This study used a development model in research that refered to the Four-D Model suggested by Thiagarajan which consists of 4 development stages, namely Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. The research data was analyzed using descriptive analysis. Product quality was assessed based on the input of the final results of validation from the validator of the feasibility of graphics and the feasibility of content and correlation of art material (batik). This research was conducted at SMA Negeri 2 Surabaya, with the research subjects of the eleven grade students. The research trial subjects taken for the sake of testing were 229 students, consisting of 6 classes, namely Class XI IPA 3 to XI IPA 8 with 32 students in each class and 1 social studies class with 37 students. The time of research was conducted from August 2019 to June 2020.
The process in developing tutorial book products was based on 4 stages in the Four-D development research model. First, defining stage which was based on the needs analysis to formulate product concepts and objectives. The second stage was designing that was done based on the concept of designing product development. Third, developing stage was based on the results of the assessment and feasibility of the tutorial book by the validator continued in the trial phase. The Disseminate stage was done based on the process of disseminating a product development and its impact widely. Based on the assessment of the quality of the tutorial book development research book by the validator, it was stated that it was very feasible to continue at the testing stage. In the results of trials in the learning of cultural arts, students were able to make batik motif work according to the material in the tutorial book. This gave an impact on increasing students' creativity and effectiveness in learning cultural arts based on procedural indicators of learning concepts offered from tutorial books. Students were able to explore themes based on their own sources of inspiration which were manifested in the visualization of batik motif designs such as transportation, culinary, environment, activities and so on. Therefore, from the results of its application, this tutorial book product can be a solution to the ineffectiveness of practical learning on batik material in learning cultural arts in high school.
