Investigasi keterbacaan bahan ajar bahasa Jawa jenjang sekolah dasar: Analisis grafik Fry dan teknik Klose Investigation of the readability of Javanese language teaching materials elementary school level: Fry graph analysis and Klose technique
Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the degree of readability of fourth-grade Javanese textbooks used in East Java, Indonesia. The data provided from 20 pupils, 7 of whom were male and 13 of whom were female, between the ages of 10 and 12. Primary school textbooks and worksheets were the source of the secondary data. To ascertain the textbooks' degree of readability, the data was examined using the Klose approach and Fry's Graph. The Javanese language textbook that was used had a score of 9.285 according to the data analysis results, indicating that it has higher expectations for fourth graders. While the klose technique classifies the textbook as frustrating, meaning it is too difficult for grade IV elementary school students to understand, the analysis results indicate that the textbook is appropriate for grades 6 (elementary school), 7, and 8 (junior high school). The teacher team must pay attention to this when creating or selecting Javanese language textbooks for fourth-grade elementary school pupils, particularly in East Java.
