SKRIPSI DEVELOPING SUPPLEMENTARY LEARNING MATERIAL FOR READING COMPREHENSION BASED ON JATAKA FOLKLORE AT SMP NEGERI 1 TEGALREJO
Reading comprehension is one of the fundamental skills necessary for learning
English. However, many students still struggle to understand the reading material.
These difficulties stem from several factors, such as limited vocabulary, a lack of
supportive learning media, the use of textbooks difficult to understand, and the
suboptimal integration of local wisdom into English language learning.
Based on these issues, this study aims to identify the needs of teachers and students
regarding the development of supplementary learning materials, to develop and
design supplementary textbooks based on local wisdom using Jataka stories, and
to evaluate the feasibility of the developed product. The focus of this study is to
produce teaching materials that can be used in the teaching of narrative texts to
eighth-grade junior high school students.
Regarding the objectives of this study, a Design-Based Research (DBR) model was
employed, consisting of three stages: preliminary research, development and
prototyping, and evaluation. The participants in this study were eighth-grade
students and an English teacher at SMP Negeri 1 Tegalrejo. Data were collected
through questionnaires, interviews, documentation, expert validation sheets, and
user evaluation surveys. The data were analyzed using both descriptive qualitative
and quantitative analysis techniques.
The preliminary research revealed that students need supplementary learning
materials to help improve their vocabulary mastery, thereby enhancing their
reading comprehension skills, particularly through the use of folklore. The results
of the needs analysis showed that the developed supplementary textbook includes
Jataka stories, vocabulary lists, and reading exercises designed to improve reading
comprehension. The feasibility test results indicate that the developed product falls
into the “very feasible” category, with a score of 86.5% based on subject-matter
expert validation and 81.7% based on media expert validation. Additionally, user
evaluation results show very positive responses from teachers and students, with
approval rates of 84% and 87%, respectively.
The results of the study indicate that supplementary textbooks based on local
wisdom that incorporate Jataka stories are relevant to the needs of teachers and
students in learning narrative texts. The supplementary learning materials
developed can help improve reading comprehension skills while also providing an
alternative learning resource for English language learning in eighth-grade junior
high school.
