Specifically, the research tries to describe (1) validity, practicality, and the effectiveness of teaching materials which are used for a learning outcome evaluation. This research was developmental research using a 4- P model design. This design consisted of 4 stages, namely defining, designing, developing, and dissemination. The results of the defining stage were used to design teaching materials. Then, the draft of the design was validated and tested. The teaching materials were tried and examined to students in accounting education who were currently studying in the third semester with an eye to study and evaluate the learning results. The teaching materials which were considered feasible and effective were then distributed to other classes to test their effectiveness before spread out more widely. The results revealed that (1) the teaching materials that were developed in this research were valid. The average total validity of the lesson plan (RPP) and the teaching materials were 4.14 and 3.95 respectively. Practically, these average scores mean effective in terms of the ability of the lecturers to carry out the lesson, the level of student activities, the learning mastery, and student’s positive responses.
