The effectiveness of e-book in learning process
A systematic literature review
Keywords:
e-book, effectiveness, interactive e-book, learningAbstract
This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of e-books in the last three years and to analyze what types of e-books are most appropriate for current learning. The methodology used is based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Articles related to the use of e-books from 2020-2022 were searched through the published or perish article search application that focuses on Scopus-indexed articles. The results obtained indicate that the existence of e-books is still widely used to support students to obtain even better learning outcomes. Although several studies have found no significant difference between the use of e-books and regular printed books, the results also show that e-book users got higher learning outcomes. For now, the use of interactive e-books is the most effective e-book of other types, considering that this type of e-book has been tested on users of various ages and different educational backgrounds, with different subjects and different places of implementation.
