EXPLORING THE TAXONOMY PHASES OF MALIK BADRI'S THINKING PROCESS AMONG STUDENTS ENROLLED IN TAUHIDIC SCIENCE EDUCATION FOR BIOLOGY SUBJECT

Abstract

The taxonomy of the Malik Badri's thinking process phase is a guide for cognitive assessment that has been proposed as an alternative to Bloom's Taxonomy. This taxonomy considers the Islamic worldview to be incorporated into the cognitive evaluation of the Muslims’ learning process. This article explored the action-oriented-thinking of a group of students who undergo a unique program inspired by Tauhidic Science concept. The structured interview protocols used in the study was Articulated Thought in Simulated Situation (ATSS) Dilema nutrisi. The ATSS- Dilema nutrisi is an instrument to gauge the goal-oriented thinking based on the Articulated Thought In Simulated Situation (ATSS) procedure. The purpose of this protocol is to explore the cognitive behaviour of ‘action-oriented thinking’ related to food and dietary practice among students. This study procedure was started with the training protocol and then followed by the ATSS- Dilema nutrisi protocol. Oral responses are transcribed and analyzed until themes are derived. The findings show that based on 108 responses to simulation-related situations, only three of the four phases of the process have been identified namely musyahadah, tadlawuk and tafakur. The highest level of thinking phase which is syuhud is not identified throughout this study.
