Abstract

This study had aims: to determine the effect of e-books on the students learning outcomes in Anatomy and Physiology of Beauty course; to improve the knowledge of the students in Anatomy and Physiology of Beauty course; to improve the competence of the students in Anatomy and Physiology of Beauty practical. The type of the research used in this study is Research and Development (R & D) by using the stages or procedures that have been adapted, such as: Needs analysis; develop the products; validation and revision; small group trials; medium group trials; large groups trials; final product. The subjects of these research trials are 30 students in first semester of Beauty Education in State University of Medan (UNIMED), which were tested on 3 small group students, 9 middle group students and 30 large group students. The expert validation consists of 1 media expert and 2 material experts. The instruments for collecting the data used in this study are using the questionnaires and tests; validator questionnaire and effectiveness questionnaire include the rating scale and techniques analysis the data using a Likert scale. The research results of media expert which took a percentage of 88.56% obtained the very good criteria and research result of material experts which took a percentage of 90.5% obtained the very good criteria; secondly, the results of small group trials expert which took a percentage of 67.7%, obtained the Good criteria, the medium group trial which took a percentage of 80.33% obtained the Good criteria and the large group trial which took a percentage of 90.17% obtained the Very Good criteria; thirdly, the trial of effectiveness of students which took a percentage of 91% obtained the Very Good criteria. Thus, the development of E-book as a teaching material in Anatomy and Physiology of Beauty course is considered effective and feasible to be used as a learning media.
