CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Research
In Indonesia, workbook is familiarly named LKS for Lembar Kerja
Siswa. Workbook plays an important role to support the teachers in the learning
process. And workbook are also known as a source in gaining the information and
as a leader in giving students’ exercises. Stephani et al said that workbook is used
to fill the need of integrated instructional material.1 Moreover, workbook is a
simple resource to be used in the learning process because it contains a brief
explanation about the material and the exercises related to the material. As Dwi
Wiji Astuti said that workbook is used by many school such as senior high school
and vocational high school as the common resource in the learning process.2 So,
as a simple resource in language learning, workbook is well-known in educational
field.
Workbook is supported the textbook by the teacher and the student in the
learning process. According to Richards, workbook, CDs and cassettes, videos,
CD ROMs, and comprehensive teaching guides are frequently accompanied
textbook to provide a rich and various resources. As a teachers’ book, textbook
essentially provides the instruction for teacher in the learning process. While for
the students’ book, textbook could supply the major source of their language input
apart from the teachers’ input.3 Hence, the existence of workbook is important to
provide the learning process for the teacher and the students by doing some
activities in the learning process.
As day by day, the role of workbook at some schools in Indonesia as
students’ textbook is really important for some teachers in Indonesia. In addition,

Engineering and Technology, vol. (7) 2.29, 2018, pp. 571.

Program”, 2015, pp. 1, (retrieved from https://www.researchgate.net/publication/265455920 on

workbook is used by some teachers as the main component in the learning
process. The learning process of English is based on textbook due to textbook as a
key component in language learning.4 As the result, the teacher usually just give a
brief explanation about the material and after that, they just asked their student to
do some exercises in workbook. Without knowing the student understand the
material or not after the student finishes their work, the teacher just moves on to
the next topic. Regard to workbook as one kind of textbook in Indonesia, it is used
as the main resource in learning English. To avoid the oversight from the role of
the workbook, the teacher must pay attention to the quality of the workbook they
have already used in the learning process. As stated by Nnamdi-Eruchalu, a good
English language book must be qualified by looking at the various communication
needs of the students.5 A good English workbook is a workbook that contains the
language needs of the student which cover the main four skills in language
learning which are Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing. But the question is,
does the workbook in Indonesia contains the main four skills above? In fact, those
four skills are in the Curriculum 2013.
Curriculum 2013 is the development from previous curriculum in
Indonesia which is KTSP (Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan) or school-based
curriculum. Curriculum 2013 is wished to encourage students’ character building
in order to create student to be more active in the learning process. According to
Gunawan, “the newest curriculum in Indonesia or called Curriculum 2013 is the
curriculum that emphasize building students’ characters, developing relevant
skills based on students’ interests and needs, and developing a thematic approach
that benefits students’ cognitive abilities.”6 Curriculum 2013 is the renewable
curriculum from KTSP for school-based curriculum development. They are quite
different from one another. The difference between those two curriculums is in

Role of Textbooks in Effective Teaching and Learning of English as a Second Language”, vol.
(20) 1, 2012, pp. 4. 6Imam Gunawan, Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research:
“Indonesian Curriculum 2013: Instructional Management, Obstacles Faced by Teachers in
Implementation and the Way Forward”, vol. (128), 2017, pp. 56.

Curriculum 2013 the syllabus development is from the central government’s
authority. While in KTSP, the syllabus development is under education unit’s
authority (school).7 In addition, Hasan also stated that the aims of curriculum
2013 is develop students to be productive, creative, innovative, affective (religious
and social attitudes), and competent to contribute for the betterment of social,
national, and political lives, and humanity as their personal life skills.8 It can be
inferred that curriculum 2013 asks the student to be more creative and criticize
about the material so they can enrich their skills through the learning process. To
emphasize the character building, the student also has to learn actively because all
of the activities in the classroom should encourage the student to be active.
Besides, the activities must be integrated with the students’ interests and needs
that compatible with the students’ skills. By looking at the main characteristic of
curriculum 2013, commonly, some of the teacher only gives a brief explanation to
the student by using workbook as their resource in the learning process.
Curriculum 2013 contains two competences that must be achieved by the
student in Indonesia, which are Kompetensi Inti (KI) or core competence and
Kompetensi Dasar (KD) or basic competence. This competence are designed to
the student for their character building.9 Moreover, curriculum 2013 is a set of
learning materials as a guide in learning process. If the workbook is compatible
with the curriculum 2013, it means that the workbook has fulfilled the criteria of
BSNP.
Badan Standar Nasional Pendidikan or we called it BSNP is a
professional and independent institution that carrying a mission to develop,
monitoring the implementation, and evaluating the implementation in the
educational system in Indonesia. Based on the government regulation No. 19 of
2005, BSNP have several tasks to be entailed in ensuring the educational system
in Indonesia. One of the tasks is assessing the feasibility of the book in Indonesia.

(10) 1, pp. 6. 8Said Hamid Hasan, International Journal History and Education: “History Education in
Curriculum 2013: A New Approach in Teaching History”, 2013, vol. (14) 2, pp. 165 9Djuwariah Ahmad, Understanding the 2013 Curriculum of English Teaching through the
Teachers’ and Policymakers’ Perspectives, 2014, vol. (2) 4, pp. 7.

In assessing the book, the various criteria will be assessed, such as evaluate the
content of the book that being used in Indonesia.10
However, BSNP is used to see
the standardized educational system in Indonesia that integrated with the terms
and condition. In addition, a good workbook is a workbook that fulfills the terms
of BSNP which compatible to the curriculum 2013. However, many writers of the
workbook that have some mistakes which should be avoided before its being
published. And it can be assessed with BSNP standardization.
The researcher uses content analysis as the method in this research to
evaluate English workbook that published by PT. Swadaya Murni. The content
analysis method is used because the researcher analyze and evaluate the workbook
by using BSNP rubric to assess the workbook. Content analysis is a scientific tool
to analyze the context of particular object, such as the body of document, images,
and symbolic matter with systematic and objective way. Downe-Wambolt cited in
Bengtsson defined content analysis is a research method that means to make valid
inferences from verbal, visual, or written data to describe and quantify specific
phenomena with systematically and objectively.11
The researcher analyzes the
context of workbook which is the material of the workbook that divided into three
criteria. They are the feasibility of the content, language, and presentation. Those
feasibilities are mentioned in BSNP rubric and in line with curriculum 2013.
Based on the explanation above, the researcher decides to evaluate the
workbook for eighth Junior High School entitled “Bahasa Inggris” published by
PT. Swadaya Murni. The reasons why the researcher chooses this workbook are
this workbook is used by MTs Negeri 13 Jakarta, a school where the researcher
has been practiced as a teacher during the Introduction of the School Environment
– Pengenalan Lapangan Persekolahan (PLP). Without knowing the quality of the
workbook before, the teacher in this school just used the workbook as the main
resource in the teaching process. Because the curriculum 2013 asks the student to
be active, the teacher just explained briefly and then they asked their students to

do some exercises in the workbook. And the researcher also spot some mistakes in
the workbook, such as the typographies and the grammatical errors. and make the
student confused about the information that given by the workbook. As the result,
the student were confused as their collect the information from the workbook. The
school also did not have a team in selecting the workbook and the teacher also did
not involve to do so. Coming up to those issues, the researcher is interested to
evaluate the workbook whether the workbook fulfills the requirement of
curriculum 2013 with the title “Evaluation of English Workbook Published by PT.
Swadaya Murni Based on Curriculum 2013”.
B. Identification of the Problem
From the background of the research, the researcher identify some
problems, such as:
1. Some schools used workbook as the main resource in learning English without
knowing whether the book is appropriate to be used in the learning process.
2. The stakeholders at the school have no team in selecting workbooks for the
learning process and even the teachers are not participated to do so.
3. There are some mistakes in the workbook made by the writer, such as the
typographies and the grammatical errors.
C. Limitation of the Problem
The researcher only focus on analyze and evaluate Bahasa Inggris
Workbook published by PT. Swadaya Murni that used by the student in eighth
grade MTs Negeri 13 Jakarta in the academic year 2018/2019.
D. Questions of the Research
1. Does the workbook fulfill the criteria of BSNP rubric?
2. Does the workbook contain the main four language skills of English which
require the English curriculum 2013 by the criteria of BSNP?
3. How does the workbook help the teacher and the students in the teaching and
learning process?
6
E. Objective of the Research
The objective of this research is to analyze and evaluate Bahasa Inggris
Workbook published by PT. Swadaya Murni whether appropriate to use as the
main resorce in learning English and fulfill the criteria of BSNP.
F. Significance of the Research
After finishing this research, the researcher hope that this research will
be useful for the teachers that commonly use a workbook as a main resource in
teaching English. This research hopefully can encourage English teacher to be
selective to choose a workbook that will be used in the classroom whether
compatible with the curriculum or not. Then, this research is expected to be
reference for the next researcher if they want to do similar research. Again, this
research may be encourage the publishers of the workbook to revise their mistakes
in publish the book. All in all, the researcher hope that this research can be useful
for all the readers that read this research because it will give some new
information and can encourage the readers to be more selective in choosing the
workbook.

CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
A. The Understanding of Workbook
Workbook is one of a printed media that usually use in learning process
to guide a teacher in giving some activities toward the student. Workbook as
defined by Özlem Ulu Kalin is a learning material that support student to provide
their knowledge and skills which compatible with the mandate of education
program.1 Workbook should be contains some skills that integrated to the material
so the student will learn based on the context and it will coherence with the
curriculum. Sometimes, workbook is well-known as a curriculum practice
resource because it will help the teacher to teaching, monitoring, and assessing the
students’ work.2 All in all, it can be inferred that workbook as an instructional
resource that coherence with the curriculum to help the teacher in learning
process. Also workbook plays important role because the teacher use it as their
guide in the learning process because it provides students’ need that integrated to
the curriculum practice.
In addition, workbook is a resource that require to reach Task-based
learning (TBL) approach by looking at the characteristic of TBL. According to
Douglas and Kim (2014), TBL is used to engage students to use the target
language as they learn through task so the students will learn based on the
context.3 Regard to the existence of workbook that must provide the students’
need, TBL is an appropriate approach to be used in the learning process. The
student will be more understanding as they learn by the context. Beside it, as they
learn by the context, the student will gain their target language by learn through

workbook. In line with Douglas and Kim, according to Ganta, task-based learning
develops students’ cognitive to have communicative skills in language learning.
This approach is intended the learner to focus on the usage of a language.4
However, workbook can be defined as a resource that require the task-based
learning approach because workbook contains the context that integrated to the
syllabus.
Because of workbook is designed to reach language skills which
integrated to the curriculum and syllabus, the quality of workbook is important to
be noticed by all of the teachers that use workbook as their instructional resource
in learning process. According to Badan Standar Nasional Pendidikan (BSNP),
each of educational system must provide the facilities, such as the use of media in
learning process which support to the standardized of BSNP. The main criteria
that should be noticed is the content of material, the content of a language, and the
content of presentation.5
In the use of English workbook, there are some criteria that should be
noticed by the teacher:6
1. English language teaching materials should be contextualized.
It means that the materials that are intended to be addressed should be
contextualized to the curriculum. Then, the material also should be contextualized
to the experiences, realities and first language of the students as it intended to
involve an awareness of the social-cultural of the students. In addition, the topics
and themes of the material should be contextualized that provide the meaningful,
purposeful of the use to students’ target language.
2. English language teaching materials should stimulate and generative.

Strengths and Weaknesses of Task Based Learning (TBL) Approach”, 2015, vol. (3) 16, pp. 2-4. 5Badan Standar Nasional Pendidikan, Deskripsi Butir Instrument I, 2018 (http://bsnp-
indonesia.org/2014/05/28/instrumen-penilaian-buku-teks-pelajaran-tahun-2014/) 6Jocelyn Howard and Joe Major, Guidelines for Designing Effective English Language
Teaching Materials, p. 104-107, (retrieved from http://www.paaljapan.org/ on April 1st, 2019 at
11.10 a.m.)
9
Language teaching materials should provide the situations where the
students can interact with each other outside of the classroom. So the learning
process involves the students to explore their language proficiency.
3. English language teaching materials should develop learning skills and
strategies.
The self-evaluation is providing the opportunities which encourage the
students to assess their language development by provide the necessary
metalanguage and incorporate activities. The aim of this guideline is to encourage
the students to be active and to be independent in learning a language. So the first
language of the students can be as well as English.
4. English language teaching materials should allow focus on form.
This means that the materials is necessary encourage the student to have
analytical approach of the language around them, and to form and verify their own
hypotheses about the work of a language.
5. English language teaching materials should offer opportunities for integrated
language use.
To become competent at integrating the extra-linguistic, the materials
should provide students opportunities in integrating all the language skills in an
authentic way.
6. English language teaching materials should be authentic.
Magazines and newspaper are commonly consider as the authentic written
material. And for the authentic spoken and visual material, the students need to
hear, read, and see the way how the native are communicate with each other
naturally.
7. English language teaching materials should link between the progression of
skill and language items.
The materials should have coherence in design process because it will help
to ensure the objectives of the progress in learning process while giving the
opportunities for repetition and reinforcement of earlier learning.
8. English language teaching materials should be attractive.
10
The materials should be attractive in physical appearance because it is
important to be the first impression as the language teaching materials to be good
looking, such as in the type size, the cohesiveness and consistency of the layout.
Then, the materials should be attractive in the terms of the usability. Also the
materials should be considered to be made robust enough to last the required
distance. And the materials should have the ability to be reproduced.
9. English language teaching materials should have appropriate instructions.
The instruction should be clear, concise, and efficient as they should be
written in language that is appropriate to the target language of the students.
10. English language teaching materials should be flexible.
The material should be flexible in the terms of content, approach, level,
methodology, logistics, technology, teaching style, evaluation procedures and
expected outcomes.
B. English Workbook in Indonesia
As J. Howard said that each materials or syllabus must be considered with
the needs of analysis regard to English language skills – listening, speaking,
reading, writing, vocabulary knowledge, and grammar.7 As a major part in
learning English, workbook has been a main medium in learning process that used
by some teacher in Indonesia. The use of workbook as a learning material is
simply encompass the main skills of English language learning. Workbook in
Indonesia is believed as a source in gaining the information and doing some
activities to help the teacher in the learning process. As stated by Dewi et al,
workbook is helped the student in finding a concept, and also as the students’
guide in creating independent learning activities with the guidance of the teacher,
as well as increasing the student understanding from the concept of the material.
In addition, workbook is used as the resource to provide the students to be active
7Ibid p. 103.
11
in the learning process.8 Therefore, workbook is used by some teacher as the
main resource in teaching process because it help the teacher in the learning
process as provoke the student to be independent in the learning process.
Moreover, the importance of the content quality in English workbook is
needed. Prasetianto stated that “the content covers linguistic features and technical
terms of the topic. The materials still need linguistics because it deals with
English. The materials taught are four skills and grammar. Besides, technical
terms are also presented in the materials because it deals with content/subject. The
students can learn some definition related to the topic.”9 It is obvious that the
content quality of workbook must be qualified before its being used by the teacher
and the student because the content quality plays important role for any
workbook. The content quality of workbook must cover the main four skills in
English, so the student will learn communicatively.
With the concern of workbook in Indonesia, every publishers of each
workbook should take a look on several security procedure that should be applied
in the workbook. Depdiknas (Department Pendidikan Nasional) or national
education department stated that the workbook have to contain at least the title,
basic competencies that will be achieved, time regulation to finish the task in the
workbook, a brief information, instruction, and report that must be done by the
students.10
So it can be seen that the rules of composing the workbook is officially
declared by the government of Indonesia education.
Moreover, the rules in composing the content of the book is also written
by the government of Indonesia education. Nurkhimah cited in Jazadi “the content
of books should be in line with and not contradictory to Pancasila (the state
philosophy), UUD 1945 (the 1945 Constitution), Government policies, national
unity and security, laws, regulations, ethics, and that the content not exploits the

sensitive issue of SARA (ethnics, religions, race, and intergroup relations).
Judgement of this aspect is made by evaluators coming from Mabes ABRI,
Kejaksaan agung (Office of Attorney General), Lemhanas (National Defence
Institute) and Inspectorate General of MOEC (Ministry of Education and
Culture).”11 It is obvious that the content quality of workbook should be notice by
all the teachers in order to fulfill the needs of language proficiency based on the
criteria of curriculum 2013 and the standardized of BSNP. Therefore, workbook is
commonly used by the teacher in teaching English because it is easy to use as the
workbook contains English language skills. Then, the workbook also provoke the
students to be active as they were doing independent learning which is in line with
the curriculum 2013 that asks the students to be active in the learning process.
C. Curriculum 2013
Curriculum 2013 or K-13 is the latest curriculum that has been applied in
Indonesia. Indonesian government changed the previous curriculum was KTSP
(Kurkulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan) or school based curriculum into
curriculum 2013 and officially published on July 2013 named Curriculum 2013.12
This curriculum is hopefully can build the students’ character which can
encourage them to be more active in learning process. As Gunawan stated that the
aim of Curriculum 2013 is building creative, innovative by strengthening
attitudes, skills, and integrated knowledge for students.13
Hence, Curriculum 2013
is the development from KTSP curriculum which build the students’ character by
reinforced their attitudes, skills, and knowledge that can promote them to be more
active and creative in the learning process.
As the main purpose of Curriculum 2013 which wished to create student to
be more active and innovative in learning process, English in Curriculum 2013
contains many aspects that can create students to learn English to be active and

communicative through their language needs. According to Ashar and Irmawati,
Curriculum 2013 is described English subject in Indonesia as an important
components because it will promote the students’ ability to use English with its
basic skills which are listening, speaking, reading, and writing.14
Education law mandated about curriculum 2013 is evolved using the
competency-based curriculum that had been used by previous curriculum which is
KTSP. This competency-based curriculum provides student to develop their skills
to achieve competency level or higher in their learning process.15
In curriculum
2013, the main competence that will be assess is core competence or Kompetensi
Inti (KI), and basic competence or Kompetensi Dasar (KD). According to Yulia,
core competence or Kompetensi Inti (KI) contains four competences (KI 1 to KI
4). Each competences has its own aspect that can influence the learning outcome,
they are KI 1 defines spiritual aspects, then KI 2 defines social (behavior) aspects,
KI 3 defines knowledge aspects, and KI 4 defines skill aspects. While in basic
competence or Kompetensi Dasar (KD), for developing the competence from KI
that contains some indicators that must be fulfill in the curriculum 2013.16
Therefore, curriculum 2013 has its criteria to engage students in achieving the
competency level that has been determined by the government.
Curriculum 2013 is also called with “scientific approach” that can be
applied in each course because it has five activities that must be applied in
teaching and learning process. Those activities are observing, questioning,
exploring/experimenting, analyzing, and communicating.17

Scientific Approach for Learning Activities
Activities for Scientific
Approach Competencies developed by the activities
Observing Students read/observe/listen to develop
patience, sincerity, to differentiate general
and specific information/feature/character,
think analytically, critically, deductive, and
comprehensive. In history, they observe
historical account(s) or text, document,
artifacts (physical, cultural, social).
Questioning Students ask questions from what is
observed, to develop ability to formulate
questions, creativity, curiosity, and critical

determine valid resources, work
cooperatively and collaboratively. In
history, students collect more resources
(documents or text), artifacts, or interview
resources persons especially the ones who
took parts in an historical event the students
learn.

Activities for Scientific
Approach
Competencies developed by the activities
Analyzing Students analyze information available
from exploring activities to develop
honesty, discipline, rule obedient attitudes,
hardworking, skills in applying scientific
procedures, analytical thinking, In history,
students reconstruct information collected
from data collection activity and make their
own history account.
Communicating Students communicate the result of analysis
they made, to develop honesty, sincerity,
systematic thinking, the use of proper terms
and language. In history, they communicate
what they have constructed as their own
history in analyzing activity that may take
the format of writing historical account,
video, photos, or other communication
formats.
However, curriculum 2013 is used scientific approach in the learning
process that suitable to core competence or Kompetensi Inti (KI) and basic
competence or Kompetensi Dasar (KD). This competence is designed by the
government to create student to be more active in the learning process. This
curriculum also well-known uses as student-centered approach because it can
create the student to be active in learning process.
D. Content Analysis Based on Curriculum 2013
According to Krippendorff, content analysis is the use of research method
for making the use of the context is replicable and valid inferences from texts.18
In
18
Klaus Krippendorff, Content Analysis an Introduction to Its Methodology (third
edition), United States of America: SAGE Publication, 2013, pp. 24.
16
line with Krippendorff, Colorado State University stated that content analysis as a
tool to define the relation of some words and concepts and make inferences of the
meaning within texts, the writer, the audience, etc. which is the part of this area.
The texts can be specify as books, book chapters, essays, interviews, discussions,
newspaper headlines and articles, historical documents, speeches, conversations,
advertising, theater, informal conversation, or really any occurrence of
communicative language.19
From the definition above, we can conclude that
content analysis is a scientific tool to analyze the concept of the specified text that
can be replicable and valid inferences from the texts.
Moreover, the content analysis is systematic analyzing of reading the body
of texts, images, and symbolic matter.20
The items that can be analyzed in the
content analysis divided into five types, which are:21
1. Written texts – documents, books, papers, newspapers, etc.
2. Oral texts – sound, speeches, audio-messages, lectures, etc.
3. Iconic texts – graphs, painting, posters, drawing, etc.
4. Audio-visual texts – films, MMS, videos, etc.
5. Hypertexts – texts from the internet.
Based on the various content analysis items above, this research uses
written text of the books which means this research analyze the content of the
material of the workbook. The workbook commonly is analyzed by the rubric of
the education standardization. This research uses Badan Satuan Nasional
Pendidikan (BSNP) rubric to analyze the material of the workbook whether in line
with the standardization which has been specified by the government especially
government of education in Indonesia.
In Badan Satuan Nasional Pendidikan (BSNP) instrument, there are three
categories that used to analyze the content of the kind of textbook, they are the

E. Previous Study
There are some research who conduct qualitative method by doing a
content analysis. The first is the study from Universitas Islam by Nana Pratiwi
entitled “Analysis of English Workbook for SMP/MTs by Using Revised Bloom
Taxonomy”. This study used descriptive analytical study which describe and
elaborate the data by analyze English Workbook “Can Do 2” by using cognitive
domain levels of Revised Bloom Taxonomy. The result of this study is “Can Do
2” Workbook did not appropriate with Revised Bloom Taxonomy because it did
not cover the entire of criteria in Revised Bloom Taxonomy.
The next is the study from Sanata Dharma University which conducted by
Stephanie Dian Prasetyawati in 2016. She conduct a qualitative research entitled
“Content Analysis on Canggih Bahasa Inggris Workbook for 7th
Grade of Junior
High School”. This study investigate and describe whether the workbook has
fulfilled the requirement of the School-Based Curriculum or Kurikulum Tingkat
satuan Pendidikan (KTSP) or not. The result is the workbook has fulfilled the
requirements of the curriculum KTSP that used by the school.
The last study from Fahru Kamaludin Madjid entitled “The Feasibility of
Content Analysis of English Textbook Based on Curriculum 2013”. This is an
analytical research of the “Contextual English” textbook that used in the tenth
grade of Senior High School for the first year. He used the standardized of BSNP
(Badan Standar Nasional Pendidikan) as a standardization to assess the textbook.
Again, he also used Likert’s scale to integrate with BSNP’s rubric assessment as
24
the instrument use in this research. The result of this study is the textbook has
fulfilled the requirements in curriculum 2013 of feasibility content. But there are
some materials that not suitable to the requirement of feasibility content. This
result reach the number of 60,41% which means that the textbook still acceptable
to use in the school.
F. Thinking Framework
Workbook plays an important role in teaching a language because it
contains some integrated skills related to the learning objectives and curriculum.
The use of workbook in the learning process is crucial to guide the teacher and the
student achieves their learning objectives. However, it is not easy to choose the
best workbook that suitable to the curriculum. Curriculum is a set of plans that
contain learning materials and it is well-known as the guidance to help the teacher
achieving the learning objectives. The curriculum contains some skills that
integrated to the language proficiency needs. The quality of workbook must be
noticed by all the parties that contribute to choosing the workbook as English
language teaching materials. Therefore, the researcher studied the quality of
workbook whether it is suitable to the curriculum, especially curriculum 2013 –
the latest curriculum in Indonesia educational system. The quality of workbook
should be based on the needs of a language proficiency which means should
contain at least the main four skills in English, they are listening, speaking,
reading, and writing. In order to find out whether the workbook has fulfilled the
requirement of curriculum 2013, the researcher analyzes the content of the
workbook.

2014, pp. 1, (retrieved from https://journals.sagepub.com on July 9th, 2019 at 9.45 p.m.).
26
In order to make this research valid, the researcher also uses the
questionnaire as the additional instrument to interview the teacher and some
students at MTs Negeri 13 Jakarta that used this workbook as their main media in
learning English. The questionnaire of this research consists of some questions
that related to the criteria of content analysis of workbook. After doing the
interview, the researcher elaborates on the respondents’ answer and describe
whether the answer fulfills the criteria of content analysis or not.
C. Instrument of the Research
The first instrument of this research is BSNP rubric to analyze and
evaluate workbook because BSNP is used to measure the content of workbook.
However, the data is collected through curriculum 2013 which has been integrated
with BSNP.
The second instrument of this research is the interview with the teacher
and the students of MTs Negeri 13 Jakarta. The researcher did some interviews to
the English teacher and 10 students that asked them some questions related to the
evaluation of English workbook which in line with the criteria of BSNP.
D. Procedure of the Research
The procedure of this research starts with identifying the research question
that integrated with the data. Then, the researcher takes a look to BSNP rubric that
integrated into curriculum 2013. This rubric is used to find out whether the
workbook has fulfilled the criteria of BSNP or not. The focus of this research is
analyzed the content of the workbook has fulfill curriculum 2013 through the
content of the workbook.
Next, the researcher takes the entire chapters of the workbook that only
consists of four chapters. After that, the researcher follows the instruction of Miles
and Huberman’s model. The data is obtained by analyzing and evaluating the
workbook. After the researcher has collected the data by analyzing and evaluating
then the researcher can move on to the interpretation. The researcher will interpret
the data by descriptive and numerical. Numerical is chose because this research is
used as the percentage as evident to make it clear.
27
Then, the interview is used to make the result of evaluating this workbook
is valid. The researcher analyzes the respondents’ answer and then interpret it to
describe the result of the interview. After the interview has been analyzed, the
researcher draws the data that has been collected and then comparing to the BSNP
criteria of evaluating English workbook.3
E. Data Analysis Technique
Based on Buku Pedoman Penulisan Skripsi, this research will be suitable
to Miles and Hubermans’ model. As the steps are sampling, selecting, displaying,
drawing, and verifying conclusion. The model of Miles and Huberman instruction
is totally appropriate to this research as this research use qualitative method. So
this is the following of Miles and Huberman’s model in graphic.
Figure 3.1
Miles and Huberman’s Model
In this research, the researcher uses Miles and Huberman’s model as her
step in doing this research, the step as it follows:
1. Data Collection
The researcher collects the data by comparing the instrument which is
“Bahasa Inggris” workbook to the BSNP rubric that integrated with the Likert’s
scale. The researcher uses Likert’s scale of assessing the quality of workbook. In
addition, to make this research valid, the researcher doing some interview by
3Pedoman Penulisan Skripsi, Fakultas Ilmu Tarbiyah dan Keguruan, Universitas Islam Negeri
Syaruf Hidayatullah Jakarta, 2019. pp. 52-54.
28
asking some questions to English teacher and some students that used “Bahasa
Inggris” workbook in MTs Negeri 13 Jakarta.
2. Data Display
This step is displaying the data by analyzing and describing how high the
result of point content quality of workbook with BSNP rubric. The researcher
presents each chapter of the workbook in the table with Likert’s scale. The scale
consists of one to five scale. The researcher evaluates the data by giving the score
of:
1: Poor
2: Fair
3: Good
4: Excellent
Then, the interview asks some questions related to evaluating the content
quality of this workbook. The result of the interview is also presented in this step.
After that, the data that has been evaluated with the Likert’s scale and the result of
the interview presented descriptively.
3. Data Reduction
The researcher does this step based on the purpose of this research which
is to evaluate the content of the “Bahasa Inggris” workbook. The researcher only
collects the data that is suitable with BSNP rubric. Then, the data only used to
answer the research question.
4. Conclusion: Drawing/Verifying
The researcher verifying the data by interpreting the result of data that has
been analyzed and reduced. This step is to draw the result of the compatibility or
“Bahasa Inggris” workbook toward curriculum 2013. The percentage helps the
researcher to show the result of this research. The data that has been analyzed will
be presented numerically at the end of the research. The total score of each
chapter will be presented with the percentage. The percentage of the data is
calculated manually as it follows.
29
Note:
P: Percentage
F: Frequency
N: The sum of frequency
Then, the researcher also verifying the result of the interview that has been
analyzed and interpreted which will help to answer the question of the research.

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
A. Conclusion
After doing the whole step of the research, the researcher drew a
conclusion based on the findings of the research. The result of this research which
is Evaluation of English Workbook Published by PT. Swadaya Murni showed that
the workbook did not fulfill the criteria of BSNP rubric because the percentage
only reached 31,25% which means the book did not sufficient to be used as the
main resource in learning English. The material of the workbook is complete but
the depth of the material did not rich as the findings showed that the depth did not
reach the perfect score and the interview of the teacher and the students showed
that they disappointed with the lack of the explanation of the workbook. Because
this is only a workbook, so the explanation only a brief. But this workbook has
fulfilled the need of students’ English language need because the workbook uses
the language that related to the context of the material and compatible with the
students’ level knowledge. Also, this workbook is in line with the curriculum
2013, as the material that suitable to the English syllabus. Hence, the main four
skills of English also contained in this workbook. It can be considered that the
workbook should not to be the main resource in the learning process as the
percentage did not reach half of the criteria. Meanwhile, this workbook is worth as
the supporting media in the learning process.
B. Suggestion and Implication
Based on the finding and the conclusion above, the researcher has some
suggestions for the related parties. Firstly, for the teacher that used the workbook
as the main resource in teaching English. The researcher found that the workbook
only reaches 31,25% of the criteria. Which means the teacher should not use the
workbook as the main source in teaching English. Although some components of
the workbook is fulfilled the criteria and the workbook is contained all the English
main skills, the teacher should use another book, maybe a textbook for the main
64
media in teaching English. Fortunately, the workbook is compatible with the
curriculum 2013.
For the school that chooses the workbook, especially for the headmaster
and the head of administration, they should be more careful in choosing the media
for the learning process. Also, they should notice if the teacher did not only use
the workbook as the main resource in the learning process. They should warn the
teacher to be more creative in the teaching process.
For the publisher, they should improve the weaknesses of the workbook,
especially the presentation of the workbook. Because it is the key to engage the
student in the learning process. Again, the publisher should be more thorough
before publishing the book because the researcher found some typographies that
can make student misunderstood about the material. Beside it, the publisher
should be considered about the BSNP criteria to make a better workbook. Hence,
the publisher or the writer of the workbook should take a look and revise the
missing element that did not fulfill the criteria of BSNP rubric to avoid the bias of
the researcher in evaluating the workbook. All in all, in choosing the workbook,
the school have to consider about the quality of the book and the students’ need.
