DEVELOPMENT OF FLIPBOOK-BASED INTERACTIVE E-MODULE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS' UNDERSTANDING OF GRADE X VOCATIONAL SCHOOL WORK PRACTICE MATERIAL

Abstract

The limited availability of interactive learning media in vocational schools can impede students’ comprehension of bench work procedures prior to conducting practical activities. This study sought to develop a Flipbook-based interactive e-module equipped with multimedia elements to enhance Grade X vocational students’ understanding of bench work practice materials. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE development model and involved 50 Grade X students at SMK Muhammadiyah 2 Semarang. Data were obtained from expert validation, teacher and student response questionnaires, as well as pretest and posttest assessments. The findings demonstrated that the developed e-module met a very high level of validity, as indicated by scores of 87.79% from media experts, 84.90% from material experts, and 89.95% from assessment experts. In terms of practicality, the e-module received scores of 89.38% from teachers and 88.62% from students, indicating a very practical level. The results of the paired sample t-test also revealed a statistically significant increase in students’ understanding (p < 0.05). Moreover, the experimental class obtained an average N-Gain score of 65.23%, which was classified as moderately effective. Overall, the findings suggest that the Flipbook-based interactive e-module is a feasible and innovative digital learning resource that can support the improvement of students’ understanding of bench work practice materials in vocational education
