Practicality of E-module based on Discovery Learning on the Reaction Rate material equipped with a Virtual Laboratory for Class XI SMA

Abstract

The policy from the education sector is the 2013 curriculum which aims to make students more active both in learning. The development of technology is so fast, it also has an impact on education, especially learning activities namely with various forms of learning media such as teaching materials. Teaching materials can be declared practical if the practitioner has conveyed that they can be applied in the field. This study aims to reveal the practicality of discovery learning-based e-modules on the reaction rate material equipped with a virtual laboratory for class XI SMA. This type of research is Research and Development (R&D). The research method used is the Plomp development model. The research was conducted at SMAN 14 Padang. Data were analyzed by Aikens’V formula. The statements collected in the one to one evaluation stage are that the e-module showa the use of clear letters, covers depictions and attractive designs, and the language used is easy to understand, so as to help students understand the material. The result of the analysis of the practicality value obtained 87%. The result is also recognized by showing the ability of students to answer e- module questions by 78,9%. Based on the data analysis, it was concluded that the discovery learing based e-module on the reaction rate material equipped with a virtual laboratory was declared practical.
