PENGURUSAN SUMBER DALAM PENDIDIKAN: NORMA PENGGUNAAN BUKU TEKS DIGITAL

Abstract

The publication industry in the field of education is constantly growing and changing. Till now, the emergence of digital publications, including electronic books (e-books) became a norm among students and educators. The COVID-19 pandemic has opened up space for users to use digital textbooks that can be accessed through the DELIMa platform, Ministry of Education Malaysia (MoE). The importance of digital education in the current Industrial Revolution 4.0 is able to help increase preparedness through artificial intelligence, reality and practical exposure to the future generation of national leaders in various sectors and industries. Realizing the importance of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to society, the government has implemented two policies, namely the National Creative Industry Policy and the Malaysian Education Development Plan (2013-2025). Under this policy, players in the broadcasting and publishing industry in Malaysia are encouraged to develop the country's creative industries to increase the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The need to develop a standard digital textbook concept is appropriate so that teaching and learning (PdP) will be more effective and interactive to face this revolution. Through this awareness, MoE needs to take the initiative to help the delivery of teaching that uses current technology by producing digital textbooks. This study was conducted through in-depth interviews with several teachers to bring the direction of the organization towards the publication of interactive digital books. The results of the study found that printed textbooks are still relevant to use, but becomes more interesting if assisted with digital textbooks. This digital book will be fully implemented with the support of all parties to drive the success of the nation towards the global market.
