FINDINGS FINDING AND DISCUSSION

C1: Remembering C3: Applying C5: Evaluating C2: Understanding C4: Analyzing C6: Creating The data were analyzed per unit. This study covers 14 unit, 3 my dossier, and 3 story. There are 395 activities analyzed. The activities spread over 132 33.4 remembering, 131 33.2 understanding, 114 28.9 applying, 17 4.3 analyzing, 1 0.25 evaluating, and 10.25 creating. Table 4.1 indicates the Workbook Can Do 2 do not distribute the activity into complete cognitive level in each unit. There is a dominant dimension activity of the cognitive of the Revised Bloom Taxonomy in each unit in the workbook Can Do 2. This finding implies that the number of activities that call for the cognitive level of remembering is the highest aspect in this workbook with percentage 33.4 . The frequency of remembering is 132 of 395 activities. The activities that work on the cognitive level of understanding rank second with percentage 33 and the frequency is 130 0f 395 activities. This level is one step beyond the simple remembering of material. The third most frequency is applying with 114 activities or 28.9 . And the lowest number cognitive aspect in this workbook are evaluating and creating. They have same frequencies and percentage that only have 1 of 382 activities with percentages 0.25 . There is no evaluating activity except in the unit 14. And the creating activity is only in my dossier 3. Whereas the analyzing is more, there are 17 activities with percentage 4.3 .

And the total number of activities that relate to low order thinking reach to 94.94 with the frequency 375 of 395 activities. Evaluating, creating, and analyzing that include the high order thinking are only having 5.06 or 20 activities out of to 395.

B. DISCUSSION

Based on the data analysis toward workbook Can Do 2, there is a tendency that the most dominant dimensions of the cognitive of Revised Bloom Taxonomy in the workbook is remembering. It means recalling previously taught material is dominant in teaching learning process in this workbook. It can be seen from the analysis result table that has shown 132 activities of 395 activities are remembering. It appeared most frequently, 33.4 activities. Understanding level occupies the second position after remembering. 130 of 395 activities or 33 are included to remembering. It showed that there are 33 activities supposed the student to grasp the meaning of material, translate the material, and interpret the material form one form to another. This is the lowest level of the material comprehension of the student. There are 114 activities that included to applying in the workbook Can Do 2. It means 28.9 activities supposed student to use and implement their knowledge in familiar task, to apply their knowledge in appropriate situations, and to execute the theories. Whereas there are only few activities that relate to analyzing level, it is only 17 of 395 with percentage 4.3 . Its total number is underneath applying. Cognitive dimensions that are not frequently found are evaluating with one activity and creating with one activity. They are the lowest number of cognitive aspect in the workbook Can Do 2 with percentage 0.25 in each. Although these levels implemented in this book, the amount of them is not sufficient. The limited numbers of the three aspects; analyzing, evaluating, and creating, show the uneven activities distribution into complete cognitive aspects. They are varied in each unit. The result implies that the author of Can Do 2 placed emphasis on the lower thinking process that the most total number is remembering aspect. This number is contradicting with the high order thinking. There are so few high orders thinking in this workbook Can Do 2. It is not give student to develop their thinking skill. As demonstrated of the data, the workbook of Can Do 2 does not appropriate with the cognitive dimension theory of Bloom Taxonomy. It didn’t cover the entire cognitive dimension, especially in the three high order thinking, analyzing, evaluating, and creating. They are only 5.6 activities. s 41

CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

In this chapter, the writer attempts to discuss the conclusion of the general result and some suggestions for students and teachers, the publishers, and workbook s’ authors.

A. CONCLUSION

Workbook plays an important role in teaching learning process. It greatly influences the learning outcome of students. This study attempted to discover the appropriateness of workbook Can Do 2 with the cognitive dimension of Revised Bloom Taxonomy and the dominant aspect of the cognitive of revised bloom taxonomy. The activities that were defined as units for analysis were instructional verbs and questioning stem. They are collected, listed, and analyzed according to cognitive dimensions of Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy. Based on the data analysis, the conclusion of this study is the workbook does not appropriate with Revised Bloom Taxonomy. It did not cover the entire cognitive dimension of the Revised Bloom Taxonomy in each unit. It shows there are uneven activities distributions in the six level of cognitive dimension. The amount of them is not sufficient. Regarding the cognitive dimensions in the workbook, the author of Can Do 2 placed emphasis on the lower thinking processes of remembering. However the total number of remembering is not too different with understanding and applying. They are being spread evenly in each dimension level. Especially in applying, it has great quantities activities which reach 29 from entire activities. It means the authors have given more attention to understanding and applying too, although they are underneath remembering. Due to this reason, this book is proper for the student in the 8 th grade. It is sufficient to achieve the goals of the teaching and learning process in this grade, that student could be applying, using, and implementing the knowledge. On the other
