Students' responds in using Beboo to learn Static Fluid concept

Abstract

Beboo is a bilingual (English-Indonesia) interactive e-Book with virtual laboratory feature. Beboo has been developed in Static Fluids Concept for teaching package. It contains many contents like pressure, hydrostatic pressure, Pascal law, Archimedes law, capillarity, viscosity and surface tension. In experiment process, this e-Book supports the virtual laboratory, U-Pipe system. Beboo is designed to succeed the international program in senior high school level in Indonesia as the learning source. Twenty-four students have been used Beboo in the classroom. This particular research explored the student responds to this e-Book. Students have been tried the U-pipe virtual laboratory and determined the density of the fluid from that activity. As the result, students found Beboo to be a positive learning experience with all the content, language, media and learning aspects state in a good and very good category. It means the student can use and simulate the experiment to determine the density of the fluid. However, students have a problem in language aspect. The data showed this aspect state in lowest respond percentage (73%) than others.
