement effectively and efficiently. Integrated assessment is an interdisciplinary process in combining, interpreting, communicating knowledge and abilities of students from a variety of sources. In summary, if the integrated assessment is done effectively by utilizing the data collection, analysis, and management of the various actions that are integrated into the teaching process, it will improve the students’ analytical thinking and science process skills.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze two parallel processes in the Israeli educational system: first, the idea of school autonomy, exploring its origins and its pedagogical implications and effectiveness; and second, the development of the progressive education evident mainly in the cognitive domain of twenty-first century skills (21st CS), focussing on fostering “deep knowledge” and children’s thinking skills. The manuscript explores the various “waves” of progressive pedagogies that have taken place in the Israeli school system over the years, describing and analyzing the processes that characterize them. Design/methodology/approach Based on a historical perspective, the paper describes chronologically the main developments related to school autonomy and 21st CS policy initiatives, based on a literature review and analysis of policy documents. Findings The review indicates that the Israeli educational system is still caught in the “centralization trap,” inhibiting major changes in the patterns of central control and degrees of freedom granted to school-level educators. As for school pedagogy, it is evident that most of the changes in pedagogy suggested by the numerous policy documents over the years have not resulted in sustainable, system-wide change. In both issues a large disparity is evident between declarations about innovative pedagogies and school autonomy and their actual implementation. Originality/value The review reflects the idiosyncratic articulation of policy plans conducted by the Ministry of Education, producing discrepancies and incongruences at the school level. Some implications of the “declarative culture” created are further discussed.
