Development of Digital Module ‘Phymology’ on Optical Instruments

Abstract

One of the technological innovations in the 21st century that can be applied in the learning process is the use of digital-based instructional media. While, the learning media in the form of digital modules is still relatively little used in learning physics in schools. This study aims to produce learning media in the form of a digital module 'Phymology' on optical instrument material. This research uses Research and Development (R&D) research methods and is based on the ADDIE development model. The ADDIE development model has five stages, namely the analysis stage, the design stage, the development stage, the implementation stage and the evaluation stage. The digital module in this optical instrument material was developed in the PBL (Problem Based Learning) stage and contains STEM aspects, namely science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The final result of the development of a digital module for this optical instrument material is an android application with an apk format that can be downloaded via the Google Play Store and then installed on the student's smartphone device.
