Abstract

This research aimed to: (1) develop a pocket book on professional ethics and attitude for beauticians; and (2) determine the feasibility of the developed pocket book. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). The define stage involved analyzing problems and identifying needs in the field. The design stage focused on developing the concept and structure of the book. The develop stage included product creation, expert validation, revision, and limited-scale testing. The disseminate stage involved distributing the product to a broader audience. The results showed that: (1) the developed product is a pocket book designed as a practical guide for beauticians, with A6 size, pink-themed design, and 42 pages; (2) the feasibility test results indicated high validity, with scores of 86.7% from the supervisor, 90.9% from the material expert, and 94.3% from the media expert. User acceptance testing involving 30 respondents resulted in a score of 93.3%. Overall, the product was categorized as highly feasible.
