Abstract

The aim of this research is to develop teaching materials for writing descriptive texts using a contextual approach assisted by photographic image media to increase interest in learning for class VII middle school students. This research method is Research and Development (R n D). Data was collected through observation, interviews and questionnaires. Instrument data processing procedures include validity tests, reliability tests, normality tests, homogeneity tests, and sample t-test correlations. From the development, special teaching materials were produced with contextual approach steps assisted by photography media to improve writing descriptive texts. The trial results prove that the product is effective in improving student learning outcomes with a significant difference of 80% compared to conventional methods. While the percentage of student activity in learning reached 85%, the average student response was 87%. Development of teaching materials with a new contextual approach applied to material for writing descriptive texts. The implication of this research is that it makes it easier for teachers to carry out the learning process of writing descriptive texts.
