Table 4.2.2 shows that there are two adopted themes developed in FEW which are taken from KTSP JT. Those themes are ‘Order and Request’ and ‘Government’.
Beside that FEW is lack of one theme in KTSP JT which is ‘Direction and Location’. However there are other four themes developed in FEW, those are: ‘Health and
Hospital’, ‘Earth and Planets’, ‘Feelings’ and ‘Tourism’ Based on the themes developed in FEW, it can be said that to some extent the
FEW has developed the standard competencies of KTSP JW as claimed by the writer of FEW as follows:
‘KTSP Jawa Tengah digunakan di LKS Fokus , karena kami menganggap kurikulum ini memiliki ‘coverage’ yang lebih luas dibanding dengan
kurikulum muatan lokal lainnya’ An interview with writer A S
The adoption of KTSP in FEW is also stated in the inside cover of FEW as follows:
‘Kemampuan berpikir thinking skill dan kecakapan hidup adalah hasil akhir yang diharapkan dari Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan. FOKUS Buku
mandiri Pegangan Siswa telah disesuaikan dengan kisi-kisi KTSP… 2008:i

to one of its editors, F M, he commented as follows: “ masih ada perbedaan antara tema-tema di LKS Fokus dengan tema-tema
dari KTSP Jawa Tengah, ini terkait dengan tuntutan pasar…ada beberapa tema yang dari awal diambil dari buku Erlangga”
an interview with editor F M
In other way around, it can be said that not all the themes of FEW for class six, second semester, academic year 20072008 based on the themes of Kurikulum
KTSP Jawa Tengah as the basic competence. There are still some developed themes in FEW; it is related with the market demand oriented which depends on the
Erlangga products.
