INTRODUCTION In industrial revolution 4.0, technology has become the basis of human life. This era affected many sets of life, such as economics, politics, arts, cultures and including education sides. Technology in the education side is called e-learning. According to Wahyuningsih & Makmur (2017), the use of e-learning in learning according to the latest research has a positive impact on processes and target learning. E-learning will enable students to interact with anyone and access information whenever needed. In addition, the learning process will be more effective and efficient in terms of time and energy. Technology development can be used in the learning process. Students are positioned as learners who hold the main role; students are required to have full activities, even individuals who learn teaching materials (Sanjaya, 2014). The learning resources used are usually books, student worksheets and articles. The learning source is still in printed form, therefore it is necessary to develop technology and develop learning resources in the form of improved print into computer-based or e-learning (Asyhar, 2012). One of the learning resources that can be developed based on computers is the learning module. Electronic modules are expected to attract students' interest in learning and can illustrate abstract material, can be accessed easily by students using computers and various types of gadgets anywhere and anytime, thus allowing students to get immediate feedback and understand the subject matter completely. Based on interviews with chemistry teachers, the learning module has been used as a learning resource in SMAN 8 Pekanbaru and SMA Cendana Pekanbaru. Information was obtained that the module is still not interactive because it only contains a description of the materials, set of formulas and some images related to the material that causes unpleasant learning. Supported by the questionnaire, the data obtained 71.38% of students find it difficult to understand thermochemistry topics because mailto:roza.linda@lecturer.unri.ac.id Journal of Science Learning Article DOI: 10.17509/jsl.v3i1.18166 2 J.Sci.Learn.2019.3(1).1-6 most of them do not have many references for the material. According to Keenan, thermochemistry is a basic knowledge that needs to be understood not only to find out how much energy needs to be given or that can be obtained from chemical reactions, but also as a basic knowledge for the study of the theory of chemical bonds and structures. According to Linda, Herdini, and Putra (2018), one of the materials in chemistry that is difficult is the chemical reaction and energy. Therefore, it needs a teaching material that can make students happy and easy to understand about thermochemistry. Lesson materials need to be developed in interactive modules. This electronic-based module (e- module) is a magazine form called e-magazine. The interactive chemistry magazine electronic module will be developed in the form of HTML format software that can be accessed via PC, android, USB and so on. The application used for making the e-module interactive chemistry magazine is Kvisoft Flipbook Maker. Kvisoft Flipbook Maker is software used to make the display of books or other teaching materials into a flipbook-shaped digital electronic book. The software can be downloaded freely through internet access (Sugianto, Abdullah, Elvyanti, & Muladi, 2013). Related to those explanations, it is needed to do research about the development of interactive teaching materials in chemistry learning in thermochemistry materials. The development of interactive teaching materials proposed in the form of interactive e-module chemistry magazine based on Kvisoft Flipbook Maker for thermochemistry material at second-grade Senior High School. 2. METHOD This study was conducted in the Chemistry Education Study Program of FKIP Riau University Pekanbaru with the test in class XI Science 2 of SMAN 8 Pekanbaru and XI Science 1 of SMA Cendana Pekanbaru started from November 2018 until April 2019. The development of the thermochemistry interactive e-module chemistry magazine was designed using Research and Development (R & D) with the Plomp model. R & D is a research design used to produce specific products and to test the effectiveness of it. The design of this study uses the Plomp model, which according to Rochmad (2012), is a development model which consists of the first investigation phase (preliminary investigation), design phase (design), realization/construction phase (realization/ construction), and validation phase, trial and revision (evaluation, test and revision) and implementation phase. It can be seen in Figure 1. The instrument which is used as a data collecting technique is the validation sheet and user response sheet. The validation sheet is used to get information about the validity of teaching materials and other instruments based on expert judgment. Information obtained through this instrument can be used as a material for consideration in revising the thermochemistry interactive e-module chemistry magazine. This validation sheet was assessed by 2 material validators and 2 media validators regarding the assessment of substance content, learning design, display (visual communication), and software utilization. The user response questionnaire was used to collect the data on user responses (teachers and students) to the thermochemistry e-module interactive chemistry magazine in SMAN 8 Pekanbaru and SMA Cendana Pekanbaru. The data collection techniques were a literature review and field studies. The literature review was conducted to obtain theoretical relevant information, while field studies were conducted to obtain data related to the validity and user response to the thermochemistry interactive e-module chemistry magazine. The data analysis techniques used in this study are the validity and analysis of user responses. Validity analysis is based on scores that are taken from the validator for each aspect of the assessment. This is how to calculate the percentage score with the equation formula: 𝑃 = 𝑛 𝑁 × 100% Explanation: P = Percentage score (%) n = Number of Scores Obtained N = Maximum of Score Obtained The results obtained were converted into qualitative values based on the assessment criteria of the attitude measurement scale with a score of 1-4. The validity criteria can be referred to in Table 1. Analysis of the user responses (teachers and students) is determined based on the percentage of alternative scores positive statements by using this formula: 𝑅 = 𝑓 𝑛 × 100% Explanation: R = Percentage of alternative scores statement of positive attitude (%) f = Number of scores obtained n = Total maximum score Table 1 The validity criteria Percentage (%) The Validity Criteria 75,00-100 Valid 50,00-74,99 Quite Valid 25,00-49,99 Less Valid 0,00-24,99 Invalid Table 2 Criteria response of users Percentage (%) Criteria Response of Users 75,00-100 Very Good 50,00-74,99 Good 25,00-49,99 LessBaik 0,00-24,99 Not Good Journal of Science Learning Article DOI: 10.17509/jsl.v3i1.18166 3 J.Sci.Learn.2019.3(1).1-6 The results obtained were converted into qualitative values according to the assessment criteria for attitude measurement scale with a score of 1-4. Criteria for the response of users (teachers and students) can be seen in Table 2. 3. RESULT AND DISCUSSION This development research produced the product of an interactive e-module chemistry magazine form based on Kvisoft Flipbook Maker for thermochemistry material. Interactive e-module chemistry magazine thermochemistry was developed within 6 months. This product can be accessed online and offline by teachers and students, it can be used during the learning process in the classroom and as an independent teaching material outside school hours using computers, laptops, notebooks, and various gadgets with Android and iOS operating systems. The gadget used must be equipped with supporting applications with HTML, HTML Mobile, and EXE / APP formats such as GOM and Mozilla Firefox. Development research uses the Research and Development (R & D) method with the Plomp model. These are the following explanation of this research finding results for each development stage. 3.1 Preliminary Investigation Phase This phase consists of several stages: front end analysis, student analysis, competency analysis, and material analysis. In the front end analysis, the results were related to the teaching materials used. The teaching materials commonly used in the learning process are printed teaching materials like textbooks and printed modules at SMA Cendana Pekanbaru. The module only contains a description of the material, a set of formulas and some exercises so that the module is not in accordance with the structure of teaching materials that have been settled by the Directorate of Education Staff. Ideally, a module has a compilation component consisting of titles, learning instructions, basic competencies, learning materials, supporting information, training, assignments, and assessments. On student analysis, the information gained is related to the abilities and attitudes of students towards thermochemistry material and analysis of the students’ needs. Data distribution of questionnaires shows that 90.67% of students need alternative teaching materials such as modules that can be used to study thermochemistry material more easily and interestingly. In addition, 88.54% of students often use a PC or gadget as a learning resource for chemistry, at school and at home. This is in accordance with the 21st-century learning process that requires students to be able to know information and communication in technology as one of the media to improve students' understanding in a particular subject, especially in thermochemistry. In the competency analysis, the results are related to competency attitudes, knowledge and skills that are expected to be possessed by the students after the following thermochemistry learning on the syllabus of high school chemistry subjects by the Ministry of Education and Culture. Thermochemistry materials are found in essential competencies 3.4, 4.4, 3.5 and 4.5 with the main subject and learning activities. In the material analysis, the information obtained is related to the concepts of thermochemistry material, which are systematically compiled and detailed. It also formulated learning objectives that must be achieved by students. The material is arranged according to the senior high school chemistry syllabus and appropriate with the lesson plan on the thermochemistry topic. The number of meetings for thermochemistry material consists of 4 meetings. 3.2 Design Phase In this phase, the prototype design and assessment instruments were produced. The prototype project is in the form of an interactive e-module chemistry magazine thermochemistry as the results from various analyses that have been conducted to obtain a prototype which contains some contents suited with the ICT-Based Learning Materials Development Guide by the Ministry of National Education Directorate General of Primary and Secondary Education Management in 2010.
