The Development of an Electronic Book on Quantum Phenomena to Enhance Higher-Order Thinking Skills of the Students

Abstract

This research aims to produce electronic books on quantum phenomena which can be used to enhance the higher-order thinking skills of the students. This research is a development research which used ADDIE method consisting of 5 stages, namely: (1) analysis, (2) design, (3) development, (4) implementation, and (5) evaluation. Pre-research data analysis has been collected from 130 students and 4 physics teachers of 3 Senior High Schools in Bandar Lampungby using questionnaire and has been analyzed descriptive-quantitatively. At the design stage, storyboard making was conducted based on the needs of teachers and students in the school as well as the opinion of four experts in physics education. Electronic books on quantum phenomena are deloped with a scientific approach based on indicators of higher-order thinking skills. At the development stage, the realization of electronic book design was carried out and it was then followed by the making of the higher-order thinking skills instrument. The implementation of the electronic was conducted on the students in a class of a Senior High School in Bandar Lampung. The result of the development of the electronic book on quantum phenomena is assessed based on 3 aspects: (1) validity, (2) practicality, and (3) effectiveness. Validity and the practicality of data were obtained by using the validity sheet and questionnaire, effectiveness data were obtained by using higher-order thinking test instrument. Based on the result of data analysis, the product of electronic book on quantum phenomena which is valid, practical, and effective to be used to enhance the higher-order thinking skills of the students.
