Abstract

Innovative teaching materials can basically be created by lecturers by utilizing interesting information technology that can be carried and read anytime and anywhere. Moreover, currently students are identical to gadgets (smartphones) that are often carried by students. In addition to innovative teaching materials that utilize information technology, teaching materials are also needed that can provide a deeper understanding to students. 21st century learning emphasizes the integration of technology, the development of critical skills such as critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration (4C), as well as contextual and problem-oriented learning. The importance of developing 21st century skills for students in facing complex challenges in the modern world. Education must be able to produce individuals who are not only academically skilled but also able to adapt, solve problems and innovate. Therefore, there needs to be a learning model that can integrate skills effectively in learning, especially for prospective teacher students who will have an impact on their students later. In addition, socio-scientific issues related to the social context and sustainability will be integrated into the learning materials to provide a deeper understanding to students. Thus, it is hoped that prospective teacher students can prepare their students to become individuals who are not only competent in academics, but also have broad skills and understanding of global issues. This study aims to develop an e-module learning model that can combine 21st century skills and socio-scientific issues in a valid and practical economic learning context. This research is development research (Research and Development) which uses the 5 stages of the ADDIE model, namely analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. Implementation of development research which includes (a) needs analysis of the product being developed- (b) planning product design and (c) Implementation and evaluation of e-module learning models based on 21st century skills and socio-scientific issues. The subjects in this research were sixth semester students of the Economics Education study program. The data analysis techniques used in this research are validity and practicality. This module was validated by 2 expert validators, namely a material expert and a design expert. The research results showed that the feasibility test received a very feasible category and the practicality test based on response data from colleagues (team lecturers) and students received a very practical category.
