This document discusses research and development (R&D) in education. It defines R&D as research aimed at developing educational products like curriculums and textbooks. The R&D process involves identifying classroom problems, reviewing theories, developing instructional materials based on those theories, validating products with experts, testing products on a small scale, revising based on results, and publishing the final product. Examples of R&D research questions focus on determining what content and activities to include, when to teach materials, appropriate teaching techniques, and assessment methods. In conclusion, R&D is used to produce educational products that can improve instruction and increase student achievement.

3. A. Definitionof Educational Research and
Development
ER&D (R&D) is a research design aimed
at developing educational products like
curriculum, syllabus, text books,
instructional media, modules,
assessment instruments, etc.

4. B. Process of Research and Development
1. Classroom problems related to
instructional documents.
2. Theories, principles, criteria of
effective instructional
supporting documents are reviewed
from theories (related
references), teachers
conferences, discussion with
colleagues.

5. 3. The development of theselected instructionalor the document
and considered as the problem should be based on therelated
principles, theories, or criteria thathave been studied.
4. The researcher should review the product closely to make sure
whetherall the appropriate principles have been applied in
developing theproduct.

6. 5. The products should be validated
to the expert.
6. Doing try our for the
instructional product in a small
scale then revised it based on the
result.
7. The final product is published.

7. C. Examples of Research Questions in R&D
Research
A thesis of Iftanti, 2007
1. What materials and activities
been to be included in RC 2 in
order to meet the goals and the
objectives of RC 2?
2. When are those materials taught?

8. 3. What kinds of teaching learning
activities and techniques are
appropriate to be applied in the
teaching of RC 2?
4. What assessment appropriate to
be applied in evaluating the
students’ reading skills?

9. D. ConcludingRemark
Research & development is a
research design used to produce
educational products that can be
used to improve the quality of
instructional activities and
increase the quality of students'
academic achievement.

10. The products that can developed
include the syllabus, the teaching
materials etc.
