Development of a Wahdatul Ulum-Based E-Magazine Learning Media on Digestive System Material for Grade XI Senior High School Students

Abstract

This study aims to develop an E-Magazine learning media based on Wahdatul Ulum for the topic of the human digestive system for Grade XI high school students. The background of the research stems from the low student interest in biology subjects and the lack of integration of Islamic values in science education. The method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), limited to the Develop stage. Validation was conducted by experts in content, media, and Wahdatul Ulum, resulting in a “very valid” rating with an average score of ≥87%. Practicality testing showed the media was highly practical, with scores of 96% from teachers and 94% from students. Effectiveness was evaluated through N-Gain analysis, yielding a score of 0.77 (high category), indicating a significant improvement in student learning outcomes. Thus, the developed E-Magazine is considered valid, practical, and effective as a learning medium that enhances students' learning interest while harmoniously integrating Islamic values. Validity reflects the quality of the content and design, practicality indicates the ease of use and attractiveness of the media, while effectiveness is demonstrated through improved learning outcomes. All of these achievements align with the initial goal of the development, which was to present a digital medium that not only delivers scientific content but also strengthens spiritual values through the Wahdatul Ulum approach.
