Abstract

Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) is a learning approach that facilitates learning according to the ability level of each student. To explore the understanding of pre-service teachers regarding teaching materials with the TaRL approach, researchers conducted qualitative research with the subjects of 9 students from the students of pre-service teachers of Pendidikan Profesi Guru (PPG)/Teacher Professional Program. Teaching materials with the TaRL approach made by the subjects are studied more deeply and measured through 9 indicators of suitability of teaching materials based on the TaRL approach. Furthermore, each subject was interviewed to get more detailed findings regarding the pre-service teacher's understanding of TaRL-based teaching materials. Based on the results of studies and interviews, it was found that all subjects did not make teaching materials that were in accordance with students' abilities and did not make indicators to identify students who needed special handling. Pre-service teachers who understand the concept of TaRL tend to meet all indicators in making teaching materials that are in accordance with TaRL principles. Further research is needed to find gaps in the difficulty of pre-service PPG teachers in formulating teaching materials needed by students according to their perspective levels of understanding.
