Abstract
Education era 4.0 demands innovation in the use of technology so that learning can be widely accessed. One way is by using a digital module. Biochemistry is a compulsory subject which includes a practicum that can train students^ skills but so far it has been presented in the form of a cookbook. This study aims to improve students^ science process skills in the qualitative analysis of protein practicum using digital modules based on local materials. The digital module was developed using the 3D Page Flip Professional application. The research method is a quasi-experimental design with ^pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design^. This research was conducted at Bengkulu University involving students of the chemical education study program, which consisted of 24 people in the experimental class and 24 people in the control class. The instrument used in the form of 7 items of description, student worksheets and observation sheets. The results of the study stated that the use of digital modules based on local materials could significantly improve students^ science process skills between the experimental class and the control class. Six indicators of science process skills are classified as high (classifying, predicting, observing, hypothesizing, planning experiments, and communicating) with N<gain> values ​-​-of 0.82- 0.79- 0.92- 0.80- 0.78- and 0.90). Two indicators of science process skills are in the medium category, namely interpreting and applying concepts with N<gain> 0.58 and 0.59 values.
