A. Workbook Evaluation

This research used some checklists to evaluate Pakar workbook that was used in SMP N 2 Mlati Sleman, Yogyakarta. The checklists were adapted from the criteria proposed by some experts. There were nine aspects evaluated in this research. Those nine aspects were classified into five major aspects. The first aspect was the appearance which consists of two aspect, namely general appearance, and design, illustration, and organization. The second aspect was the content which consists of four aspects, namely skills, topics, objectives, and tasks. The third aspect was language content, while the fourth was instructions. Then, the last aspect was teachability and flexibility. As stated in Chapter I, the researcher analyzed all the lessons in Pakar workbook. There were three lessons in the workbook. Those three lessons were evaluated with the assistance of the checklists. In the Chapter III, the researcher had already explicated the detail of the checklists. The checklist consisted of five columns. The third and fourth columns were the checkmark place that indicate the fulfilled criteria. The fulfilled criterion scored 1 point, while unfulfilled criterion got 0 point. The result of the calculation was used to indicate whether the aspect 37 fulfilled or unfulfilled. An aspect on the checklist will be considered as fulfilled one if the sum of the criteria of the aspect reaches more than a half of the criteria on every aspect. However, since there were three lessons which were evaluated, the aspect will be considered as fulfill if two of the three lessons fulfill the aspect. Thus, if the sum of the criteria on the aspect did not reach more than a half it was considered as unfulfilled. Table 4.1 presents the material evaluation’s summary.
