PENGEMBANGAN E-MODUL MANAJEMEN PERKANTORAN PADA FASE F ELEMEN KOMUNIKASI DI TEMPAT KERJA KELAS XI BERBASIS PROJECT BASED LEARNING (PjBL) DENGAN BERBANTUAN SIGIL SOFTWARE UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN BERPIKIR KREATIF SISWA

Development of an E-Module on Office Management in Phase F of Communication Elements in the Workplace for Grade XI Based on Project-Based Learning (Pjbl) with the Assistance of Sigil Software to Improve Students' Creative Thinking Skills

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan, menganalisis kelayakan, mengetahui respon siswa, dan mengetahui serta menganalisis efektivitas dari E-modul Manajemen Perkantoran pada fase F elemen Komunikasi di Tempat Kerja kelas XI berbasis Project Based Learning (PjBL) dengan bantuan Sigil Software untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kreatif siswa. Latar belakang dari penelitian ini berangkat dari permasalahan kurangnya bahan ajar yang sesuai dengan standar Kurikulum Merdeka di SMK Negeri 1 Surabaya, serta metode pembelajaran yang masih bersifat konvensional dan kurang bervariasi eperti penggunaan LKS, papan tulis, dan presentasi melalui PowerPoint yang kurang divariasikan sehingga membuat siswa merasa jenuh dan kurang tertarik pada pembelajaran. Berdasarkan hasil observasi dan wawancara awal, ditemukan bahwa siswa belum menunjukkan kemampuan berpikir kreatif yang optimal, terlihat dari rendahnya orisinalitas jawaban mereka dalam tugas-tugas yang diberikan, di mana sebagian besar siswa hanya menyalin informasi dari internet. Elemen yang digunakan dalam pengembangan e-modul ini adalah elemen Komunikasi di Tempat Kerja dalam mata pelajaran konsentrasi keahlian Manajemen Perkantoran fase F. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Research and Development (R&D) dengan model pengembangan 4D (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui validasi ahli materi dan media, angket respon siswa, serta tes kemampuan berpikir kreatif. Hasil validasi dari para ahli mendapatkan nilai sebesar 96,25% dari ahli materi dan 95% dari ahli media, lalu hasil perolehan dari lembar angket respon siswa menunjukkan nilai sebesar 97,08% dan kategori interpretasi dari ketiga nilai tersebut adalah “sangat layak”. Hasil perolehan nilai tersebut menunjukkan bahwa e-modul yang dikembangkan dinilai sangat valid baik dari aspek isi materi maupun aspek media pembelajaran. Respon siswa terhadap e-modul juga sangat positif, dengan hasil angket menunjukkan kategori sangat praktis dan menarik. Analisis data pretest dan posttest menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan e-modul ini efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kreatif siswa, terutama pada indikator orisinalitas, elaborasi, keluwesan, dan kelancaran berpikir. Dengan demikian, pengembangan e-modul berbasis Project Based Learning (PjBL) dengan bantuan Sigil Software pada elemen Komunikasi di Tempat Kerja terbukti layak, praktis, dan efektif sebagai solusi inovatif untuk meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran serta mendorong kemampuan berpikir kreatif siswa SMK di era digital.

This study aims to develop, analyse the feasibility, determine student responses, and assess and analyse the effectiveness of the E-module on Office Management in the F phase of the Communication at the Workplace element for Grade XI students based on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) with the assistance of Sigil Software to enhance students' creative thinking skills. The background of this research stems from the problem of a lack of teaching materials that meet the standards of the Merdeka Curriculum at SMK Negeri 1 Surabaya, as well as teaching methods that are still conventional and lack variety, such as the use of worksheets, whiteboards, and PowerPoint presentations that are not varied, causing students to feel bored and uninterested in learning. Based on initial observations and interviews, it was found that students had not demonstrated optimal creative thinking skills, as evidenced by the low originality of their answers in assigned tasks, with most students simply copying information from the internet. The elements used in the development of this e-module are the Communication in the Workplace elements in the Office Management specialisation subject phase F. This study uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with the 4D development model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). Data collection was conducted through expert validation of content and media, student response questionnaires, and creative thinking ability tests. The validation results from experts yielded a score of 96.25% from subject matter experts and 95% from media experts. The results from the student response questionnaire showed a score of 97.08%, and the interpretation category for all three scores was ‘highly suitable.’ These results indicate that the developed e-module is highly valid in terms of both content and learning media. Student responses to the e-module were also very positive, with survey results categorising it as highly practical and engaging. Analysis of pretest and posttest data shows that the use of this e-module is effective in enhancing students' creative thinking skills, particularly in terms of originality, elaboration, flexibility, and fluency of thought. Thus, the development of an e-module based on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) with the assistance of Sigil Software on the element of Workplace Communication has proven to be feasible, practical, and effective as an innovative solution to improve the quality of learning and foster students' creative thinking skills at vocational schools in the digital era.
