The Influence of the Use of E-Books on Students Achievement in the Department of Physics Education USK

Abstract

The effect of the use of e-books by students on their learning achievement is focused on the problem of this research study. This study aimed to study the effect of the parameters of the use of e-books as part of the independent variable on student GPA achievement as one of the learning outcomes. The research results are used to improve the quality of the following lecture process. This research is descriptive type; data obtained without any treatment. The population is students from the Department of Physics Education FKIP USK Letting 2018, 2019, and 2020, total 94 students. Only 45 students responded correctly to the questionnaire in the interview process, and all of them were used as samples. Data is the state of use of e-books by students obtained through interviews using written questionnaires and student GPA scores obtained from the documentation. Non-parametric statistics were used to analyze the data. The analysis results obtained four conditions for students’ use of e-books: low, medium, high, and very high. In the results of the Kruskal Wallis test on student GPAs, it was found that there was no significant difference in student GPAs between the four groups. It was concluded that using e-books had no significant effect on student achievement in the Department of Physics Education FKIP USK.
