Gradation of Javanese reading teaching materials for lower elementary grades

Abstract

Gradation of teaching materials will show the material leveling according to the developmental stages and student needs. This study aims to develop the gradation of Javanese reading for the lower elementary grades. This development research (R&D) used the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The research samples were teachers and students in grades 1 to 3 in 14 randomly selected schools. The data collection methods used document analysis, interviews, and tests. The study result was in the form of a product of Javanese reading teaching material. Using the t-test, the field trial results revealed a significant difference between grades using gradation books and non-gradation books, grade 1 had significance value of 0.017, grade 2 had 0.000, and grade 3 had 0.000. Suggestion for further research is the development of gradations of Javanese reading teaching materials for upper elementary grades.
