Percentage
The researcher counted the frequency of how many times the material appeared. The researcher then counted the frequency in form of a percentage. Briefly, the
researcher used the counting result as the data to be discussed in the next chapter. It was supported by Fraenkel and Wallen 2006, p. 490 that the end product of
the coding process must be numbers.
4. Counting the Questions which Employed Six Levels of Thinking Skills
Based on Bloom ’s Taxonomy
Based on the coding process, the researcher counted the questions of the three consecutive years of Junior High School English UN in order to obtain
information about the levels of thinking skills employed in that English UN. The researcher used the following table to help her analyze the data.

The researcher counted the frequency of the questions which represented each behavior of the levels of thinking skills. The researcher then changed the
frequency to the percentage. Finally, the counting result would be the finding which discussed in the next chapter. It was supported by Fraenkel and Wallen
2006, p. 490 that the end product of the coding process must be numbers.
F. Research Procedure
There were eight procedures which the researcher passed when conducting this research. The procedures were presented as follows.
1. Determining the Objectives
Since this research analyzed the three consecutive years of Junior High School English UN, it had an objective to describe the English UN itself. The
researcher then specified the objectives of this research based on the research problems she formulated. Therefore, this research had two objectives. First was to
describe how the three consecutive years of Junior High School English UN
