Abstract

Currently, technology has influenced human life, including the world of education. Teachers also have to design how the exercises and materials can be used by using a cellphone. One way is CTL-based interactive e-worksheets which is an alternative learning media for popular scientific article text material that can visualize images, audio and video to make it easier for junior high school students to understand Indonesian language learning. This e-worksheet will later be designed using the CTL learning model. The CTL learning model will make students learn to connect everyday life with the material being studied. This research aims to develop CTL-based interactive e-worksheet as a digital medium for studying the text of popular scientific articles. This research uses mixed methods or mixed research. The research model used is 4-D. Data were collected using questionnaires, interviews, and scientific article text reading skill tests. The research results show that (1) the manufacture of CTL-based interactive e-worksheets follows the 4D research model until the deployment stage; (2) the results of e-worksheet validation are included in the very valid category in terms of content suitability, presentation language, and graphics; and (3) product dissemination shows an increase in popular scientific article text reading skills in experimental and control classes. Therefore, CTL-based interactive e-worksheet is suitable for use as a digital learning medium for popular scientific article text material.
