Indonesia faces the biggest challenge in education. Various problems have arisen including teachers not yet utilizing technology optimally in learning. Teachers in schools still maintain conventional learning. Actions to motivate teachers are needed so that integrated learning of information technology can be implemented well. This is in accordance with the demands of the industrial revolution 4.0 in the learning process where teachers and students together make innovations including the use of information technology-based learning media. To find out how deep the teacher's understanding of the preparation of information technology-based learning media in the revolution era 4.0, analysis in the form of quantitative data presented descriptively is needed.
The process of integrating various components and activities is needed to create quality education. The effort that can be done is the innovation of teaching materials used in learning. Physics is quite difficult to master by students because it requires practicum to understand it. To make it easier for students to understand the material, it is necessary to develop an e-book containing videos, animations, and images that can support students’ understanding. Therefore, an in-depth literature review is needed to see the effectiveness of using e-book in learning.
This paper reports how potential users are involved in the design of interactive learning media. This paper describes the responses of teachers and students about how learning media are applied in schools, a detailed description of the desired learning media and how learning media contribute to improve student learning outcomes. This research used quantitative and qualitative methods. The instruments were questionnaires and interview sheets for teachers and students. The data from research instruments of students included learning styles, responses to using learning media in the classroom, and responses to HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skill) questions. The data from the teachers included their activities in the opening, core, and closure activity. In general, the media was expected to increase the enthusiasm and motivation of students in learning. For this reason, learning media that contains challenging questions and multimedia that attract students’ attention are developed based on media development indicators.
Along with the development of technology, the education system began to change from face-to-face learning to blended learning. Blended learning uses a combination of print and digital learning media. Most digital learning resources are e-books that replace the function of printed books and the role of the teacher in the classroom. The focus of research in this paper is how e-books can improve student skills in the 21st century. There has been a number of researches related to e-books and their use in high schools. In-depth literature study is needed to get a conclusion on how e-books affect students’ skills, especially after studying Physics. This research provides invaluable insight into how educators were maximizing the use of e-books so as to improve student learning outcomes which in turn impact 21st century skills. These studies describe a lot of data which enables other researchers to understand how teachers use and wish to use e-books. The analysis of these empirical results is used as the basis for developing e-books that have effective content and features that are relevant to e-book literacy.
Teachers have an important role in education. To support it, teachers should have good profess sionalism especially in writing articles. In fact, many teachers are not proficient in writing articles because they do not have enough knowledge about it. Teachers need such training for increasing their experience in writing. After that, the progress will be seen. The research method is descriptive quantitative. The data in this research is quantitative data. The type of data is the primary data. A data collection technique in this study is questionnaires. Data processing techniques used include editing, coding, tabulation, and scoring. Data analysis technique is descriptive analysis percentage. After doing the training, the teachers have more knowledge and interest of writing articles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
