The Development of Dance Instructional Media for Lifelong Learning

Abstract

This research aimed to: 1) develop a model of dance instructional media for lifelong learning, 2) examine the efficiency of the instructional media,
3) compare learning achievement before and after using the media, and
4) investigate student satisfaction with the instructional media. This study employed a research and development (R&D) methodology. Instructional media (videos and posters) of folk dance content were developed based on the ADDIE Model. In the Design phase, the PCA Instructional Model (P=Parts, C=Combination, A=Application) was synthesized and utilized to design media for teaching practical skills. Its effectiveness was evaluated using a Randomized Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The sample consisted of 54 students majoring in Dance and Performing Arts, divided into an experimental group (n=27) and a control group (n=27).

Research instruments included a learning achievement test, a media quality assessment form, and a satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The findings revealed that. The developed instructional media had an overall quality at the highest level
( = 4.95, SD =0.20). The media's efficiency (E1/E2) was 90.15/85.19, which was higher than the established 80/80 criterion. The experimental group's post-test learning achievement ( = 27.04) was significantly higher than their
pre-test score ( = 13.33). Furthermore, the experimental group's post-test score was significantly higher than the control group's ( = 22.52) (t(43) = 3.6, p < .00083). Overall satisfaction with the instructional media was at the highest level (M = 4.78). In conclusion, the dance instructional media developed using the PCA Model within the ADDIE framework proved to be effective, fostered self-directed learning, and enhanced learning achievement. It is highly suitable as a medium for lifelong learning.
