EVALUATION OF LKS "DETECTIVE REVIEW" TEACHING MATERIALS FOR GRADE VIII STUDENTS OF MTS AL-RIYADL: STUDY ON THE ASPECTS OF UNDERSTANDING AND QUALITY OF MATERIALS

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the “Detektif Ulasan” Student Worksheet (LKS) used in the Indonesian Language and Literature learning for eighth-grade students at MTs Al-Riyadl. The method employed is a descriptive quantitative approach, with data collected through questionnaires administered to 22 students and one partner teacher, analysis of student work on the LKS, and reflective notes from the implementing teacher during the learning process. The results indicate that the LKS uses language that is easy to understand and contains material that aligns with the curriculum, supporting students’ comprehension of literary text analysis. However, weaknesses were identified regarding the lack of variety in learning activities and the need to adjust the allotted time to avoid overburdening students. Recommendations for developing this teaching material include adding interactive activities and enriching the practice questions to better enhance student motivation and competence. These findings provide a crucial basis for revising and developing the LKS to be more effective and optimal in supporting the Indonesian Language and Literature learning process at the junior high school (SMP/MTs) level.
