Development of protein metabolism electronic module by flip PDF professional application

Abstract

Abstract The 21 st century learning innovations must be optimized using appropriate media and learning resources. The use of technology has become an efficient alternative in the implementation of learning. This research aims to produce electronic-modules (e-modules) as teaching materials for protein metabolism using Flip PDF Professional application. The method used refers to research and development. The contents of the module are developed based upon the learning design in the Biomolecular Metabolism course according to the curriculum of the Chemistry Education undergraduate study program. In addition, the e-module is equipped with videos, images, animations, links to various main sources and formative tests on each material in accordance with the learning outcomes over the course. Product validation is carried out by material, language and media experts using standard instruments with the Likert scale. The results of expert validation of the developed e-modules show well to very good at interpretations. Based on the results from the validation it can be concluded that the electronic metabolism protein module is ready to be used as a learning material in supporting the improvement of students’ critical thinking. Dissemination of the e-modules in the biochemical learning process is being carried out and will be published in the next article.
