The Development of Food Enterpreneur e-Module Using Flipbook

Abstract

Introduction:The food entrepreneurship e-module is needed by students to make it easier to understand the learning and practice of food entrepreneurship. The research objective is to develop a food entrepreneurship ebook using the Flip Book PDF application. Method: The research was carried out at Medan State University. The food entrepreneurship e-module media was validated by media experts and education experts. The e-module media trial sample consisted of 10 Culinary Education and Nutrition students. E-module validation and trial data were collected using research instruments. The trial was carried out twice, namely pretest and the posttest. Data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis. This type of research is development research (R&D) with the model used is the Four-D (4D) model which consists of four (4) stages, namely Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. Results: Define the stage by identifying problems and finding students' entrepreneurial motivation is lacking (77%) because they are still afraid to try entrepreneurial practices independently and have no experience. Identification of teaching materials is carried out by literature study. At the design stage, several activities are carried out such as creating a semester learning plan, designing learning materials, designing assessment and evaluation instruments, and compiling systematic entrepreneurship-based modules. The development stage uses the CASE concept (creative, active, systematic, and effective) with the PDF flipbook application. The module consists of 7 chapters. The modules that have been developed are then validated by education and media experts. The average expert validation results are relatively high (90.8). The trial was carried out with the results of an increase in sample knowledge in the pretest and posttest with an average pretest knowledge of 61% and increasing to 81% after using the food entrepreneurship e-module.
