Abstract

Blended learning is increasingly gaining a place in the era of the development of information technology and the internet. To support this learning, digital learning resources are needed. In this study, a digital chemistry teaching book based on Balinese local cultures was developed on the topic of acids and bases as a learning resource in blended learning. The development of this book used the ADDIE model. The analysis phase included an analysis of the chemistry content, teacher and student needs, and the Balinese local cultures. The design phase included the formulation of an outline of the digital chemistry teaching book based on local Balinese cultures. The development stage included drafting the digital book based on local Balinese cultures, expert validation, readability test, practicality test, and effectiveness test. The results showed that the characteristics of the developed digital book included that it was in electronic form (PDF files) and based on local Balinese cultures. It is valid in terms of content, language, and media. The readability of the book was classified as very good. It was quite practical to be implemented and effective to improve the learning outcomes of high school students. It is one of the digital learning resources that can support the implementation of blended learning.
