5. Expert Judgement
The next step after developing the materials is asking an expert to evaluate the first draft of the materials. This step is usually called as expert judgement where
the expert gives his evaluation and validates the materials whether they are already appropriate enough or not. The expert judgment was conducted by distributing
questionnaires adapted from Standard of Course Book Assessment for Vocational High Schools by BSNP. The questionnaires consist of four aspects related to
materials evaluation:
content appropriateness,
language appropriateness,
presentation appropriateness and layout appropriateness. The four aspects are evaluated through Likert-scales with the range of four options: Strongly Agree,
Agree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree. The questionnaire then distributed to an expert who is credible and capable
in evaluating materials. The expert is a Doctor and is a permanent lecturer of English Education Department of Yogyakarta State University. Considering the
experience of the expert, the result of the materials evaluation is considered reliable and valid.
The result of materials evaluation is presented in descriptive statistics, in which the answers from the expert are characterized into numerically coded
questions Brown, 2001. The following explanations describe the result of expert judgement and the description of revision.
