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.
