Digital Teaching Materials of Poetry Texts Based on the Creative Process

Abstract

This study aims to overcome the problem of the quality of Indonesian language learning outcomes in poetry text material at the SMP/MTs level as a recovery for learning loss and the limitations of teaching materials that are easily accessible outside the classroom. Learning poetry text material can encourage students to express thoughts, feelings and ideas through language that is beautiful, rhythmic, has literary values and politeness. The development of digital teaching materials for Poetry Texts in SMP/MTs is very important because at the age of teenagers like them, the ability to express ideas, thoughts and feelings is directed at developing creativity. Teaching materials that are developed based on the creative process as carried out by poets or the poet's experience will be able to encourage students to develop the skills to express their ideas, feelings and thoughts into poetry well. The research method used is research and development. This research started from a study of the need for digital teaching materials for poetry texts that can be presented through online learning. From a study of Indonesian language teachers at junior high school and MTs levels in Cirebon Regency, it is known that 97% of teachers need teaching materials that can develop students' creative abilities, because 93% of them experience difficulties in guiding students to produce poetry containing ideas, feelings and opinion by paying attention to the building blocks of poetry. Next, an analysis of research results was carried out regarding the creative process carried out by poets, namely (1) absorbing information; (2) processing and persevering; (3) get or produce creative ideas; (4) reflect creative ideas into the work; (5) carry out elaboration. The next stage is to develop digital poetry text teaching materials for SMP/MTs based on a creative process. From the results of expert validation, it is known that the digital teaching material 'Poetic Text Based on the Creative Process' is suitable for use. Based on extensive trials in 129 schools in Cirebon City, Cirebon Regency, Majalengka, Kuningan and Indramayu, it is known that the digital poetry text teaching material model for SMP/MTs which was developed based on a creative process is effective in achieving learning outcomes.
