The research aims at developing culture-based English instructional materials (henceforth, CBEIM) for grade VII of Junior High School students and reveal its final product representation in terms of its effectiveness. The research design was a research and development. The procedure of product development consisted of conducting needs analysis, designing course grids, developing the first draft, implementing the final draft, and evaluating the final product. The product implementation consisted of the 1st tryout involving 4 students from Yogyakarta State Junior High School (henceforth, Y-SJHS) 10, the 2nd tryout involving 34 students from Y-SJHS 7, and there were 68 students involved in the 3rd tryout. They were from Y-SJHS 9 and Y-SJHS 10. The data were collected by using evaluation sheets, an English achievement test, questionnaire to measure students’ level of internalization and actualization toward culture values, and questionnaires for teachers’ responses. The data were analyzed by t-test using paired and independent sample with the gain score. The research finding reveals 1) based on the content expert validation, CBEIM was very good by the aspect of content, language, learning, culture, presentation, and graphical design, whereas based on the graphical design expert, CBEIM was good. 2) Having been implemented, the final product representation was proven to be effective. The students in the experiment classes got a higher improvement than those in the control classes. The statistical calculation of independent samples test with gain score of the English test from the two groups shows the t values of 2.931 with the p = 0.004 < 0.05, while the t-test for equality of means of culture values, t value reached 2.524 and its significance of 2-tailed reached p = 0.037 < 0.05, alpha value (α=0.05). Since the gain score is smaller than 0.05, CBEIM demonstrates that it can show a significant difference between the experiment and control classes in encouraging students to internalize and actualize the culture values.

Guided Discovery

The reality found in school showed that the teaching and learning experiences were dominated by the use of the Direct Instruction model and there were no activities to facilitate students to think criticaly. Thus, it is necessary to develop  guided discovery learning materials to overcome it. The one group pretest-posttest design was used as a the research design involving 30 Junior High School students. The data were analyzed through descriptive qualitative technique. The results showed that students’ activities were consistent with each stage of the guided discovery learning, students’ responses were good, and N-gain test informed that the students’ learning outcome and their  capability  to use  critical  thinking  skills  increased.  Based  on  those  findings,  it  can  be  concluded  that  the  guided  discovery instructional materials were effective to facilitate Junior High School students by think critically.Kenyataan di sekolah metode pembelajaran yang digunakan lebih berorientasi pada Direct Instruction dan belum  tersedia    perangkat  pembelajaran yang  dapat  melatih  keterampilan  berpikir  kritis  siswa  sehingga  perlu dikembangkan pembelajaran yang berorientasi pada penemuan terbimbing untuk melatihkan keterampilan berpikir kritis kepada siswa SMP. Rancangan penelitian one group pretest-posttest design dengan subyek 30 orang siswa SMP. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan aktivitas siswa sesuai dengan tahapan penemuan terbimbing, respon siswa baik, uji N Gain menunjukkan peningkatan hasil belajar dan kemampuan berpikir kritis serta pembelajaran penemuan terbimbing, pokok bahasan peran manusia dalam pengelolaan lingkungan efektif untuk melatihkan keterampilan berpikir kritis siswa SMP.

Biology Instruction

The objectives of this research were: 1) to develop appropriate biology instruction materials for the pilot international standard junior high school students, and  2)  to describe the implementation results of the developed biology instruction materials for the pilot international standard junior high school students.  Instructional materials consisted of the lesson plans, the student’s worksheet, the student’s book and the achievement test were developed by implementing reciprocal teaching approach. Research subject for the first implementation of  the developed biology instruction materials was twelve students and the second implementation was  twenty-three students of The Pilot International Standard Junior High School 1 Ngoro Mojokerto. Research Design for the implementation was one group pretest-postest design. The instructional materials had been validated and the results showed that  the instructional materials were appropriate to be implemented.  Observations were made during the implementation of the teaching and learning materials and the results showed that the teaching learning activities were consistent with the instructional implementation plans.  The implementation results showed that all of the students involved were able to meet the minimum competency standard prescribed by the school.  Students activities were dominated by pointing out  important conceps of the text  and asking questions. Most of the students gave positif respons to the instructional process.  So, it could be concluded the developed biology instruction materials for the pilot international standard junior high school students by implementing reciprocal teaching approach for the topic human breathing system were effective to achieve the prescribed competency.Penelitian ini bertujuan: 1) mengembangkan perangkat pembelajaran biologi SMP RSBI yang layak untuk digunakan dalam pembelajaran, dan 2) mendeskripsikan hasil penerapan perangkat pembelajaran biologi SMP RSBI.  Perangkat pembelajaran dikembangkan dengan  berorientasi pendekatan reciprocal teaching  pada materi sistem pernapasan manusia. Subyek penelitian adalah perangkat pembelajaran yang terdiri dari rencana pelaksanaan pembelajaran, buku ajar, lembar kegiatan siswa dan tes hasil belajar.  Subyek penelitian pada tahap ujicoba satu  adalah 12 siswa dan ujicoba dua adalah 23 siswa SMPN 1 Ngoro Mojokerto.  Penerapan perangkat pembelajaran pada saat ujicoba, menggunakan desain penelitian one group pretest-posttest design.  Hasil validasi menunjukkan bahwa perangkat pembelajaran yang dikembangkan adalah layak untuk  digunakan dalam pembelajaran. Tingkat kesulitan dan keterbacaan buku ajar dan lembar kegiatan siswa berkategori sedang dan tepat untuk pembelajaran. Hasil penerapan perangkat pembelajaran menunjukkan bahwa keterlaksanaan pembelajaran berkategori baik, aktivitas siswa selama pembelajaran didominasi oleh aktivitas menyampaikan konsep penting suatu bacaan dan mengajukan pertanyaan.  Hasil belajar siswa menunjukkan bahwa semua siswa tuntas pada ujicoba satu dan dua. Sebagian besar siswa  memberikan respon yang positif terhadap  pembelajaran. Disimpulkan bahwa pengembangan perangkat pembelajaran biologi SMP RSBI berorientasi pendekatan  reciprocal teaching pada materi sistem pernapasan manusia, efektif meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa.
