This study evaluates the effectiveness of e-pocketbooks as a tool in curriculum management in laboratory schools, especially in the context of implementing freedom to learn. Through a descriptive quantitative approach, 20 principals and teachers at Universitas Negeri Malang laboratory schools participated in this study. Three main aspects were assessed, namely appearance, presentation of materials, and usefulness. The results showed that e-pocketbooks were considered very good in supporting curriculum management, with an average score for all aspects in the 'very good' category. The highest rating was given to the usefulness of e-pocketbooks in terms of boosting user awareness of curriculum management and motivation in the implementation of freedom to learn curriculum. The findings of this study provide a significant contribution to the identification of electronic pocketbooks as an efficient tool for the management of curriculum in experimentation schools. These findings enable the design of digital tools that may be used in educational settings on a larger scale, which stimulates the use of technology to manage innovative and adaptive curricula. © 2024 IEEE.
