Abstract

This research aims to develop an E-Booklet-based learning media on the topic of the origins of the ancestors of the Indonesian nation and the spice routes during the prehistoric era for Class X students at SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Metro. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) with Sugiyono's Level 1 development model, which includes the stages of needs analysis, product design, expert validation, and revision. Data collection was conducted through interviews, questionnaires, and observations with teachers and students. The research results show that the (1) learning media at SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Metro is still lacking in variety and innovation, causing students to struggle in understanding history material. (2) The developed E-Booklet is designed to provide a more engaging summary of the material, equipped with relevant images and videos. Expert validation in both material and media shows that this E-Booklet is suitable for use in learning.The implication of this research is (3)that the use of E-Booklet media can increase student interest and understanding of history material, particularly on the topic of the origins of the ancestors of the Indonesian nation and the spice routes, as well as encourage the application of technology in history learning at schools.

Review

This manuscript presents a focused research and development effort to create an E-Booklet as a history learning medium for Class X students, specifically addressing the topics of Indonesian ancestral origins and the spice routes during the prehistoric era. The chosen subject matter is culturally and historically significant, and the adoption of an E-Booklet aligns well with contemporary educational trends towards digital resources. The research identifies a pertinent problem in the target school—a lack of diverse and innovative learning media, leading to student difficulties in comprehending historical material. This foundation establishes a clear need for the developed product. The methodology employed is Research and Development (R&D), utilizing Sugiyono's Level 1 model, which encompasses needs analysis, product design, expert validation, and revision stages. Data collection involved interviews, questionnaires, and observations with both teachers and students, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the educational context. The E-Booklet is designed to offer a more engaging summary of the material, enhanced with relevant images and videos, addressing the identified shortcomings in current media. Expert validation confirmed the E-Booklet's suitability for use, indicating a well-structured and contextually relevant design. The study concludes with promising implications, suggesting that the E-Booklet can foster increased student interest and understanding of the specific history topics, while also promoting the integration of technology in history education. This work represents a valuable initial step in enhancing history learning through digital means. While the expert validation confirms the product's suitability, future research demonstrating its actual impact on student learning outcomes and engagement through empirical trials would significantly strengthen the findings and provide a more comprehensive assessment of its effectiveness in a classroom setting.
