Abstract:
This study aims to (1) describe the design of the teaching module, (2) develop the teaching module,
(3) explore the quality of the teaching module, and (4) produce a practical teaching module, "Writing
Argumentative Texts" for Indonesian Language Subjects to support learning at Junior High School in
Gorontalo City. The research method is Research and Development (R&D). Data was collected by
conducting a needs analysis through field observations and interviews with students and teachers of
SMP Negeri 6 Gorontalo City in 2022 concerning Teaching Modules for Writing Argumentative Texts
in Indonesian Language Subjects used in the learning process, difficulties experienced during carrying
out the learning process, and material that students have not mastered. Data were analyzed using
quantitative descriptive statistics. The results showed that all aspects of the module assessment,
including linguistic, visual, content feasibility, and presentation, met the applicable and valid criteria
with an average of 3.77. The results of the first and second phase trials showed that the teaching
modules were attractive to students. In addition, the evaluation results of the test subjects met the
specified Minimum Completeness Criteria so that it could be concluded that each test subject could
understand the material for writing argumentation texts. These results show that the module was
effectively used in a limited trial of two small groups. Thus, the teaching module developed is valid,
practical, and effective for learning Indonesian in the material of writing argumentative texts.
