Abstract

As a part of pedagogical competence, the teachers’ ability in constructing formative test needs to be investigated. This research is to analyze and classify EFL teachers’ formative test from two Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri (MTsN) in Bandung, Indonesia based on Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) and Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). This research employed qualitative study through the descriptive analysis of the formative test provided by the teachers. Two MTsN teachers were selected purposively based on their experiences in teaching. Moreover, document analysis, questionnaire and interview were used as the instruments to gain the data. After all of formative tests were analyzed, most items fall into category of revealing the students’ LOTS: Remembering (C1), Understanding (C2), and Applying (C3). Meanwhile, the teachers also developed formative test that belong to HOTS level: Analyzing (C4), evaluating (C5) and creating (C6); however, the number is very limited. Data from questionnaire and interview show that the teachers had actually basic knowledge about LOTS and HOTS, but they lacked practices of using them in constructing formative tests. This study is significant in informing the policy makers regarding the importance of developing teachers’ skill in constructing formative test which is based on LOTS and HOTS.
