“…Column B and eBook Sig shows the range of 5.573 points which means that if students use eBooks, their learning outcomes will be higher by 5.573 points compared to those using printed books. It can be concluded that the use of eBooks in rural schools is able to further improve students' learning outcomes compared to the use of printed book s. Some of the studies that support these findings are those of Lai (2016), Liaw & Huang (2014), Chen (2013), Bradshaw (2005), Goodwin (2014), Woo (2011), Massis (2010, Bronshteyn (2007), deNoyelles & Seilhamer (2013), Tucker (2012), Letchumanan & Muniandy (2016), Rojeski (2012), and Parkes (2007). The results that contradict these findings explain that the printed book is still relevant (Jeong, 2012;Katsarska, 2005;Lewellen, Bischof, & Plum, 2016;Nwagwu & Okafor, 2014;Darsono, Wi narno, & Slamet, 2018).…”

This article is an advanced research from previous research, which aimed to test the use of eBooks and printed books in the schools outside urban areas. This study employed a quantitative approac h, using the General Linear Model (GML) through Univariate analysis technique. The data-collec tion Instruments were the students' learning outcomes' documents. The data obtained were processed using IBM S PS S S tatistic 21. The results showed the value of S ig (0.000) < α (0.05) so that H0 is rejected. Hence, there is an influence of teaching materials on the students' learning outcomes. Covariant analysis results in column B by 5.573 points showed that the learning outcomes of the students who used eBooks were higher by 5.573 points than those using printed books. This study employs that rural schools also experience the impac t of digitalization era in the modern learning era, as evidenced by the effectiveness of using eBooks which is higher than that of using printed books. Limited fac ilities are not the main thing in improving the quality of learning.

“…Apart from that, the quality of learning materials is also important in ODL. According to Woo (2011), modules in OUM comprise a number of good HTML characteristics. Those characteristics are 1) html module should allow nonlinear learning; 2) encourage exploratory learning; 3) respect different learning styles; 4) state learning outcomes; 5) communicate high expectation; and 6) promote interaction and interactivity.…”

She also added that although she found some researchers who are doubtful about interaction in ODL, while others believe that ODL and Overall Program Structure from ODL Students' Perspective programs can be more interactive than traditional one with proper interaction design (Woo, 2011).…”

Open Distance Learning (ODL) is an approach in education practices in Open University Malaysia (OUM). One of its programs that are offered through ODL is the Bachelor of Psychology (BPSY) and it is one of the programs with the highest student intake in OUM. Since the program has been commencing for more than 10 years, it is the time to evaluate whether the program needs any revisions or improvements. Thus, the aim of the study is to determine the level of satisfaction of students on the Psychology program offered in OUM. A questionnaire was developed for this purpose which includes 4 areas of students' satisfaction, namely the learning materials, student perceptions on their tutors, assessment matters, as well as the overall program structure. The questionnaires were distributed to more than 1000 active students through online and face-to-face tutorials. A total of 439 students participated in the study. The results indicated that students are most satisfied with the overall program structure and least satisfied with the assessment matters with the mean score of 3.98 and 3.59 respectively. The study certainly benefits the university in taking action to revise and improve the program. Recommendation for future research is included at the end of the paper.

“…The effectiveness of the use of experiential learning-based teaching material in Mathematics in improving the student cognitive ability is supported by the relevant researches. The researches carried out by Amir, et al [19], and Woo [20] prove that the learning which uses the teaching material can improve the student learning result. The researches which also conducted by Tanaka, et al [21], Matias and Gonzalez [22], Arthur and Raine [23], and Judge, et al [24] prove that experiential learning can give the good opportunity for the students and the student will be interested in the learning process since they are given the concrete examples in the daily life.…”

This research was aimed at finding out the effectiveness of experiential learning-based teaching material in Mathematics on the Mathematics cognitive ability of the fifth-grade student in elementary school. This research used quasi-experimental design involving two sample groups: experiment and control group. The sampling technique in this research used simple random sampling. The subject of this research was 54 students from the fifth-grade elementary school in Gunungpati Sub-district in the academic year 2017/2018. This study involved 28 students of the fifth-grade elementary school Nongkosawit 02 as the experimental group and 26 students of the fifth-grade elementary school Sadeng 03 as the control group. The instrument used in this research was multiple choice test consisting of 30 questions. The test was used to obtain pretest and posttest score.The data analysis in this research used T-independent test to examine the hypothesis. The result of the study shows the significance level of 0.000 is less than α = 0.05 which means that there is different cognitive ability between the experimental and control group. Thus, the use of experiential learning-based teaching material in Mathematics is effective to improve the Mathematics cognitive ability of the fifth-grade student in elementary school.
