Abstract

This research aimed to develop an e-book for physics teachers based on multimode representation and Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK)Thus, it was expected to improve pedagogical, professional, and ICT literacy competencies have been carried out. This research employed Educational Research and Development (R&D) by Borg and Gall, but the steps were limited only to the initial product revision. The instrument used was a questionnaire to evaluate the quality and understanding of the e-book. This study involved five expert validators in pedagogy, IT, and physics content. After the e-book draft was validated and revised, it was tested on a limited basis to 16 in-service physics teachers and eight pre-service teachers. The development eligibility of the e-book for physics teachers was seen from the results of the quality and readability tests of the content. The results of the expert validation regarding the quality of the developed e-book are in the excellent category with an average percentage of 88%. The test results show that the average percentage of physics teachers’ e-book understanding is 80.3%. The test results conclude that the multimode and TPACK-based e-books developed for high school physics teachers are feasible to apply. However, it should be tested more extensively before being used further in the learning process.

The results showed that the teachers' guidebook still had content, pedagogy, and presentation (Masrifah et al, 2018a)

Summary

Introduction

Teachers refer to professional educators with the main task of educating, teaching, guiding, directing, training, appraising, and evaluating students. The quality and professionalism of teachers are the keys to improving student learning outcomes and ensuring the quality of world education (Rutkowski et al, 2013). Since teacher professionalism is significant to the quality of a country's education, the government has made efforts to improve teacher competence to produce professional teachers, as expected. One of the policies carried out by the government is the Continuous Professional Development (CPD) program, which is expected to produce professional teachers who have substantial knowledge and can assist and guide students to develop and navigate the world of science and technology rapidly evolving. Since the teachers have limited time and place, they need quickly, and flexibly accessible learning possibly carried out anywhere. Teachers need training strategies accessible anytime and anywhere (Bayar, 2014; Mulhayatiah et al, 2021)
