AN ANALYSIS OF JOURNAL ASSIGNMENTS IN INTRODUCTION TO
LITERATURE CLASS BASED ON BLOOM’S TAXONOMY ORDER OF
THINKING
Pranika Sarastiti
ABSTRACT
Journal writing is believed to improve students’ critical thinking. Many
lecturers use it to enhance students’ thinking and through the journals, students’ orders
of thinking can be identified. This thesis aims to analyze the students’ orders of thinking
which are reflected through the journals. The researcher collected the students’ journals
in Introduction to Literature (InLit) class, at English Teacher Program of a private
university in Salatiga, 2014, to be analyzed descriptively. The analysis is based on
Bloom’s taxonomy which consists of six levels of intellectual behavior. From the data
analysis, it was indentified that all levels of thinking process in Bloom’s taxonomy
existed in the students’ journals. The InLit students’ journals showed not only the lower
orders of thinking process, but also the Analysis, Synthesis and Evaluation levels, which
belonged to higher orders of thinking in Bloom’s taxonomy. However, the lecturer still
needs to enhance students to have Synthesis and Evaluation levels of thinking process
because of the limited students who have reached these two levels of thinking process.
