E-Book for Problem Based Learning to Improve Learning Outcome of the Students

The rapid development of science and technology results in the change in all of life sectors, including education domain. The change of education domain occurs in learning media use in which electronic book (called e-book) starts to develop today replacing previous book used manually. The objective of research was to find out whether or not the use of PBL (Problem-Based Learning)-based e-book learning media can improve the learning outcome of student. This research was conducted using literature study on the relevant research journals. The problem of research was that the learning was still conducted conventionally and had not used varying learning media, so that the students understood poorly the learning material, leading to the low learning outcome. One of learning media innovations that could be used was PBL (Problem-Based Learning)-based e-book learning media. The PBL-based e-book learning media was one of innovative learning media that could provide active learning condition for the students. Through PBL-based e-book learning media, concept could be understood more in-depth, thereby improving the students' critical thinking and problem solving abilities, and learning outcome.
