Review

The study "Development of an E-Book for Stage Makeup Learning to Enhance Cognitive Abilities of Beauty and SPA Vocational High School Students in Phase F" presents a timely and relevant investigation into enhancing vocational education through digital learning tools. The authors systematically developed and analyzed an e-book tailored for stage makeup instruction at SMK Negeri 1 Pekalongan, addressing the critical need for engaging and effective learning media. Utilizing the well-established ADDIE model, the research comprehensively evaluated the e-book's feasibility, practicality, and effectiveness, concluding positively across all metrics. This structured approach, combined with the promising outcomes, suggests a valuable contribution to the field of vocational training pedagogy. Methodologically, the application of the ADDIE model provides a robust framework for the developmental research. The inclusion of diverse assessment instruments, gathering feedback from media experts, subject matter experts, teachers, and students, strengthens the validity of the feasibility and practicality claims. The abstract clearly states that the e-book was classified as "feasible and reliable" and deemed "practical" by productive teachers. Furthermore, the employment of the N-gain method to assess effectiveness, reporting a "quite effective" improvement in students' cognitive abilities and skills in stage makeup, indicates a rigorous approach to measuring learning outcomes. While the abstract offers a solid summary, a brief mention of the specific cognitive abilities targeted or the sample size of students and teachers involved would further enrich the description of these positive findings. Overall, this study successfully demonstrates the potential of e-books as an effective learning medium in specialized vocational subjects like stage makeup. The developed e-book appears to be a well-validated and practical tool that can significantly enhance student learning and engagement in the Beauty and SPA curriculum. The findings are encouraging and provide a strong basis for the implementation of this e-book in the target institution. Future research could explore the long-term impact of the e-book on student retention of knowledge and skills, its adaptability to other vocational contexts, or a more detailed qualitative analysis of student and teacher experiences to further illuminate the mechanisms behind its reported effectiveness.
