Abstract

Teaching material is one of the learning components that used to assist the students understand a material. To fulfill this function, at least the material provided is relevant to the students’ daily life. Therefore, it is necessary to develop teaching material that meets the concept of contextual learning. The purpose of this research was to produce teaching materials that are suitable to be used by developing a base of local wisdom. Local wisdom were chosen due to they are related to the concept of disaster mitigation, and are close to the students’ daily life. Research method used the Borg &amp; Gall stage which was then adapted into, (1) collecting information and need analysis; (2) planning; (3) teaching material development; (4) prototype testing; (5) prototype revision; (6) model testing; (7) model revision. Through this stage, research product in the form of teaching materials was assessed for its feasibility by several experts and also tested on students as users. Product is targeted to gain a positive response from users with an average score above 70% which indicates that it is quite feasible to be implemented in learning, so that it may be an alternative as a learning resource besides using other textbooks.

Highlights

Teaching material is one of the learning components used to assist the students for understanding a material
The understanding of teaching materials can be interpreted as all materials that are arranged systematically and show the integrity of the competencies mastered by students, so that it can be used for planning and reviewing the implementation of learning (Prastowo, 2015)
The materials consist of facts, concepts, principles / rules, procedures, and problems which are packaged in the form of content or subject matter

Summary

Introduction

Contextual signifies that the concept of learning can help the students to build knowledge based on the events that undergone and it can be applied in everyday life (Sulistyowati & Putri, 2018) To make it happen, the educator's effort is needed in analyzing the need and raising local wisdom, in the area of students’ life (Tanjung & Fahmi, 2015). The educator's effort is needed in analyzing the need and raising local wisdom, in the area of students’ life (Tanjung & Fahmi, 2015) The development of this teaching material is an effort to build students' knowledge about their own area. There are many teachers who still use teaching materials from other people or manufacturers and are not in accordance with the sociocultural students (Prastowo, 2015)
