Furthermore, one lecturer from Ganesha University of Education was also selected as expert judge to judge the quality of product being developed. The data were collected by means of observation, interview, administering questionnaire, and document study, and were analyzed descriptively. The results of the study showed that there were six basic competences in seventh grade which were developed into 8 different projects as a product of recent research. Meanwhile, there were ten character values that were smoothly practiced and inserted into project activities. Moreover, regarding the quality of the product, the findings showed that the mean score of the developed materials was 4.54, exceeding the interval score of 4.05 ( ). This indicates that the developed material was categorized as excellent material and the product had represented what was suggested by the theory proposed by Thomas which was used as a grand theory in recent study. Thus, it can be concluded that the developed materials are applicable to the implementation of Curriculum 2013.
