Abstract

Since two years ago, 2013 curriculum has begun to be implemented in Indonesia which adopts scientific approach. Some stages are involved in scientific approach that are observing, questioning, experimenting, associating and communicating activities in the teaching learning process. However, some problems in the classroom might be faced by the students in questioning. This research aimed at investigating learners’ problems in questioning in the implementation of scientific approach of 2013 curriculum. Therefore, this case study was conducted by employing observation, interview and questionnaire as the data collections. The observation was conducted two times. A class of X grade students in a Vocational High School in Cimahi and its English teacher are involved as the respondents. The collected data were analyzed by using coding and categorization. Results of the data analysis showed that there are three kinds of learners’ problems in questioning. First, learners are still reluctant to ask question. Second, they are not able to ask good question. Third, they rarely use the question words-- ‘which, who and what if’. Based on these findings, it is expected to give a portrayal of scientific approach of 2013 curriculum in Indonesia EFL class. It is also suggested for the teacher to be aware of these learners’ problems.
