DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT OF PJBL E-MODULES WITH A DEEP LEARNING APPROACH FOR PROBLEM SOLVING AND SCIENCE LITERACY

Abstract

The low level of science literacy and problem-solving skills among elementary school students indicates the need for innovative learning media that is meaningful, contextual, and tailored to student characteristics. One alternative solution is the development of Project-Based Learning (PjBL)-based e-modules integrated with a deep learning approach. This study aims to develop interactive e-modules on the human respiratory system that can increase student engagement, reflective thinking, and deep understanding. The development model used is 4D (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). The Define stage was carried out by analyzing the curriculum and student needs. The Design stage produced an e-module design with a project structure that integrated critical thinking activities. The Develop stage involved expert validation of the material (score of 78/80), media (76/80), and language (75/80) with a rating of “very feasible.” The Disseminate stage was carried out through a practical test that showed very positive results, with an average score of 91% from teachers and 89% from students. The e-module was considered interesting, communicative, easy to use, and encouraged independent learning and improved science literacy. The results of this study indicate that the developed e-module is feasible and practical for use in science learning in elementary schools.
