Abstract—In the 2013 curriculum subjects in primary schools
were organized with themes, namely combining all subjects that
reflect students’ everyday lives. However, the themes in the
student’s book do not integrate one subject with the others and
do not reflect the students real life. Therefore, it is hard for
many primary school teachers in Padang to implement the
integrated learning using the textbooks. This research aims to
develop the interactive e-module based on the principles of
integrated learning that can facilitate students in carrying out
learning process, so it can improve students’ competency. The
research and development of interactive e-module use four-D
models that consist of four stages, namely define, design,
develop and disseminate. The research subject was the
interactive e-module based on integrated learning. The
respondents of this research were 12 teachers and 70 Grade 5
students of three primary schools in Padang, West Sumatra,
Indonesia. Data were collected using observation sheets,
interview guides, questionnaires, and tests. There are three
main results obtained from the research. First, according to
expert judgment the interactive e-module is valid. Second,
based on teacher and student's responses the module is very
practical. Third, based on the student learning outcomes the
interactive e-module is effective.
Index Terms—Interactive e-module, integrated learning,
