The Development of E-Book on Flood Mitigation to Increase Students’ Metacognitive Skill
Abstract
The aims of this study were to analyse the flood mitigation in the Musi Sub Watershed of Ujan Mas Kepahiang Sub-District and to describe the design, characteristic and feasibility of the physics e-book on integrated fluid material of developed disaster mitigation. In addition, the results of the e-book application of the integrated physics material on flood disaster mitigation are analysed in improving students’ HOTS on the dimension of metacognitive knowledge. This study applies a 4-D development model consisting of four stages which are Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. The analysis results of observations of flood-affected areas using a spatial zoning approach based on elevation, distance from the river, topography of the area, and the use of GIS applications are used to create flood-prone maps. The results of the flood mitigation study are used to design the contents of the fluid physics e-book. Characteristics of developed e-book include missions, competencies, basic theories, basic activities, material resources, and assessment characters. The sample used as a trial for implementing the e-book was the students at SMK 1 Rejang Lebong and selected by using the Purposive Sampling Technique. According to the expert validation, the e-book is highly feasible to be applied as teacher's teaching material with an average percentage score of 95.86%. Students’ HOTS ability on the metacognitive dimension of classical knowledge is 6.67% very good; 26.66% good; 46.67% adequate; 13.33% less; and 6.67% very less. The e-book of integrated fluid on mitigation flood for Class X SMA/MAK in the concentration subject of Technology and Engineering was able to improve students' metacognitive abilities with an N gain value of 0.65 (moderate).
