Abstract

Development is one of the steps toward change, especially development in the field of education. Existing learning processes require extensive development, starting from the development of methods, learning objectives, to learning tools. The development of learning media in this research focuses on the development of print-based modules.

The purpose of this research is to develop the procedures for print module development, analyze the feasibility of the print module development, and assess the effectiveness of the print module development for the Aqidah Akhlak subject for Grade VII Madrasah Tsanawiyah under the 2013 Curriculum (K13) based on the Borg and Gall model integrated with the Rowntree model. This research is a Research and Development (RnD) study aimed at developing a learning model using print modules for the 2013 Curriculum (K13) and improving learning outcomes in the Aqidah Akhlak subject at MTs. Ar-Rozzaq.

The research uses a combined development model from Borg and Gall and Rowntree. The development process involves 10 steps from the Borg and Gall model and 3 steps from the Rowntree model. Feasibility tests indicate that the developed print module is highly suitable for use. The feasibility tests were conducted by a subject matter expert with a score of 91%, an instructional design expert with a score of 87.14%, a media expert with a score of 100%, teacher users with a score of 91.66%, and student users with a score of 94.75%. Overall, this print module received a "highly suitable" category. Further research is highly recommended due to several shortcomings in this study, such as the curriculum model changes, the limited use of tested instruments, and the product's lack of illustrative images in the material.
