ABSTRACT

  Nugroho, Agung Tri. 2012. Designing Integrated English Materials Based on

  

Multiple Intelligences Theory for the Fourth Grade Students in SD Kristen 2

Sumberejo Klaten . Yogyakarta: English Language Education Study Program,

  Sanata Dharma University.

  The purpose of this study was to design integrated English materials based on the multiple intelligences theory for the fourth grade students of SD Kristen 2

  

Sumberejo Klaten. There were problems that occurred in the school. The amount of

  English books in the school was limited. Another problem was the fourth grade students had difficulties in learning English especially in vocabulary memorization. There was also a benefit of students’ non academic abilities. The English teacher of the school applied learning activities that could involve students’ multiple intelligences.

  This study was aimed at answering two problem formulations. The first problem was “How are integrated English materials based on multiple intelligence theory for the fourth grade students in SD Kristen 2 Sumberejo Klaten designed?” The second problem was “What do integrated English materials based on multiple intelligence theory for the fourth grade students in SD Kristen 2 Sumberejo Klaten look like?”

  The research method applied in this study was Research and Development (R&D). There were five major steps in the R&D method. The steps were research and information collecting, planning, developing preliminary form of product, preliminary field testing, and main product revision. In order to answer first problem, the writer adapted Kemp’s and Dick’s instructional design model. The model was conducting needs analysis; listing topics, stating goals, and stating learning objectives; listing subject content; selecting teaching-learning activity and learning sources; developing syllabus; evaluating materials; and revising materials. The writer also applied Indonesia’s Ministry of Education regulations on Panduan

Penyusunan Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Jenjang Pendidikan Dasar dan Menengah.

  In order to answer second problem, the writer applied theories such as characteristics of young learners, principles of young learners’ learning, multiple intelligences, and developing syllabus.

  The materials consisted of four units. The design is for grade four of elementary school in semester one. The writer distributed questionnaire to respondents in order to check the feasibility of the materials. The result showed that the ranges of the mean were in 3.3 – 4.3 points which mean the materials were acceptable. The writer expected this study can be a reference for teaching English in elementary school and a reference for conducting similar study.

ABSTRAK

  Nugroho, Agung Tri. 2012. Designing Integrated English Materials Based on

  

Multiple Intelligences Theory for the Fourth Grade Students in SD Kristen 2

Sumberejo Klaten . Yogyakarta: Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris,

  Universitas Sanata Dharma.

  Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menyusun materi Bahasa Inggris terintegrasi berdasarkan teori kecerdasan multiple untuk siswa kelas empat SD Kristen 2 Sumberejo Klaten. Ada permasalahan yang terjadi di sekolah. Jumlah buku Bahasa Inggris di sekolah terbatas. Masalah yang lain adalah siswa kelas empat sulit belajar Bahasa Inggris khususnya dalam mengingat-ingat kosakata. Ada juga keuntungan dari kemampuan non-akademik siswa. Guru Bahasa Inggris sekolah tersebut menerapkan aktivitas belajar yang melibatkan kecerdasan multiple siswa.

  Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjawab dua rumusan masalah. Masalah yang pertama adalah “Bagaimana materi Bahasa Inggris terintegrasi berdasarkan teori kecerdasan multiple untuk siswa kelas empat SD Kristen 2 Sumberejo Klaten disusun?” Masalah yang kedua adalah “Seperti apa materi Bahasa Inggris terintegrasi berdasarkan teori kecerdasan multiple untuk siswa kelas empat SD Kristen 2 Sumberejo Klaten?” Penelitian ini menerapkan metode Research and Development (R&D). Terdapat lima langkah utama dalam R&D. Langkah tersebut antara lain penelitian dan pengumpulan informasi, perencanaan, pengembangan produk awal, pengujian awal dan evaluasi produk. Untuk menjawab masalah pertama penulis mengadopsi model disain pembelajaran dari Kemp dan Dick yaitu melaksanakan analisa kebutuhan; merumuskan topik, tujuan umum, dan tujuan khusus pembelajaran; menyusun isi materi; memilih aktivitas belajar mengajar dan sumber belajar; mengembangkan silabus; mengevaluasi materi; dan memperbaiki materi. Penulis juga menerapakan peraturan Menteri Pendidikan Nasional Indonesia tentang Panduan Penyusunan Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Jenjang Pendidikan Dasar dan Menengah. Untuk menjawab masalah kedua penulis menerapkan teori lain seperti karakter anak-anak, prinsip belajar anak-anak, kecerdasan multiple, dan pengembangan silabus.

  Materi yang disusun terdiri dari empat unit. Materi ini digunakan untuk kelas empat sekolah dasar pada semester pertama. Penulis mendistribusikan kuosioner kepada partisipan-partisipan untuk uji kelayakan materi. Hasil uji menunjukkan bahwa nilai rataan berkisar antara 3.3 – 4.3 yang berarti materi yang disusun sudah layak. Penulis mengharapkan penelitian ini dapat digunakan sebagai referensi untuk mengajar Bahasa Inggris di sekolah dasar dan untuk melaksanakan penelitian serupa.

  Kata kunci: disain, materi Bahasa Inggris terintegrasi, kecerdasan multiple, siswa kelas empat sekolah dasar

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This chapter presents the introduction of the research. This chapter

  consists of six parts, namely research background, research problem, problem limitation, research objectives, research benefits, and definition of terms.

A. Research Background

  English is used as international language. Because of this reason, the needs for mastering English are increasing. The increasing needs of English affects elementary schools which formerly did not teach English to students to include English in the curriculum. Although many elementary schools have been starting teaching English to the students, there are also many obstacles in teaching it. One of them is learning source.

  Indonesian Ministry of National Education periodically supplies books called BSE or Buku Sekolah Elektronik for main subjects in elementary schools which are included in Lampiran Peraturan Menteri Pendidikan Nasional Nomor

22 Tahun 2006 Tanggal 23 Mei 2006 . The subjects are religion education, civics,

  Indonesian language, mathematics, science, social science, cultural education and sports (p.8). English, however, is not placed in the main subject which means the government does not supply books for learning. The schools, therefore, have to supply English books to support teaching-learning activities. This condition also occurs in SD Kristen 2 Sumberejo Klaten.

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

  2 In SD Kristen 2 Sumberejo Klaten, English is taught starting from grade 4. Students are required to learn actively by themselves. In the school, there is still a shortage of English books. The school has only been using the same English books to support learning activities since 2006. There are no other English books that support the learning process until now. The teacher only uses the same English book to teach the students for almost last 5 years. The teacher only uses other learning sources for teaching references.

  The lack of the availability of various English books is an obstacle that the school has been facing. The use of same English books for a long period affects learning process in the school. The students can only learn using the same books for almost last 5 years. The books cannot support the students when they are doing worksheets. The worksheet, however, is not only from the teacher. Every semester, the students receive different worksheets from the local government.

  Therefore, the books that they have will not support them any more since the contents are not updated.

  In the school, students are also provided with extracurricular activities such as choir, traditional dance, computer training, and drum band. All students are attracted to these all activities. They have performed some extracurricular activities to public such as in Christmas celebration, Easter celebration and also in church worship on Sunday. Physical conditions of the school support these all extracurricular activities. The school has a large schoolyard and has also a hall.

  These places are used as rehearsals of those extracurricular activities. The English teacher of the school realizes that almost all of the students have good abilities in

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

  3 the extracurricular activities. The teacher exploits their abilities to be used in teaching-learning process. The teacher often applies various activities in class such as playing games, singing songs, and role playing.

  During teaching-learning activities, English is taught by combining two or more language skills. For instance, listening and writing are combined in an activity like listening and filling missing words. Language skills are combined because the materials to be learned are corresponding to each others. The combination is also to enable students to learn language skills more effective because it will save time when two or more skills are combined.

  Based on the conditions above, the researcher decides to design integrated English materials which are relevant to the school’s needs that can help the learning process. Considering that the students have good abilities outside their academic abilities, the researcher involves their abilities by applying Gardner’s theory (1993) on multiple intelligences. The researcher takes the benefits of students’ non-academic abilities through designing activities based on multiple intelligences theory. The purpose of designing materials is to provide English materials that can increase students’ motivation to learn English.

B. Research Problem

  In this research, the researcher intends to find out the answers to the problems that are formulated as follows:

  1. How are integrated English materials based on multiple intelligence theory for the fourth grade students in SD Kristen 2 Sumberejo Klaten designed?

  2. What do integrated English materials based on multiple intelligence theory for the fourth grade students in SD Kristen 2 Sumberejo Klaten look like?

  C. Problem Limitation

  The researcher focuses on designing integrated English materials for the fourth grade students. The materials are designed based on students’ multiple intelligences. The materials combine two or more language skills.

  D. Research Objectives

  Based on the problem formulation above, the researcher has two objectives. The objectives of the research are:

  1. To describe the process of designing integrated English materials based on multiple intelligence theory for the fourth grade students in SD Kristen 2

  1. Design Dick (1989) defines design as “a process to develop a wide variety of instructional materials” (p.3). In this research, design deals with the process of creating integrated English materials and also deals with presenting the materials.

  2. Integrated English materials According to Richards and Rogers, integrated materials are materials which “focus on the integrated communicative skills” (as cited by Negari, 2009, p.7). In this research, integrated means combining two or more language skills in one learning activity. Integrated English materials cover four language skills which are listening, speaking, reading and writing.

  3. Multiple intelligences According to Gardner (1993) human has seven intelligences. They are musical intelligences, bodily-kinesthetic intelligences, logical-mathematical intelligences, linguistic intelligences, spatial intelligences, interpersonal intelligences, and intrapersonal intelligences (pp. 17-26). In this research, the researcher applies these seven intelligences in order to design the integrated materials.

  4. Fourth grade students Fourth grade students are those who are in the fourth year in SD Kristen 2 Sumberejo Klaten. The age of the students ranges between 9 – 10 years.

CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE This chapter presents the discussions of the theories which are related to

  this thesis. There are two parts of the discussions. The first part is theoretical description which discusses the related theories used in this study. The second

  part is theoretical framework which discuses the framework of the research. A. Theoretical Description In this part, the researcher explains theories on instructional designs, characteristics of young learners, the principles of young learners’ learning, multiple intelligences and developing syllabus for young learners.

1. Instructional Design

  Instructional design is related to designing materials and teaching-learning activities for the learners. The models of instructional design are taken from Kemp’s and Dick’s model.

a. Kemp’s Instructional Design

  Kemp’s (1977) instructional design plan is designed to answer three questions considered as “essential elements” of the design (p.8). These questions asked about the objectives of the instructional design, the activities and resources being used in the instructional design and the evaluation of the design itself.

  In designing the instructional design, Kemp proposes eight parts. The eight parts are explained as follows:

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

  8 1) Considering Goals, Listing Topics, and Stating the General Purposes for

  Teaching Each Topic Goals might be derived from society, students, or subject areas. Goals related to society are those which establish learners’ personal values. Goals derived from the students are related to students’ educational goals which are related to the subject matter. Goals which are derived from subject area are related to the specific purposes of the subject matter.

  Goals which have been stated will be a foundation of selecting topics of teaching-learning materials. After the topics have been selected, the general purposes of topics are listed. The purposes are the wants of what students should accomplish in the topics (pp. 13-16).

  2) Enumerating Characteristics of the Learners Learners’ important characteristics are considered for whom the instruction is to be designed. These characteristics include learners’ capabilities, needs, and interests. Besides, academic and social factors in the school should also be considered. Academics factors are those related to academic environment such as number of students, students’ academic background, students’ level of intelligence, students’ study habits, and students’ motivation to learn. Social factors of students involve their age, maturity, talents, relation with others, and socioeconomic situation. Learning condition are also important considerations.

  These conditions involve factors that can affect students’ ability to concentrate, absorb, and retain from learning activities (pp. 18-21).

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

  9 3) Specifying Learning Objectives

  Learning objectives are grouped into three categories, namely cognitive, psychomotor, and affective. Objectives related to cognitive aspect are those which related to students’ knowledge and thinking process. Psychomotor aspect is related to students’ ability of kinesthetic activities such as physical activities.

  Affective aspect concerns on students’ attitudes, appreciations, and values (pp. 23- 30).

  4) Listing Subject Content The subject content should support each learning objectives. The content should also relate to the objectives and students’ needs. This stage deals with selecting and organizing students’ knowledge, skills, and attitudinal factors of the topics (pp. 43-47).

  5) Developing Pre-assessments to the Students Pre-assessment is used to determine students’ background and present students’ level knowledge about the topic. The pre-assessment is used to find out to what extent the students have acquired the necessary prerequisites for studying the topics and to find out what students have mastered the topics (pp. 50-52) 6) Selecting Teaching/Learning Activities and Instructional Resources

  Teaching/learning activities and instructional resources will treat the subject content so that students will accomplish the learning objectives. The teaching-learning activities must be efficient and effective. This means that the activities must enable students to master the objectives of the topics (pp. 55-60).

  10 7) Coordinating Support Services

  Support services cover budget, personnel, facilities, equipments, and schedules. These components are for carrying out the instructional plan (pp. 84- 85). 8) Evaluating Students’ Learning

  Students’ accomplishment of learning objectives is evaluated. The evaluation is done in order to provide a view to revising and re-evaluating any phases of the plan that need improvement (pp. 91-92).

b. Dick’s Instructional Design

  Dick (1989) defines instructional design as “a process to develop a wide variety of instructional materials” (p.3). The examples of instructional materials are printed materials, computer-assisted instruction, and televised instruction. He classifies nine stages in designing materials. These steps are explained as follows: 1) Setting Goals

  The goals of instruction are based on where they come from, how they are used, how they can be categorized and how they influence the instruction. The goals are grouped into four aspects which are students’ knowledge, intellectual skills, motor skills, and attitudes (pp. 8-13).

  2) Writing Objectives The objectives are more specific than the goals. The objectives indicate what students should be able to do the instruction. The objectives describe what the students should demonstrate as a result of the instruction and what students will be expected from demonstrating the instruction (pp. 17-19).

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

  11 3) Analyzing Students’ Characteristics

  In defining the objectives, students’ characteristics such as their skills and knowledge are analyzed. These skills and knowledge are used as a prerequisite that the students must have before they get the instruction (pp. 30-33). 4) Developing Test

  The purpose of developing tests for students is to measure their progress whether they have achieved the objectives or not. For the teachers, developing tests can provide them information regarding the quality of their instruction (pp. 37-38). 5) Selecting Textbook and Other Printed Materials

  The selection of textbook and other printed materials enables the teacher to select materials as well as to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each text.

  The materials should also reflect the students’ needs and skills (pp. 53-55). 6) Developing Instructional Activities

  After the materials are ready, they then can be implemented to the classroom (p. 103). The implementation, then, could result materials revision.

  9) Revising Instruction The materials are revised after the teacher implements them. If students do not achieve the goals and objectives, the instructional materials have to be revised

  (p. 112).

  The instructional design which was applied in this research was combination between Kemp’s and Dick’s theory. The combination was taken from some steps from Kemp’s and Dick’s theory. Some steps were not included in this research because the researcher adjusted the instructional design to the results of needs analysis conducted in the school. The combination of instructional design of those theories were conducting needs analysis; listing topics, stating goals and learning objectives; listing subject content; selecting teaching-learning activity and learning sources; developing syllabus; evaluating materials; and revising materials. After revising the materials, the step was back to the previous steps if there were feedbacks to revise the materials. The combination of Kemp’s and Dick’s instructional design is shown in the following figure:
