INTRODUCTION
Literary works, in their various forms such as novels, short stories, and poems, have long been an integral part of cultural treasures and are widely known by the public.
Poetry, in particular, stands out for the beauty of diction as well as the depth of meaning implied in it, making it one of the most cherished forms of artistic expression.
Poetry is a written literary work that utilizes diction, contains implicit meanings, and has high aesthetic value, (Diki Lesmana et al.
, 2023.
Elisa et al.
, 2.
However, amid the popularity of modern poetry, there is an old literary genre known as "folk poetry" that may not have received equal attention and understanding among the general public.
This folk poem includes various types that are rich in oral traditions, such as pantun, gurindam, and poetry.
The main characteristic of folk poetry is its anonymous nature, where its creator is often unknown, reflecting a collective heritage that develops from generation to generation.
Folk poetry plays a fundamental role in efforts to preserve the nation's cultural treasures, especially as a heritage of past literature that is full of local values and traditional wisdom.
Therefore, mastery of this material is essential for the younger generation.
However, it is realized that the material of folk poetry is often considered difficult by most students, especially because of their lack of exposure and familiarity with literary forms that are not commonly found in daily life.
This condition demands innovation in learning methods and media that are not only able to facilitate students' understanding effectively, but can also increase their enthusiasm and ease in mastering the intricacies of folk poetry.
The use of media in learning activities has been proven to increase students' interest and motivation, create fun teaching and learning activities, and hone language skills, (Adawiyah et al.
, 2024.
Hadi & Hermawan, 2.
Departing from this urgency, this research specifically pays attention to the deepening of the characteristics of folk poetry.
The selection of this topic is based on the observation that discussions of the characteristics of folk poetry are relatively rarely explored in depth in the context of learning, although this topic has significant potential for appeal and high cultural relevance.
The main purpose of this research is to equip grade VII students of Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTS) with a comprehensive understanding of folk poetry.
This understanding includes the ability to identify different types of folk poetry, recognize the distinctive characteristics of each type, understand the purpose behind the creation of folk poetry, and analyze the linguistic elements contained in it.
Furthermore, students are also expected to be able to apply this theoretical understanding to produce written works in the form of folk poems, as well as have the ability to interpret the messages and values contained in the folk poems they read.
This research was carried out at MTs Al-Muhtadun Blitar, an educational institution that has implemented the Independent Curriculum, so it is very relevant to the folk poetry material that is the focus of the study.
Early observations suggest that today's prevalent learning practices often rely on conventional textbooks, or occasionally use digital devices such as mobile phones and laptops with the support of online applications such as Canva and YouTube.
However, the use of this technology is often faced with a number of technical obstacles, such as fluctuations in internet network stability or limited access to personal devices for all students.
This situation indicates an urgent need for learning media that is not only innovative but also more accessible and can operate optimally regardless of the available digital infrastructure.
In response to these challenges, this research focuses on the development of a new learning media named "Kincir Cipurak" .
n acronym for 'characteristics of folk poetry').
The Cipurak Cirque Learning Media is based on the independent curriculum, especially for class VII folk poetry material semester 1 in the phase D category at the junior high school level.
The learning of folk poetry includes several types, such as pantun, poetry, and gurindam, (Saffawati, 2.
This media is specifically designed with the philosophy of 'learning while playing' to create a more enjoyable learning experience and arouse students' enthusiasm for learning.
With the integration of interesting interactive and visual elements.
Kincir Cipurak is expected to be able to transform students' perception of folk poetry material that may have previously felt monotonous or boring, into an interesting and participatory Furthermore, this media is also designed to facilitate the role of teachers in evaluating students' understanding effectively at the end of the learning session.
The implementation of tactical interactive learning media increases learning effectiveness, (Hadi & Hermawan, 2.
Overall, this research has two main objectives: first, to develop the Cipurak Cirque learning media for folk poetry characteristics material for grade VII students.
and second, conducting a comprehensive assessment of the feasibility of the media based on valuable input from experts in Yayasan Amanah Nur Aman Aldina Dwi Nurani et.

Folk Poetry Material Class VII MTs Al-Muhtadun Jabung Talun Blitar their fields as well as from the perspective of students as direct users.
Through the implementation of this media, it is hoped that there will be a significant increase in students' interest and motivation to learn about folk poetry.
In addition.
Kincir Cipurak is also expected to provide a variety of new teaching methodologies that enrich teachers' strategic repertoire in delivering materials, thereby creating a more dynamic and productive learning environment.
RESEARCH METHODS
The selection of a development model in a study is a crucial decision that must be carefully adjusted to the purpose and characteristics of the product to be produced.
In the context of this 'Kincir Cipurak' media development research, the researcher deliberately chose to adopt a structured research and development (R&D) method based on the 4D Model.
This selection is based on the belief that the 4D Model is the most relevant and comprehensive framework for developing learning media products, given its systematic approach that is able to guide the entire process from the identification of needs to the evaluation of the usefulness of the final product.
The 4D model, also known as the Thiagarajan model, is widely recognized as an effective development framework for learning media due to its logical, progressive, and adaptive structure to the specific needs of learners, (Indaryanti et , 2025.
Syam & Furwana, 2.
This 4D research model is composed of four main stages that are carried out sequentially and integrally, namely:
Define This stage is a crucial initial foundation, aiming to identify and formulate precisely the definition of essential needs in the learning process.
Activities in this stage include in-depth needs assessment of students' learning problems, curriculum analysis to ensure alignment of the material with competency standards, and study of students' characteristics to understand their learning styles and preferences.
In addition, at this stage, various relevant information that has a significant correlation with the learning media product 'Kincir Cipurak' will be developed, including a literature review on the effectiveness of interactive media and the concept of folk Design Once the needs are clearly defined, the next stage is design.
The main focus at this stage is to design a prototype of the 'Kincir Cipurak' media for materials characteristic of folk poetry types for grade VII students of junior high school/MTs.
The design process includes determining media formats, selecting visual and interactive elements, writing material content that is in accordance with the applicable curriculum, and designing an intuitive and attractive user Aesthetic, functional, and pedagogical considerations are prioritized to ensure that media design is not only engaging but also effective in facilitating student understanding.
Development The development stage is the realization phase of the design that has been made.
The main purpose of this stage is to produce an output in the form of a prototype of the 'Cipurak Wheel' media that has undergone repairs and revisions.
The development process is iterative, where the initial prototype will be evaluated and refined based on constructive input from experts in their fields .
ubject matter experts, media expert.
as well as through a series of trials limited to students.
The input and data obtained from the validation and trials are the basis for improvements, ensuring that the media produced meets the expected standards of feasibility and effectiveness.
Disseminate As the final stage of the 4D Model, dissemination aims to disseminate the final product that has been refined and proven to be suitable for use.
This stage includes a strategy for publication or socialization of 'Kincir Cipurak' learning media to a wider audience, such as the teacher community, other schools, or educational platforms, with the hope that this media can be optimally utilized to improve the quality of learning folk poetry more broadly.
Dissemination ensures that the results of this development process do not stop at the research environment, but can make a real contribution to educational practice.
Each stage in this 4D development model holds a specific and essential function, and must be carried out sequentially and with high integrity.
Compliance with each stage and careful implementation is an absolute prerequisite to ensure the achievement of optimal research results Yayasan Amanah Nur Aman Aldina Dwi Nurani et.
