DEVELOPMENT OF ANDROID-BASED LITERATURE WRITING E-MODULE: SMART APPS CREATOR FOR STUDENTS IN PADANG SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Abstract

This study was inspired by the challenges faced in learning Indonesian literature within the text-based 2013 curriculum. Interviews with teachers revealed students' difficulties in understanding literature, particularly saga material, leading to a focus on knowledge acquisition rather than literary experience. Consequently, a pressing need emerged for innovative literature teaching materials, especially in high schools. To address this, an android-based literary writing e-module was developed following the ASSURE model, comprising six essential steps. The study's findings demonstrate the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the Smart Apps Creator (SAC)-based learning media used in the e-module. The validity test resulted in very high scores (85% in material aspect, 88% in language aspect, and 96% in media aspect). Teachers rated the practicality aspect at 94%, while students rated it at 83%. Additionally, individual and small group trials resulted in impressive scores; 86% and 84%, respectively, and N-Gain scores indicated high effectiveness; 0.52, 0.58, and 0.53 for different schools. This research reveals that the SAC-based learning media effectively integrates with students, offering promising prospects for enhancing literature education in high schools. The study's findings hold significant implications for the development of creative and technology-driven learning materials, which can contribute to more engaging and effective literature instruction.
