Development of E-Module on Descriptive Material to Enhance Reading Comprehension Skills

Abstract

This study aims to develop a descriptive text-based E-Module to improve the reading comprehension skills of seventh-grade students at SMPN 3 Jampang Kulon. The method used is the ADDIE development model with five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The product was validated by subject matter experts (94%), language experts (98%), and media experts (89%), and tested on a small scale (80%) and large scale (89%). The effectiveness of the E-Module was tested using a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach on 25 students. Data analysis using SPSS version 25 showed a significant improvement, with a t-value of 15.685 and a significance level (2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05, concluding that the E-Module is effective in enhancing students' reading comprehension skills. This E-Module has proven to be viable and beneficial as an innovative learning medium for descriptive text material.
