Abstract

One of the determining factors for success in learning is the availability of quality teaching materials. The module in this case is the Indonesian language and literature module, not only a means to achieve language and literature competency standards, but also as a medium to develop character, culture, and the environment. In the KTSP concept it is stated that the development of teaching materials/modules must pay attention to the potential of the environment, on the basis of which the development of modules must integrate aspects of the environment where the learners live. By starting from the environment, learning will be easier and it is hoped that the potential of the environment around the learners' homes can be explored and developed. This research was conducted to produce a product in the form of a module for learning Indonesian language and literature Package C equivalent to class X semester 1 at SKB Sukamulya, Cigugur District, Kuningan Regency. The approach used in this research is the Borg and Gall model research and development approach. However, due to time constraints, this development research only carried out six stages, namely (1) theoretical and practical analysis; (2) analysis of the contextual environment of the learners; (3) analysis of the needs of tutors and learners; (4) preparation of a module prototype; (5) expert and tutor assessment, as well as revision and; (6) module effectiveness test. The results of this development research can be presented as follows. (1) The characteristics of the contextual environment of the learners of Package C SKB Sukamulya, Cigugur District, Kuningan Regency are an environment based on agriculture and plantations, tourism, animal husbandry and fisheries, as well as small, medium, and creative industries.
