Abstract


Abstract Developing the Textbook of Classroom Action Research through Participatory Action Research Quality and Challenges. Objective This study collaboratively developed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) textbook and formatively evaluated its quality. Method: Using Participatory Action Research (PAR), this study collaborated with 29 teachers in Aceh to design, develop, and iteratively evaluate the textbook. During the design and development process, we formatively evaluated it through self-reflection, expert appraisal, questionnaires, and interviews to produce quality textbooks in terms of validity and practicality. Findings Results showed that although most teachers initially did not understand CAR, there was an increase in their understanding and interest in implementing CAR with the textbook guidelines. Besides, the textbook’s validity and practicality increased as expressed by the teachers. Conclusion Using PAR in writing CAR with the teacher improves the quality of the textbook, in terms of its validity and practicality.

Keywords teachers involvement, participatory action research, textbook quality.

Abstrak Pengembangan Buku Teks Penelitian Tindakan Kelas melalui Penelitian Tindakan Partisipatif Kualitas dan Tantangan. Tujuan Penelitian ini secara kolaboratif mengembangkan buku teks Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) dan mengevaluasi kualitasnya secara formatif. Metode Menggunakan Penelitian Tindakan Partisipatif (PAR), penelitian ini bekerja sama dengan 29 guru di Aceh untuk merancang, mengembangkan, dan mengevaluasi buku teks secara berulang. Selama proses desain dan pengembangan, kami mengevaluasi buku tersebut secara formatif melalui refleksi diri, penilaian ahli, kuesioner, dan wawancara untuk menghasilkan produk yang berkualitas dari segi validitas dan kepraktisan. Temuan Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun sebagian besar guru pada awalnya tidak memahami PTK, terjadi peningkatan pemahaman dan minat mereka dalam menerapkan PTK dengan pedoman buku teks. Selain itu, validitas dan kepraktisan buku teks meningkat sebagaimana dirasakan para guru. Kesimpulan Menggunakan PAR dalam menulis PTK dengan guru meningkatkan kualitas buku teks, dari segi validitas dan kepraktisannya.

Kata kunci: keterlibatan guru, penelitian tindakan partisipatif (PAR), kualitas buku teks.
