Development of Character Education Based E-book in Civics Subject (PPKn) for Grade IV SD Negeri 2 Penglatan

proposed to attract students' attention in learning and create a pleasant learning atmosphere to
improve their learning outcomes is the development of learning media in the form of character
education-based E-Book.
The solution that researcher provides to overcome these problems is to use digital
teaching materials in learning and change the learning model in teaching materials. It is very
important to have new and interesting learning materials that encourage students to gain hands-
on experience and actively participate in the learning process. A good learning media is one
that have the ability to capture the attention of students. Additionally, educational materials are
media that act as originators of information or learning messages to enable individuals to learn
or assimilate learning content through the media. The facility needed at this time is E-Book
teaching materials that can support learning proccess. E-books are digital books containing
images, text, audio, and video that can be published in digital form for reading on mobile
phones, laptops, computers, etc. E-books are very useful for teachers to maximize the
motivation of students to internalize their concepts. Thus, the use of character-based learning
resources such as E-Books can lead to student-centred learning and students can solve real-life
problems in the field of Civics through information literacy through daily life experiences.
(Sanuaka et al., 2017; Wahyuni & Rahayu, 2021; Yulia Aftiani et al., 2021). The advantage of
E-book is that it does not take up much space due to its small size and can be accessed anytime,
anywhere with just a device such as a mobile phone or laptop. E-books are easy to carry
anytime, anywhere and help students learn (Fatimah et al., 2023; Fatimah & Bramastia, 2022;
Sari & Antasari, 2019). E-books are different from printed books because they contain images,
text, audio, and video to help the reader understand the content presented (Andaresta &
Rachmadiarti, 2021; Suprapto et al., 2019). E-Books are easy to publicly through electronic
medias, so it will not take a long time to publicly them.
The development model used in this development research is ADDIE which has five
stages in its development, namely the analysis, design, development, implementation, and
evaluation (Castro & Tumibay, 2021; Spatioti et al., 2022). The results of the research and
development of teaching materials are expected to improve students' willingness to learn
independently, improve their learning outcomes, and especially improve their positive
character traits.

2. METHODS

This is a research and development research that is orientated to the development of
learning products that will be used to solve learning problems. This research was conducted at
SD Negeri 2 Penglatan. The product developed in this research is a character education-based
E-book in Civics subject (PPKn) for grade IV. The development model used in this research is
the ADDIE development model which consists of five stages, namely, the analysis, design,
development, implementation, and evaluation stages (Tegeh & Jampel, 2017).
