Abstract

This study developed the Sudawil e-module, traditional Kadazandusun quatrain, to deliver moral education to primary school students. The e-module was developed using the SADDIECT framework, integrating systematic approaches and cognitive learning theories in instructional design. Employing a developmental design approach, the study encompassed five phases: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Content evaluation by six experts using the Content Validity Index (CVI) revealed that all 20 items achieved an I-CVI of 1.00, indicating high content validity. The findings demonstrate that the Sudawil e-module is an effective educational technology innovation, suitable for application in the Kadazandusun language education system in Sabah.
