32 collecting and analyzing of interview, observational and questionnaire data. The
product is implemented to some schools. Then, the ninth step is final product revision. Final product revision is the revision of product as suggested by
operational field-test results. The last step is dissemination and implementation. It is the report on
product at professional meetings and in journal. Work with publisher who assumes commercial distribution. Monitor distribution to provide quality control.
Those mentioned above are the ten steps of Borg and Gall R D cycle. However, this research would only apply the first to the fifth steps. It was for the
reason of efficiency in time and capacity. Here are the steps of designing the materials in this research:
1. Research and Information Collecting
Research and information collecting includes review of literature and classroom observation Borg and Gall, 1983. In this study, learner characteristics
were identified to get the sufficient information related to the participants’ needs of this study. Knowing the characteristics was useful in developing appropriate
materials. Data collection of learner characteristics was done through classroom observation, distributing questionnaire to students and teachers, and conducting
interview with some students and two teachers of SMK Negeri 1 Klaten. Besides, appropriate literature review was done from books and internet sources. It was
done to find the solution for problems met from the data collection result.

2. Planning
Planning was done to prepare the materials that would be designed. According to Borg and Gall 1983, the most important aspect of planning is the
statement of the specific objectives to be achieved by the products and precise specification of outcomes or objectives p. 779. In this study, planning included
defining the purpose and objectives of the designing materials. The skills that would be fostered were also identified. Then, the topics of the materials were also
determined. The contents and activities of the materials were selected. The development the contents and activities were suited to the objectives and topics
being stated. The objectives, skills, topics, and subject contents that would be developed in the materials were suited to the curriculum of SMK Negeri 1 Klaten,
which is KTSP or School-Based Curriculum. All of them were used to establish the contents and activities of the materials. The objectives, skills, and time
estimation of the materials that would be developed were presented in the form of syllabus.
3. Develop Preliminary Form of Product
