The aim of this study is to give information about layered curriculum in detail and cover the importance of it in the learning-teaching process. Layered curriculum is composed of three layers that entail students to work step-by-step and use higher-level thinking skills. As an educator and author, Nunley developed this approach as a result of her classroom experiences with high school students. In layered curriculum, a learner is in charge of his/her own learning. In addition, students perform their learning by using different learning styles based on their own interests and needs. Layered curriculum offers tasks that provide learners the opportunity to choose activities from simple to complex, easy to difficult, centered on Bloom's taxonomy. In this study, “General Features of Layered Curriculum Evaluation in Layered Curriculum,” “Six Simple Steps for Layered Curriculum,” “Implementation of Layered Curriculum in Classroom Environment,” “Layered Curriculum and Bloom's Taxonomy,” and “Benefits of Using the Layered Curriculum in Teaching” were covered.

The Difference

Based on the merit, the uncertainty of the results, and the lack of depth of existing researches in connecting gender and cognitive level, hence, the purpose of this research is to analyze the difference of students’ mathematics ability in bloom’s taxonomy domain based on gender. This research is quantitative research with 156 students taken as sample, consisted of 81 male and 75 female students. Two-way anova employed in this study, with LSD (Least Significant Difference) and HSD (Honestly Significant Difference) as post hoc test. The results show that all assumption tests for variance analysis are fulfilled. From two-way anova test, obtained the result that Fcount > Ftable at α = 0.05 (Fcount = 10.57 dan Ftable = 2.22) which means that there is interaction between gender and students’ cognitive level. LSD test shows that at level C1, male students perform better than female groups. However, there is no difference between both groups for overall performance. HSD test also reveals that there is significant different on students’ performance in C1, C2, and C3, but not in C4, C5, and C6.

Developing our students’ English oral expression in Public Institutions is a process that needs to be carefully analyzed by teachers. It is more than selected a method, it is more than following step by step what a theory says. It is going beyond our students’ needs. It is a deeply study of what a student really can do and needs to learn. Based on a post-method pedagogy which provides teachers the ability to break down barriers to the imposition of a specific method and make the teaching process more effective, this paper proposes the application of the eclectic method for the development of the oral expression of public high school students encouraging teachers to see the teaching process from a different and modern perspective. By analyzing the principles and features of this method, this paper describes the research made on a Public Institution with students in third year. With the goal of improving each one of the principal components of the English oral expression: range, accuracy, fluency, pronunciation and coherence, there were used selected methods, techniques and strategies based upon the students’ learning styles and needs. The observation and Interview techniques were used on data collection and the parameters of Inferential and descriptive statistic were applied in order to analyze the results achieved. They showed that even though not all of the group of the students could achieve the B1 level in reference to the Common European Framework and required by the Ministry of Education, a large number of them were able to increase their English oral expression. According to this data, this paper concludes that the selection of objectives, the modern teacher‘s and student’s role, the use of different but selected methods, the linguistic input activation and the contextualization had a significant impact on learners´ learning.

And Gender

The purpose of this study was to describe the creative thinking skills of junior high school students based on mathematics anxiety and gender. Aspects of creative thinking skills used in this study are fluency, flexibility, and novelty. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The instruments used were open-ended questions consisting of algebra and geometry questions, mathematics anxiety questionnaires, and interview guidelines. The study was conducted in class IX E of SMPI Al Azhar 12 Rawamangun Jakarta. The subject of this study consisted of four students, they are male student with low mathematics anxiety, female student with low mathematics anxiety, male student with medium mathematics anxiety, and female student with medium mathematics anxiety. The results of the mathematics anxiety questionnaire showed that none of the students in class IX E had high math anxiety. There are differences in the fulfillment of aspects of creative thinking in terms of differences in mathematics anxiety and gender levels. Students with low math anxiety fulfill aspects of fluency, flexibility, and novelty in algebra and geometry questions. Students with medium math anxiety fulfill aspects of fluency and flexibility both in algebra and geometry questions. Female students fulfill aspects of fluency, flexibility, and novelty both in algebra and geometry questions. Male students fulfill aspects of fluency and flexibility in algebra questions, while in geometry questions the aspects that are fulfilled are fluency, flexibility, and novelty.

Bloom’S Taxonomy

This study is aimed at (1) analyzing reading exercises based Bloom’s taxonomy for VIII grade in English on Sky textbook. (2) Found the distribution of the lower and higher order thinking skill in reading exercises. (3) To reason for level reading exercises. After analyzed the data, the result of the data analysis also infers that the six levels of Bloom’s taxonomy in reading exercises weren’t applied totally. The creating skill doesn’t have distribution in reading exercise, and the understanding – remembering level more dominant than another levels. The distribution of the higher order thinking level was lower than the lower order thinking level and the six levels are not appropriate with the proportion for each level of education based Bloom’s taxonomy, such as the distribution of the creating level in the reading exercise must be a concern because no question that belong to the creating level. It was concluded that reading exercises in English on Sky textbook cannot improve students' critical thinking skills for VIII grade.

Creative Thinking Ability

This study aims to determine the ability of creative thinking high school students in physics learning, know the form of assessment of creative thinking abilities. The study was conducted at SMAN 6 Yogyakrata. This type of research is a survey with a cross-sectional method that is a survey conducted once and at a time. The subjects were the principals, teachers of physics from SMAN 6 Yogyakrata and 30 grade XI students. observations, interviews, and questionnaires were used as data collection techniques. The data analysis method used was the quantitative-qualitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that the creative thinking ability of class XI MIA 1 students at SMAN 6 Yogyakarta can be said to be in the average and quite good category, although there are some students whose level of creative thinking ability is low. In addition, the form of assessment used by physics teachers has not been effective and accurate enough in assessing students 'creative thinking abilities. So it is recommended to use The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) in physics learning because it has been proven to be accurate in assessing students' creative thinking abilities.
