Abstract

This study aims to develop teaching materials of economic
learning assessment through scientific approach. The research used Research
and Development (R&D) method that developed by Thiagarajan, Semmel,
and Semmel that includes defining phase, design stage, and development
stage. Data were collected from the assessment of three experts through an
expert validation sheet and responses from 40 students through student
response questionnaire. Data analysis using quantitative descriptive
technique. The result of the research showed that the teaching materials are
suitable for learning through the scientific approach on the course of the
Economic Learning Assessment. of material experts with an average score
of 89.47% (very good) and student response results with an average score of
86.45% (very good). Some suggestions from the experts include in the
teaching material description section added with illustrations in the form of
drawings or schemes; and equipped with concrete examples in accordance
with the contextual situation. While the suggestions from the students are
also in line with the advice of the expert team that is also equipped with
