development, expert validation, prototype try out, and final draft of “Nursing Assistant
Project”. The explanation of each will be discussed as follows.
a. Prototype Development
1 Purpose of Prototyping
Considering to the need analysis, the researcher was challenged to develop a Supplementary Project Book using Project-based Learning
approach. The aim of the developing a Supplementary Project Book is to create a meaningful and productive classroom activity of teaching and
learning in nursing class. Hopefully, the product of this research could help the teachers vary their teaching material that a
ctivates students‟ motivation in learning which could positively affect the learning output.
The prototype is to be an aid of minimizing the weaknesses and to make a new book to be more beneficial for teaching and learning. The
prototyping is intentionally to prepare ideal book that: 1
Guides classroom activities 2
Provides exercises or practices under Project-based Learning approach
3 Gives scaffolding materials as an introduction of the projects and aids
of structures or vocabularies which the students will refer in completing the projects.
As mentioned above, the new prototype is expectedly a support to make a Supplementary Project Book truly beneficial for teaching and
learning in nursing class. Therefore, this prototype functions as to help both teacher and students in teaching and learning process.
2 Benefits of Prototyping
The process of prototyping automatically trains the researcher to arrange a better book used for teaching learning process. Meanwhile, the
specification of new prototype expectedly gives some benefits, such as: 1
It represents an integrated English skills book which has some interactive projects to make the students active in the classroom.
2 It is an instructional project book which guides the students to make
some individual or group projects in real situation based on the topic given.
3 It has sufficient materials which appropriate with the students‟ need in
nursing field. 4
It is under Project-based Learning approach which can be a good guidance for learners to create meaningful communication when they
are in work force. 5
The supplementary English book can accompany students of nursing program to have independent learning.
3 Prototype Design
The prototype of the draft which becomes the realization of the product planning could be seen in the appendix.
b. Expert Validation
