Preliminary study of physics e-module development using research-based learning model through smartphone to support digital learning in the revolutionary 4.0

The era of revolution 4.0 emphasizes the application of technology in life, including education. Example of the application of technology in education is digital learning which helps students teach technology to help them in the future. In physics learning, the use of technology is still not optimal. This is indicated by Physics learning materials used in schools that are still in print and learning activities are still centred on the teacher face-to-face. The spread of the Corona virus causes learning activities cannot be done face-to-face because not all schools are permitted to carry out learning activities. Therefore we need electronic learning materials that are able to improve the competence of attitudes, knowledge and skills of students even though not face-to-face. E-module with Research-based Learning model through smartphone is very appropriate learning material used to improve these three competencies and support digital learning. This study analyzes e-module development using Research-based Learning model in 10th grade physics subject on the first semester that discusses the analysis of needs, characteristics of students, materials and task analysis. Research method used is quantitative descriptive research with research sample are students of SMAN 10 Padang, SMAN 12 Padang and SMA Pertiwi 1 Padang.
