Abstract

Initial findings indicate a competency gap among pre-service teacher students in the Literary History course, as reflected in their limited ability to appreciate canonical literary works, insufficient knowledge of Indonesian authors, and learning outcomes that have not met expected standards. These issues are influenced by conventional instructional designs, suboptimal use of educational technology, and students’ low reading interest, limited learning autonomy, and inadequate internalization of character values. This study aims to develop an Indonesian Literary History e-module based on Flip PDF Corporate Edition with integrated character values to enhance the literary competence of undergraduate students in Indonesian Language and Literature Education programs. This research contributes to the development of online-based instructional materials that are easily accessible and can be studied anytime and anywhere to improve students’ literary competence. The study adopts a design-based research approach employing the ADDIE instructional design model, consisting of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. Data were analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The findings demonstrate a significant improvement in students’ literary competence after the implementation of the Flip PDF Corporate Edition–based e-module integrated with character values. The large effect size (rrb = 0.768) further confirms the strong impact of this intervention, indicating its effectiveness in enhancing students’ learning outcomes in the field of literature. Through this e-module, students are able to understand the history of Indonesian literature in an easy, efficient, practical, and comprehensive manner. In addition, the e-module is enriched with infographics and high-quality videos of Indonesian literary works, accompanied by character value analyses of each work, which further enhance students’ literary appreciation. Project-based tasks embedded in the e-module, emphasizing literary literacy activities, also contribute to deeper student understanding of literature.
