Development of E-book Teaching Materials: Overview and Applications of Microbial Biotechnology
Keywords:
microbes, e-book, teaching materials, feasible, validAbstract
Microbial biotechnology is a branch of science that utilizes microorganisms, enzymes, or cellular components to produce products and services in various fields such as food, health, agriculture, and the environment. Advances in modern technology, including genetic engineering, tissue culture, and PCR, have significantly expanded the potential applications of microorganisms, making a basic understanding of the concepts, history, and applications of microbial biotechnology essential for biology students. The development of e-book-based instructional materials provides ease of access, interactivity, and systematic presentation of information to support effective learning in microbial biotechnology. This study aims to produce educational materials in the form of an e-book on the general overview and applications of microbial biotechnology that can be applied to courses in the Biology Education Program (S1) at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Balitar Islamic University, by adapting the Borg and Gall development model. The average validation analysis result was 83% in the valid category, and the average small-group trial result was 82%, categorized as suitable for use as teaching materials.
