The impact of using the interactive e-book on students' learning outcomes

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the impact of using the interactive e-book media on the students' learning outcomes in the historical topic of the social subject of the seventh class of junior high schools. This study employed the experimental research method involving 59 students in the control group and 59 students in the experimental group. The results showed that the mean score of the experimental group before using the e-book was 54.78 and the mean score after the treatment of using e-books was 81.69. This means that there has been an increase in the mean score by 26.91 after using the interactive e-book in the social subject. In addition, the results of the comparative test of the knowledge between the control and experimental groups showed that the experimental group had a mean score of 81.69 higher than the control group, which was 64.75 with the Sig. value of (2-tailed) 0.000 < 0.05 which means that there are significant differences in the scores between the control group and the experimental group. Hence, the interactive e-book media is effective to be used to improve the students' knowledge in the social subject of the seventh class.
