Keywords:
Digital Book; ARCS Model; Student Motivation; Instructional Media; Learning Effectiveness.Abstract
The issue of low student motivation in learning Indonesian language from the limited availability of learning resources, making it necessary to develop more varied learning media. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a digital Indonesian language book based on the ARCS learning model, which focuses on enhancing students' learning motivation, particularly in the anecdotal text material for Grade 10. It also seeks to determine the feasibility of using the digital book in the teaching and learning process through expert validation (by subject matter and media experts) and practicality testing by both practitioners and students. This research is categorized as effectiveness research and involved a sample of 34 Grade 10 students at SMA Negeri 3 Padang. Data collection was conducted using a test instrument. The results indicate that the developed digital book is both valid and practical. The content validity of the book was rated at 78.96%, while the media aspect reached a validity percentage of 80.76%. Additionally, the ARCS-based digital book was found to be highly practical, with final practicality scores of 82.81% and 83.71%, based on questionnaire analyses completed by teachers and Grade 10 E 8 students at SMA Negeri 3 Padang.
