Development of Physics E-book based on Socio Scientific Issues Assisted by Heyzine Flipbook on Static Fluid Topic to Improve Students’ Critical Thinking and Collaboration Skills

Abstract

Integrating Socio Scientific Issues (SSI) in physics learning encourage students to actively discuss a problem, understand the nature of science, consider the controversies and their influence on the world both physically and socially. This research aims to produce an e-book on Static Fluid topic based on SSI assisted by Heyzine Flipbook, which is suitable for use to improve students' critical thinking and collaboration skills and determining its effectiveness. This method used in this study is research and development (R&D) with the define, design, develop, and disseminate (4D) model. The define stage aims to determine what is needed in the e-book development. The design stage is designing the e-book based on a certain format. The develop stage involves making the products, namely the e-book and instruments. The disseminate stage involves widespread distribution of the e-book that has been developed. The research result shows that the e-book based on SSI assisted by Heyzine Flipbook is valid based on the evaluation of physics experts and teachers, as well stated valid with very good category by the students’ responses. The e-book helps students to increase their abilities to think critically and collaborate in the classroom.Pengintegrasian Socio Scientific Issues (SSI) dalam pembelajaran fisika mendorong siswa untuk aktif mendiskusikan suatu masalah, memahami hakikat ilmu pengetahuan, mempertimbangkan kontroversi dan pengaruhnya terhadap dunia baik secara fisik maupun sosial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan e-Book Materi Fluida Statis berbasis SSI dengan bantuan Heyzine Flipbook yang cocok digunakan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis dan kolaborasi siswa serta mengetahui keefektifannya. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian dan pengembangan (R&D) dengan model pendekatan 4D (Define, Design, Develop & Disseminate). Tahap Define bertujuan untuk mendefinisikan dan menentukan apa saja yang dibutuhkan dalam pengembangan e-Book. Tahap Perancangan merupakan tahap perancangan format e-Book yang dikembangkan. Tahap Develop meliputi pembuatan produk yaitu e-Book dan Instrumen. Tahap Disseminate melibatkan pendistribusian secara luas e-Book yang telah dikembangkan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa e-Book Materi Fluida Statis berbasis SSI berbantuan Heyzine Flipbook valid digunakan dalam pembelajaran berdasarkan evaluasi dosen ahli fisika dan guru, serta dinyatakan valid dengan kategori sangat baik berdasarkan respon peserta. E-Book membantu siswa meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis dan berkolaborasi di kelas.
