The study aimed at identifying and analyzing the types and levels of WH-question in two English Textbooks namely, English in Mind Textbook (EIM) and Bright An English Textbook (BAE) for eighth grade junior high school. The objective of the analysis was to evaluate the WH –questions in the light of the Bloom’s New Taxonomy (1956) Taxonomy learning objectives ( Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, Creating).Content analysis was used to conducted all the WH-questions in the two textbooks. All the WH-questions  were collected, listed, and analyzed according to Bloom’s New Taxonomy. The result from a total of 140 questions (70 questions in EIM and 70 questions in BAE) showed that most of the questions were align with remembering , understanding, and applying as the three lower – level categories, while analyzing, evaluating, and creating as the three higher-level categories constitude the lowest frequency in the two textbooks.Another result also for the proportion of higher-order questions in both Textbook showed that EIM received higher distribution while BAE constitute the highest distribution on lower-order questions. The result indicate that the textbooks failed to engage learners in the questions requiring higher levels  of cognitive learning objectives.In the light of the results, the researcher suggested to modified the questions in the textbooks to cover the six levels of Bloom’s new Taxonomy and to train teachers and author of textbook to use and write question following the Bloom’s new Taxonomy. Keywords : Bloom’s New Taxonomy, WH-questions, content analysis, English Textbook

Second language acquisition of English wh-questions is complicated by asymmetries among different wh-question types. In a study of the wh-interrogative production of Japanese junior high school (JHS) learners, Hasebe and Maki (2014) found a disordinal interaction between wh-question type and English proficiency level. They also noted an unexplained tendency for more advanced learners to over-insert do. Connecting these findings, the present investigation hypothesized greater learner exposure to wh-questions with do at higher levels of study, which was evaluated by comparing the proportions of relevant wh-question types across the three grade levels of three popular ministry-approved JHS English textbooks. Although failing to support the research hypothesis, the results revealed a scarcity of noncopular main verb wh-subject questions. Given retrograde development of this particular question type, these findings suggest a possible need to explicitly sensitize learners to the distinctions between various wh-question types as well as provide additional implicit exposure to them. 第二言語習得研究では、英語のwh疑問文の種類によって習得速度に違いがあることが報告されている。Hasebe ＆ Maki（2014）による日本人中学生を対象にした調査では、wh疑問文の種類と英語の上達度の間に非順序的な交互作用があることに加えて、初級の学習者に比べ、中上級の学習者は主語疑問文でdo挿入を過剰に適用する傾向があることが分かった。この結果をもとに、中上級の学習者はdo挿入があるwh疑問文のインプットを、初級者よりも多く受けていると考え、日本の中学校で使用されている教科書に掲載されていた疑問文の例を調査した。その結果、インプットの量が影響しているという仮説は支持されなかったが、全体として主語疑問文の数が少ないことが分かった。Hasebeらで観察された学習者の主語疑問文の習得に対し、本研究の結果は、学校教育の場において主語疑問文のインプットを増やすことや、疑問文の種類の違いを明示的に指導する必要性があることを示唆している。

This research is motivated by the lack of mathematics teaching materials that can make students learn on their own. The teaching material can be created by teachers as they are the ones who possess the knowledge about their students’ characteristics. Further, learning materials are a set of materials (information, tools, or texts) that can aid teachers and students to carry out the learning process. The two-variable linear equation system (SPLDV) is one of the mathematics materials taught to eighth-grade students of junior high school; it contains problems related to daily life. However, it is found that this material is still difficult to master by most students. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the SPLDV teaching materials that can help students learn and solve problems as well as be used as examples by teachers in developing other materials. This research aimed to make problem-based SPLDV teaching materials. The research method refers to the Four-D Model by Thiagarajan, Semmel, and Semmel (1974). It consisted of defining, designing, developing, and disseminating. The results showed that problem-based SPLDV teaching materials could be used in learning activities as the students and the teachers had shown their positive responses after going through expert assessments. This study also suggested that the teachers use this teaching material and adopt teaching materials for other similar materials.
