INTRODUCTION 

Learning resources can be interpreted as everything that can be utilized to help achieve 

the learning goal. According to Waste, quoted by Prastowo (2014: 126), learning resources 

are divided into two kinds: (1) learning resources by utilization and (2) learning resources by 

design. Learning resources are utilized in everything around us that can be utilized for learning 

purposes—examples: newspapers, television broadcasts, markets, museums, zoos, mosques, 

and religious leaders. At the same time, the source of learning is designed as a learning 

resource that is intentionally planned and made to achieve specific learning goals. Examples: 

package books, worksheets, modules, manuals, transparencies, films, encyclopedias, 

brochures, strip films, slides, and videos.  

Textbooks or commonly known as a book, are the most commonly used learning 

resources. Textbooks are learning resources designed deliberately to achieve specific learning 

goals. Achievement of learning objectives carried out through learning activities every day. 

The learning activities delivered learning materials often referred to as teaching materials. This 

collection of materials is usually the content of the textbook. The teaching materials 

themselves have specific criteria in the selection. Quality criteria of teaching materials include 

feasibility (validity), practicality, and effectiveness (Furidaniyah and Mersigit, 2012). Eligibility 

criteria refer to the validity of a material to be displayed. The material must be completely 

valid and validated. Practical criteria are easily understood in the material. Effective criteria 

mean that material must be able to give a deep impression when taught. 

On July 15, 2015, a new curriculum was introduced, the Curriculum 2013. 

Implementing Curriculum 2013 in elementary school is conducted in the first, second, fourth,

and fifth grades (BNSP: 2014). In connection with this, the Ministry of National Education and 

Culture, in cooperation with the Center of Curriculum and Books (Puskurbuk), has published 

a book based on Curriculum 2013 based on teacher books and student books. The 2013 

Curriculum-based package book is expected to help students achieve learning purposes. 

However, after its use for two years, the textbooks that Puskurbuk published did not 

meet the demands in Curriculum 2013. The statement by Harta is disclosed in an article on 5 

October 2013 on the official website Kompasiana. "This book (red: student book) in meeting 

the curriculum of the 2013 Curriculum that the book should be work based (seen from the 

teacher's book) because the student's book contains the theory." "There are a lot of 

misconceptions and obscure concepts .....". Another article found complaints related to Core 

Competence (KD) and indicators. "There is a KD in the syllabus, and the book Curriculum 

2013 is not under the Ministerial Regulation ..... there is KD that is not contained in the syllabus 

or book Curriculum 2013 ... KD charge per subprocessor is not proportional .. weak in 

understanding KD and formulating indicators .. . "This statement was delivered by Practica on 

October 22, 2014, on the official website Kompasiana. Minister of Education and Culture 

Anies Baswedan, in an article on the official site of Sindo newspaper, revealed that "...... 

mistakes are so severe, such as not synchronizing KD material with what is in the hands of 

students." Curriculum observers, Retno Listysarti also revealed the similar in the same article 

"..... between the syllabus document, KD and the book is out of sync."  

This study aimed to determine the suitability of fourth-grade students' books based on 

the 2013 Curriculum on the theme "Pahlawanku" with KD, indicators, activities, materials, 

tools, and learning resources. Conformities and non-conformities found will be used to 

provide consideration for improvement for various related parties. The fourth-grade student's 

book based on the 2013 curriculum on the theme "Pahlawanku" is divided into three sub-

themes with six lessons in each sub-theme. This article is limited to fourth-grade students' 

books based on the 2013 Curriculum on the theme "Pahlawanku" sub-theme 2 "Pahlawanku 

Kebanggaanku" in lesson five. This article is the eleventh part of eighteen articles from this 

research. 

 

METHOD 

This research uses a descriptive qualitative method by analyzing the contents of 

documents related to the research problem, namely: the fourth-grade student's book theme 

"Pahlawanku" subtheme "Pahlawan Kebangganku" on lesson five based on Curriculum 2013 

and the fourth-grade teacher's book theme "Pahlawanku" subtheme "Pahlawan Kebangganku"

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 

Tabel 3. Analysis result of fourth grade students’ book  theme “Pahlawanku” subtheme 

“Pahlawanku Kebangganku” on lesson five. 
Lesson 5 Discrepancy 1. Indicators of PPKn subject need to add according to KD. 

2. Learning materials about flag ceremonies do not appear. 

3. Learning materials about obligation do not appear. 

 

Lesson five on the theme “Pahlawanku”, the sub-theme “Pahlawanku Kebanggaanku” 

consists of IPS, PPKn, Bahasa Indonesia and SBdP subjects. The mapping is based on the 

explanation in the General Guidelines for KTSP by BSNP (2006:15). SK, which in the 2013 

Curriculum is called Core Competencies (KI), needs to be studied by taking into account the 

following: (1) the order based on the hierarchy of concepts of disciplines and the level of 

difficulty of the material, does not always have to be following the order in the Content 

Standards (SI); (2) the relationship between SK and KD subjects; and (3) the relationship 

between SK and KD between subjects. Although the discussion of the BSNP article refers to 

the use of the 2006 KTSP, in principle, the KD mapping must be presented following the 

relevance and difficulty level of the material between subjects. 

IPS subjects using KD 3.1 and 4.1 contain materials about Ir. Soekarno. PPKn subject 

using KD 3.2 and 4.2 contains material about flag ceremony and value of flag ceremony. Bahasa 

Indonesia subject using KD 3.5 and 4.5 contain material about getting, processing, and serving 

information from text. SBdP subject using KD 3.2 and 4.5 contain material about the tone and 

sound of Hari Merdeka song.

Figure 1. Mapping of competencies and indicators of lesson five 

 
Table 3 shows the results of the analysis of students' books in lesson five. Point 1 states 

that the indicators for PPKn subjects should be added according to the KD. PPKn subjects 

use KD 3.2 and 4.2. KD 3.2 reads to understand the rights and obligations of citizens in 

everyday life at home, school, and in society. KD 4.2 reads carrying out obligations as citizens 

in the home, school, and social environment. There are three indicators used: 1) explaining 

the obligations during the flag ceremony, 2) explaining the importance of carrying out 

ceremonial obligations, and 3) telling about his experience doing the task in the flag ceremony. 

In the indicators, it can be seen that the limitation of the material is only the obligation of the 

flag ceremony in the scope of the school. While following the breadth of KD, indicators are 

expected to cover the home, school, and community environment. If it is limited to the scope 

of the school, there are many types of obligations that students can carry out in the school 

environment. So it is necessary to add indicators following the scope of KD. 

Point 2 in table 3 of the analysis results states that the presentation material section 

on the importance of the flag ceremony does not appear. The presentation of material about 

the flag ceremony only appears in a short dialogue on the student book, pages 68-69. 

Meanwhile, in the learning objectives of point 6, students are expected to be able to explain 

the importance of the flag ceremony in detail. Thus, it is necessary to add material that 

contains the importance of the flag ceremony for students and its value. 

The analysis of lesson five at point 3 in table 3 shows that the material on obligations 

does not appear much. In the learning objectives of point 7, students are expected to carry 

out the obligations of the flag ceremony correctly. The material that emerged was about 



125 |JISAE (Journal of Indonesian Student Assessment and Evaluation) |Volume 8 Number 2 

attitudes during the flag ceremony. Thus the material provided is not following the learning 

objectives set.

CONCLUSION 

Based on the discussion, conclusions can be drawn. 

1. The learning activity of lesson five corresponds with core competencies. 
2. Indicators of PPKN subject on lesson five do not correspond with core competencies. 

The indicators are to narrow according to the scope of core competencies. 

3. The learning activity of lesson five corresponds with the learning objectives. 
4. There are learning objectives that do not appear in learning activities. 
5. There are some materials to narrow down on lesson five. This matter is according to 

point four, where one of the learning objectives does not appear in learning activities. 

6. The learning activity of lesson five corresponds with tools and learning resources. 
 Based on this conclusion, we can deduce that some problems from this book should 

be repaired. Researchers suggest improvement of fourth-grade students' books according to 

the conclusion. Researchers also suggest that teachers who use this book for learning guidance 

must carefully ensure the suitability of materials and learning activities. The teacher can also 

use another learning resource to complete any matter of this book.
