Penelitian ini adalah penelitian evaluasi buku. Prosedur yang digunakan

dalam penelitian ini diadaptasi dari Ur (2009) yaitu: (1) menentukan kriteria, (2)

mengaplikasikan kriteria, dan ringkasan. Setelah menentukan kriteria yang terdiri

dari empat belas aspek, buku dianalisa. Empat belas aspek tersebut adalah (a)

Tingkah laku, pengetahuan, dan keterampilan, (b) Kompetensi Dasar, (c) Materi

yang asli, (d) Komponen unit (obyektif, penjelasan, kegiatan, dan evaluasi), (e)

Keseimbangan unit, (f) Kesesuaian dengan pendekatan ilmiah, (g) standard
