B. Procedure of the Development

The procedure of this development refers to the R D cycle Borg Gall, 1983:775, in which there are ten major steps that we used to develop the program. The steps are 1 collecting the research and information, 2 planning, 3 developing the preliminary form of the product, 4 conducting the preliminary field testing, 5 conducting the main product revision, 6 conducting operational field testing, 7 conducting the operational product revision, 8 conducting operational field testing, 9 conducting the final product, and 10 conducting dissemination and implementation. The developer 24 adopted the ten major steps into seven steps in order to make it simpler and more practical. The steps are 1 collecting research and informationneeds survey and needs analysis, 2 planning, 3 writing the first draft, 4 evaluating the first draft expert judgment, 5 writing the second draft, 6 conducting main field testing implementation, 7 evaluating, revising, and writing the final draft. 1.
