A Touch of Culture in Learning: Teaching Materials My Food is Healthy and Nutritious for Elementary School

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This research aims to design teaching materials grounded in local wisdom and to evaluate the feasibility of these materials for the elementary/MI level, specifically focusing on Theme 9 "My Food is Healthy and Nutritious" and Subtheme 1 "My Food is Healthy and Nutritious."
 Methodology: The research employed the Research and Development (R&D) method utilizing the ADDIE model. The participants included one class teacher and two lecturers who provided feedback through validation questionnaires and teacher response questionnaires.
 Main Findings: The findings indicate that the responses from both lecturers regarding the development of teaching materials based on local wisdom were valid, with lecturer II's responses being highly valid. The teacher's feedback also confirmed the high validity of the teaching materials developed. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the designed teaching materials are suitable and effective for use in learning activities.
 Novelty/Originality of this study: This research represents a significant advancement in the design of teaching materials by creatively integrating local wisdom to enhance the understanding of Class IV SD/MI students about health and nutrition through Theme 9 and Subtheme 1. Adopting an innovative design approach, this study pioneers a new direction in Class IV SD/MI learning, exploring effective strategies to incorporate local wisdom into teaching materials to strengthen students' comprehension of healthy and nutritious food.

Growing with Language: Innovation in Developing Indonesian Language Learning Materials

“…The procedure for developing teaching materials consists of nine steps, namely: 1) identifying the curriculum and general learning objectives; 2) conduct learning analysis; 3) identify initial characteristics and abilities; 4) formulate specific learning objectives; 5) develop benchmark tests; 6) develop learning strategies; 7) develop and select learning materials; 8) designing and implementing formative evaluation; 9) revise learning. The product trial aims to validate the effectiveness of the product developed in the form of teaching materials for Development of Indonesian Language Teaching Materials for grade 4 elementary schools (Firza et al, 2022). Product development testing steps include: 1) preparing a test design/plan; 2) test subjects; 3) data type; 4) data collection instruments; and 5) data analysis techniques.…”
