Type: article
Abstract: This study explores the development of digital teaching materials for the Islamic Civilization History (SPI) course using a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach. Motivated by the limited availability of digital learning resources and the dominance of conventional lecture methods, the research aims to improve student engagement and learning outcomes in the digital age. Using a Research and Development (R&D) method with a simplified Borg and Gall model, the study proceeded through five stages: needs analysis, design, initial development, expert validation and trials, and final revision. Data were collected via observation, interviews, questionnaires, documentation, and tests, and analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative descriptive techniques. Findings revealed a significant need for PBL-based digital materials. The developed model integrated PBL syntax into the eNaba LMS, including modules, case studies, videos, discussion forums, and quizzes. Expert validation confirmed the product’s content and pedagogical feasibility, while trials demonstrated enhanced student performance, motivation, and critical thinking skills. The study concludes that digital PBL-based teaching materials offer a reflective, contextual, and collaborative learning environment conducive to higher learning achievement.
