Abstract

This research aims to determine the effectiveness of using the Physics teacher^s guide e-book based on multimodal representation and Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) in improving teachers^ ICT literacy. Given the important role of technology in the learning process, especially in the current of Covid 19 pandemic era. The research method used was experimental research with a nonequivalent control group design. This research involved 61 in-service physics teachers (44 female and 17 male) as participants who were taken by purposive sampling. In addition to in-service teachers, the research also involved 40 pre-service teachers that consisting of 7 male and 33 female. The instruments used included questions on the ICT literacy test on the knowledge aspect, and a four-scale questionnaire. Teacher literacy data were analyzed using normalized gain test, average difference test and effect size test to determine the effectiveness of e-books in improving teacher ICT literacy. The physics teacher^s guide e-book used in this study is in an e-Pub format that can display simulation and animation videos that can be accessed offline so that it is easy to learn anytime and anywhere by the teacher. The analysis of ICT literacy data was carried out with the help of the IBM SPSS.20 software. The results showed that the Physics teacher^s guide e-book was effective in increasing teachers^ ICT literacy. This product has a greater impact on the increase of literacy compared to the teacher^s commonly used books. In addition, the results of the questionnaire data analysis showed that the teacher^s response stated that they strongly agreed with the Physics teacher^s guide e-book that was used to improve their ICT literacy.
