The Development of Supplementary Book Based on Direct Reading-Thinking Activities to Increase the Intensive Reading Learning Outcomes

摘要

The aim of this research is to develop a supplementary book based on Direct Reading - Thinking Activities (DRTA) to increase the intensive reading learning outcomes of the fourth-grade elementary school. This research refers to the four-D model that consists of defining, designing, developing, and disseminating. However, this research only goes to the development stage without dissemination stage because it is only used in the trial class. The data analysis was done by using a quantitative-qualitative combination description technique sequentially. The development results include the learning needs maps, and the draft book from designing stage, and the final model of the supplementary book from developing stage. The quality of the supplementary book was assessed from the materials, language, presentation, and charts component. Each component is categorized as very feasible. The observation results of teacher's activities, teacher's response, students' activities, and students' responses are very good. The development of supplementary book based on DRTA can increase the intensive reading learning outcomes in fourth-grade students of elementary school.
