Abstract

The purpose of
this study is to develop textbooks on child-friendly of Information, Communication, & Technology (ICT) that are
valid, practical and effective in improving the professional competence of
teacher education students (PG) PAUD Sriwijaya University. This study uses the
Research and Development model with the type of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) which
consists of five stages, namely analysis, design, develop, implementation, and
evaluation. The sample in this study was Sriwijaya University PAUD teacher
education study program students. In the implementation phase, field trials
were carried out as a result of the development of child-friendly ICT-based
teaching books with a sample of 42 people consisting of 12 samples for the
small group test and 30 samples for the large group test. The data obtained in
this study were analyzed using qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis.
Qualitative data analysis was obtained from questionnaires and quantitative data
obtained from the results of the pre-test and post-test at the implementation
stage. Based on the results of the calculation of the data, it was obtained
that the data were normally distributed and homogeneous, so that the inferior
statistical test used the Independent Sample T-Test with a significance value
of 0.05. Based on the test results of data analysis, it was found that the
"child-friendly ICT" textbook that had been developed was valid,
practical and effective. The results obtained prove that child-friendly ICT
textbooks contribute to improving the professional competence of students. Child-friendly
ICT textbooks not only provide new understanding and knowledge of ICT use in
child-friendly learning, but also enhance the skills of prospective teachers in
using ICT-based teaching materials.
