ANALYSIS OF SCIENCE TEXTBOOKS K-13 AND KTSP GRADE IX FROM THE RELEVANCE AND PRESENTATION ASPECTS

Abstract

The world of education is one of the means to support the continuity of an individual's learning process. The availability of textbooks is a means that can support the teaching and learning process in schools. Therefore, textbooks become a reference in teaching various concepts and theories related to the subjects being studied. The purpose of this study is to examine the suitability of the content and presentation of the material to the applicable KD, as well as to see or find the comparison of the K-13 textbooks with the KTSP. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with analyzed content as well as conducting a study of books and reference sources as well as conducting observations to collect supporting data. The instrument used in data collection was a textbook assessment sheet and the data were analyzed using a textbook feasibility scale. The results of this study were obtained which were 0.86 and 0.8 respectively with the predicate very feasible/appropriate in terms of content relevance, then 0.8 and 0.76 with the predicate very feasible/appropriate in terms of feasibility and/or the suitability of presenting science textbooks, both the K-13 and KTSP in the inheritance of grade IX grades for SMP and MTs to KD (Basic Competence) so that they can be used as a source of reference for student learning at the education unit level.
