IMPLEMENTATION OF OUTCOME-BASED EDUCATION IN THE DESIGN OF DIGITAL INDONESIAN LANGUAGE TEXTBOOKS IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

The development of technology and the demands of the workforce have driven higher education institutions in Indonesia to adopt the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) approach. However, the integration of OBE into the design of digital Indonesian language textbooks has rarely been studied. This study aims to analyze the implementation of OBE in the development of digital textbooks and assess its effectiveness on student learning outcomes. The research uses a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the Dick and Carey model, as well as a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative methods. The study subjects consist of 200 students and 20 lecturers. Data were collected through interviews, surveys, and document analysis. The results of the study indicate that OBE-based digital textbooks enhance student engagement, understanding of the material, and academic achievement. Interactive features in the textbook strengthen the outcome-based learning experience. However, challenges such as lecturers' digital literacy and adaptation to teaching methods still need to be addressed. The study recommends OBE and digital design training for lecturers, as well as adequate technological infrastructure support. OBE-based digital textbooks can serve as an innovative solution to improve the quality of Indonesian language learning in higher education.
