Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This research aims to develop supplementary teaching materials for reading comprehension of recount texts based on local wisdom for grade VIII students at SMPN 10 Bolaang Mongondow Utara. The Merdeka Curriculum emphasizes contextual learning, yet existing materials remain misaligned with students' characteristics and needs. To identify students’ needs, this study adopts Hutchinson and Waters' (1987) theory. The research employs the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, encompassing analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. However, this study only progresses up to the implementation stage. Data collection methods include observation, questionnaires, document analysis, and expert validation. The product was designed based on questionnaire results, which identified student’s target and learning needs. To ensure feasibility, the material was validated by two experts: an English teacher in North Bolaang Mongondow and a lecturer experienced in book and teaching material development. The validation results yielded a feasibility score of 91%, categorizing the materials as “Very Feasible.” Following validation, the product was implemented with small groups (10 students) and large groups (21 students). The results indicated that 100% of students found the materials comprehensible and engaging. This study contributes to the development of more relevant and contextualized teaching materials for students in North Bolaang Mongondow, enhancing their ability to learn and comprehend recount texts. Keywords: teaching materials, reading comprehension, local wisdom, Merdeka Curriculum, teaching material development.
