Abstract

The teaching of Indonesian language writing skills often fails to align with students’ sociocultural contexts, resulting in low motivation and poor learning outcomes. The application of the Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) approach in instructional materials can serve as a solution to bridge the gap between the formal curriculum and students’ cultural experiences. This study aims to assess the feasibility of CRT-based instructional materials for writing popular science articles for eighth-grade junior high school students, taking into account both content feasibility and instructional feasibility. This study adopts the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), with the focus of this report on the Development stage (Feasibility Assessment). Data were gathered through validation tools comprising a checklist-based questionnaire and a Likert scale, which were completed by Content Experts and Instructional Experts. Following the feasibility assessment, the proposed instructional materials were classified as Highly Feasible for use in the learning process. The mean validation score assigned by the Content Experts was 97, which falls under the “Highly Appropriate” category, whereas the Instructional Experts’ validation score was 85, also categorized as Highly Appropriate. The implications of this study are that CRT-based instructional materials that have been tested for appropriateness can serve as effective and relevant learning resources, thereby enhancing students’ understanding of the material while fostering their appreciation for local culture in an academic context.

Penilaian Kelayakan Bahan Ajar untuk Penulisan Artikel Ilmiah Populer Berbasis Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT)

Pengajaran keterampilan menulis bahasa Indonesia sering gagal selaras dengan konteks sosial budaya siswa, sehingga mengakibatkan motivasi rendah dan hasil belajar yang buruk. Penerapan pendekatan Pengajaran Responsif Budaya (Culturally Responsive Teaching/CRT) dalam materi pembelajaran dapat menjadi solusi untuk menjembatani kesenjangan antara kurikulum formal dan pengalaman budaya siswa. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menilai kelayakan materi pembelajaran berbasis CRT untuk menulis artikel sains populer bagi siswa kelas 8 SMP, dengan mempertimbangkan kelayakan konten dan kelayakan instruksional. Studi ini mengadopsi metode Penelitian dan Pengembangan (R&D) menggunakan model ADDIE (Analisis, Desain, Pengembangan, Implementasi, Evaluasi), dengan fokus laporan ini pada tahap Pengembangan (Penilaian Kelayakan). Data dikumpulkan melalui alat validasi yang terdiri dari kuesioner berbasis checklist dan skala Likert, yang diisi oleh Pakar Konten dan Pakar Instruksional. Setelah penilaian kelayakan, materi pembelajaran yang diusulkan diklasifikasikan sebagai Sangat Layak untuk digunakan dalam proses pembelajaran. Skor validasi rata-rata yang diberikan oleh Pakar Konten adalah 97, yang termasuk dalam kategori “Sangat Sesuai”, sedangkan skor validasi Pakar Instruksional adalah 85, juga dikategorikan sebagai Sangat Sesuai. Implikasi dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa materi pembelajaran berbasis CRT yang telah diuji kesesuaiannya dapat berfungsi sebagai sumber belajar yang efektif dan relevan, sehingga meningkatkan pemahaman siswa terhadap materi sekaligus menumbuhkan apresiasi mereka terhadap budaya lokal dalam konteks akademik.
