Abstract

This study aims to develop a Local Wisdom-Based Student Worksheet (LKPD) for Indonesian language learning to improve reading comprehension skills of fourth grade elementary school students. This research used the Research and Development (R&D) method with the 4D model consisting of define, design, develop, and disseminate stages. The subjects of this study were fourth grade students of SDN 009 Baturijal Hilir. Data collection techniques were conducted through expert validation questionnaires, teacher and student response questionnaires, and reading comprehension tests using pretest and posttest. The developed product integrates local wisdom content from the Peranap area, such as the story of the origin of Peranap and Masjid Raja, into reading comprehension materials. The validation results showed that the developed LKPD obtained an average score of 98.5% from material experts, 97.05% from media experts, and 77.5% from language experts, indicating that the product is highly valid and feasible. The practicality test showed that the one-to-one trial obtained a score of 93.75%, limited trials obtained 88.81%, and teacher responses reached 95.83%, all categorized as very practical. Furthermore, the effectiveness test using N-Gain analysis obtained an average score of 0.74 in the high category, indicating a significant improvement in students' reading comprehension skills after using the LKPD. Therefore, the local wisdom-based LKPD developed is considered valid, practical, and effective for improving reading comprehension skills of fourth grade elementary school students.
