Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum assumed the integration of local wisdom into teaching materials because it contained noble values that could develop knowledge to shape students' character and increase their motivation to learn. English teachers at SMA Negeri 1 Alasa still used general teaching materials and had not specifically incorporated the local wisdom of the Nias tribe. One of the Nias local wisdoms that could be integrated into English learning was folktales in the form of legends for Narrative Text material. Thus, this research aimed to produce visual book teaching materials based on local wisdom that were suitable and practical to use. This research used the Research and Development method, employing the 4D development model. The results showed that the visual book teaching materials developed by the researcher were very suitable and practical to use, as evidenced by the results of the validation and practicality questionnaires. Validation results by language experts, with an average score of 4, were in the very feasible category with a percentage of 100%. Validation results by media experts, with an average score of 3.8, were in the very feasible category with a percentage of 95%. Validation results by material experts, with an average score of 3.86, were in the very feasible category with a percentage of 96.66%. The results of the practicality test by teachers and students were in the very practical category, with the highest percentage being 100% and the lowest percentage being 88.66%.

Abstract

This research aims to find out the effect of Wisata Alam Indonesia application on user experience using Usability Testing and the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) method. The study focuses on 6th semester students of class A from the English Education Study Program at Universitas Nias. Data were collected using a questionnaire that measures six scale: attractiveness, efficiency, perspicuity, dependability, stimulation, and novelty and five components of usability testing: learnability, efficiency, memorability, errors, satisfaction. The research findings show that the Wisata Alam Indonesia application has a positive effect on user experience, with the highest scores in attractiveness (mean score = 4.73) and novelty (mean score = 10.15). However, areas such as efficiency (mean score = 3.65) and perspicuity (mean score = 3.19) present opportunities for improvement. The overall average score for user experience was 46.42, while the usability testing of the application revealed a mean score of 45.00. The correlation coefficient (r = 0.896) indicates a very strong positive relationship between the usability of the application (Wisata Alam Indonesia) and user experience. The hypothesis testing results support this conclusion, with the t-test showing thitung = 9.911 > ttabel = 2.063 and the F-test indicating Fhitung = 98.228 > Ftabel = 4.259, both of which confirm the rejection of H0 and acceptance of Ha. These results suggest that the Wisata Alam Indonesia application can enhance user satisfaction, but adjustments in certain usability components could further improve the experience.
