2 Presentation Outline Chapter 1 : Introduction Chapter 2 : Literature Review Chapter 3 : Research Methodology Chapter 4 : Results Chapter 5 : Conclusions and Recommendation
3 1.1 Background of Study Chapter 1 : Introduction The Cambodian education system has been reformed to meet the need of economic and social development. Aims of curriculum policy (MoEYS, 2004) which states that when students leave school they should have the capacity to manage and take responsibility for their own action, decisions making and judgment. In recent years, the promotion of active and critical learning was a hot topic in educational literature.
4 Critical thinking play an important role in a person s learning and their everyday life. They added that textbooks were one the richest educational which should be written in such a way that benefits learners of development of analyzing, evaluating and creating (Razmjoo & Kazemporfard, 2010). After students finished school they will hopefully have obtained the knowledge, skills, attitudes and the soft skills that are required by employers. 10-Jun-14 4
5 1.2 Problem Statement MoEYS policy describes the purpose of Cambodian secondary and high schools as being to produce students who are critical and analytical thinkers. Textbooks are the core of what is taught in state schools have not been analyzed.
6 As Tan (1999) and CAMFEBA (2008) argued that the workforce will require creative and critical thinkers. Through observation, students could only answer the questions whose answers are in the line rather than those that between the line.
7 1.3 Research Question 1. Which levels of thinking levels of Bloom s revised taxonomy were evident in the grade 7-9 Cambodian biology textbooks? 2. How comparable is the level of thinking provided in the Cambodian biology textbook grade 11 to that in an Australian grade 11 textbook? 3. How closely is the content of the Cambodian biology textbooks aligned with aims of the MoEYS curriculum policy? 10-Jun-14 7
8 1.4 Significance of Study MoEYS as part of any review that may occur of the curriculum in use in schools. To help teachers or textbook developer in selecting appropriate textbooks and learning materials. To share the strategy in textbook analysis across subject areas and grade levels.
9 Chapter 2 : Literature Review 2.1 The Role of School Textbooks Through review of literature, textbooks play a crucial role in developing countries as defining the curriculum assisting teachers especially developing students autonomous learning, serving as critical vehicles for getting knowledge and students self-directed learning.
10 2.1 Bloom s Taxonomy In 1956, Bloom s taxonomy were widely known as a framework sought to described different types of thinking (Anderson, 2002). There are 3 domains of Taxonomy: cognitive, affective and psychomotor domain. Bloom s Taxonomy provided the six categories in the cognitive domains (Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis and Evaluation)
11 Bloom s Revised Taxonomy (RBT) The researcher claimed that this new taxonomy reflected a more active form of thinking and was perhaps more accurate than the original taxonomy. There are six levels of the cognitive dimension: remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate and create.
12 Figure 1 The names of six major categories were changed from noun (Bloom s Taxonomy) to verb forms (RBT)
13 Chapter 3: Methodology Frequency of each level of thinking in Cambodian biology textbooks grade 7-9 were calculate. Compare the level of thinking in Cambodian and Australian biology textbook grade Jun-14 13
14 3.1 Textbook Cambodian Biology Textbook Grade 7-9 and 11 biology textbooks were published by the MoEYS in 2010 (grade 7 &8), in 2011 (grade 9), and in 2009 (Grade 11). Grade 7-9 textbooks combine 4 science subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Earth-Science.
15 Australian Biology Textbook Each grade 7-10 textbook was combined into Science Subject not separate into part as those of Cambodia. Grade 11 biology textbook were published in 2010 with 30 topics.
16 Researcher chose the grade 7-9 Cambodian biology textbook to examine the thinking level. Thus, researcher can not compare grade 7-9 Cambodian biology textbooks with grade 7-10 Australian biology textbooks. Grade 12 Australian biology textbook (Biology sace 2), questions at the end of each unit are not designed all the level of thinking. Purposive Sampling was used to select only one Cambodian and one Australian biology textbook (grade 11) to examine and compare the level of thinking.
17 3.2 Data Analysis The researcher reviewed all the questions in the units/topics under investigations and took notes of key terms compare to those in six level of Bloom s revised taxonomy. The questions in grade 7-9 and 11 biology textbooks were analyzed to identify the frequency of each thinking level. After analyzed the questions into the key terms based on level 1 to 6 of Bloom s revised taxonomy, frequency and percentage of each type of questions were computed.

Decide which of these diagrams best represents the fluid-mosaic model. Justify. Investigation 10. Design an experiment to test the effect of concentration on the rate of diffusion.
25 Chapter 5: Conclusion and Recommendation 5.1 Conclusion From the findings of this study, it is apparent that these biology textbook cannot develop students critical thinking skills. Poor critical thinking will affect students when they go to university, enter their workplace and live in society.
26 5.2 Recommendation Textbooks used as a tool for developing students thinking thus textbooks need changing. Textbook developers need revising immediately by integrate the high level of Bloom s. All teachers need to be trained with critical thinking skill which could improve the way of teaching.
