Development of E-module Teaching Simulation Tools in SIPEJAR for Teaching Practice of Prospective Teacher Students

Abstract

Optimizing the practice of teaching simulations for prospective teacher-students is one of the efforts to improve the content, pedagogy, and even the use of technology in learning. This study discusses the development of teaching simulation tools products that are packaged in the form of e-modules. Product development is carried out using the ASSURE model by involving experts, practitioners, and students to test their products in Indonesian language learning courses in elementary schools. The data was collected by using questionnaires and field notes which were processed using quantitative and qualitative descriptive methods. The results of product development show that teaching simulation tools are suitable for use as a medium for learning Indonesian in elementary schools. Packaging in the form of e-module itself is feasible to use in terms of content, format, application, and display. E-module teaching simulation tools can also be applied in the SIPEJAR e-learning at the beginning of the meeting to serve as modeling and provide students' teaching experience before practicing independently.
