Abstract

Technology is growing rapidly. Many devices could be used to support the learning process in the classroom, particularly in integrative science learning. Nowadays, learning materials can be acquired through various digital forms. In this study, the tendency of the needs and interests of students toward learning materials, specifically in energy transformation topic, would be briefly explained. Based on the data obtained, students were more curious when they were provided the supporting learning materials such as pictures and videos while learning the energy transformation topic. The data illustrated that 64.3% of respondents stated that the combination of text, images, and videos enhanced their curiosity on the matter. Some questions must also be provided to improve their STEM knowledge and critical thinking. Therefore, Digital Reality Book with many features can be selected as an alternative to deliver learning material about Energy Transformation in supporting STEM and critical thinking. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd.
