Abstract

Based on the results of international participation on TIMSS (Trend International Mathematics and Sciences Study) 2015, the achievement of Indonesian learnes on mathematics were poor. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the question items on two supplementary mathematics text books (revised edition 2016) of 2013 curricullum for XI graders and compare the analysis using 2015 TIMSS assessment framework. Qualitative study with naturalistic approach was applied. Technique of data collection was completed by applying an observation on the question items to be analyzed using Spradley, technique analysis on qualitataive study which devided all data based on some analysis stages; domain, taxonomy, and component. The analysis resulted that of 104 question items, 85 items of practice test on a book published by PT SEWU Bandung showed 3.5% of knowing cognitive domain, 4.71% applying, and 91.76% reasoning. The analysis on 19 items of practice test on a book published by PT Bumi Aksara Jakarta did not showed precentage on knowing cognitive domain on one hand, 10.53% applying, and 89.47% reasoning on the other hand. This indicated that results of the analysis on both the books were farther precentage than hoped to obtain by TIMSS that is 35% knowing, 40% applying, and 25% reasoning. Results of the question items analysis on knowing and applying cognitive domain for both the books were less precentage than reasoning cognitive domain. Thus, result of the anaysis of two text books was not yet in accordance with TIMSS. Nevertheless, the comparison of the analysis on knowing cognitive domain in a book published by PT SEWU Bandung was close to what have expected by TIMSS. Meanwhile, on applying and reasoning cognitive domain the book published by PT Bumi Aksara Jakarta was close to what have expected by TIMSS.
