Abstract

Due to students' relatively heavy usage of electronic devices for studying, the development of electronic learning resources like electronic modules (e-modules) can currently be a solution to the learning process in the digital era. This study aims to develop an ecosystem and environmental change e-module based on PBL that is valid and practical. This kind of research is defined as research and development (R&D) by modifying the Lee and Owens (2004) model, which has 5 stages: assessment and analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Data collection uses expert validation sheets to collect data on the validity of the e-module and student response questionnaires to determine the practicality of the e-module. The data was obtained descriptively in the form of percentages and adjusted to the criteria of validity and practicality, according to Akbar (2013). This study was carried out in SMAN 1 Lingsar, West Lombok Regency, between February and June 2022. The results showed that the ecosystem and environmental change e-module based on PBL developed fulfilled very valid criteria with a percentage of 100% by material experts, 93% by media experts, and 95% by biology education practitioners expert. The results of the students' response test showed that the e-module developed fulfilled practical criteria with a percentage of 86.3% by students. It can be concluded that the ecosystem and environmental change e-module based on PBL has proven to be feasible and can be used in the learning process. © 2024 Author(s).
