1. Research and Development Method
Borg and Gall 1983 define research and development RD as “a
process used to develop and validate educational products ” p. 772. The method
is used to produce educational products that are ready for operational use in the learning and teaching process at school. The process is not only limited in
designing textbooks but also involves media, teaching methods, strategies, workbooks, and supplementary materials. As it is mentioned by Borg and Gall
1983, that: The
term „products‟ include not only material objects, such as textbook, instructional films, and so forth, but are also intended to refer to
established procedures and processes, such as a method of teaching or a method of organizing instruction p. 772.
