“Pengembangan E-Modul Pelatihan Guru Sejarah SMK Berbasis Backward Design dalam Meningkatkan Keterampilan Berpikir Sejarah Menggunakan Model Borg & Gall

Abstract

The subject of History plays a crucial role in shaping our understanding of the past and provides valuable insights into the current context. In this regard, the capabilities and competencies of teachers are of utmost importance. The main problem of this research and development is how can the e-module history teacher training in vocational high school based of backward design to enhance historical thinking skills?. Therefore, this research aims to develop an e-module history teacher training in vocational high school based of backward design to enhance historical thinking skills using Borg & Gall models. Historical thinking skills encompass a teacher's ability to organize historical information, analyze historical sources, interpret historical events, and draw conclusions based on available historical evidence. The e-module design follows the principles of backward design, including defining learning objectives, identifying performance evidence, and designing learning experiences. The development process, guided by the Borg & Gall model, involves problem identification, theory development, instrument creation, data collection, analysis, validation, revision, limited testing, field testing, and final revision. The test results demonstrate that the E-Module for History Teacher Training in Vocational High Schools, based on Backward Design using the Borg & Gall model, is capable of improving historical thinking skills. Teachers utilizing this e-module improve their ability to organize information, analyze sources, interpret events, and draw relevant conclusions. This Research and Development study contributes to the development of backward design e-modules for history teacher training in vocational high schools. It provides insights for educational institutions and curriculum developers to enhance history education quality. In conclusion, this Research and Development study emphasizes the importance of enhancing historical thinking skills among history teachers in vocational high schools through e-module training. The developed e-module, based on backward design and the Borg & Gall model, improves teachers' abilities in various aspects of historical thinking. This study advances history education in vocational high schools and offers valuable guidance to educational institutions and curriculum developers for enhancing history instruction.
