Abstract

The development of new teaching and learning material can help students to pre-pare the new 21st century relevant skills. One of the new teaching and learning materials was the interactive digital e-book named flipbook that became one solu-tion in genetics learning. This study aims to develop the preliminary interactive genetics flipbook design based Aurora 3D Animation Maker and Anchored In-struction learning models in Protein Synthesis material. This preliminary study was conducted at the Biology Education Study Program, IKIP Budi Utomo Ma-lang, Indonesia. The method used is the Thiagarajan development model. The re-sults showed that the interactive genetics flipbook based Aurora 3D Animation Maker and Anchored Instruction learning models were feasible to use in a genetic subject, especially to enhance students' critical thinking at the university level.

Summary

Introduction

In the era of Industrial 4.0, a term representing the fourth industrial revolution, known as the digital revolution. This period was characterized by automation in all types of tasks, artificial intelligence in all areas of life, robots, and endless possibilities that open up new technological opportunities [1],[2]. Accelerated the improvement of science was highly supported by the use of digital technology, commonly called the Information Super Highway [3]. Learning should equip students with practical skills in terms of the use of technology that they will face in future work [6],[7].
