Abstract
The advancements in technology make it unavoidable to be used as a teaching medium in education. Thus, this research aims to develop an interactive learning media in the form of an Android-based application as a teaching medium for writing descriptive texts in senior high school and to determine the validity of the media. The researchers applied the Research and Development (R&D) by employing the 4D Model developed by Thiagarajan et al. (1974). The instruments used were an interview, the validation sheets from a material expert, a media expert, and a learning expert (an English teacher), and a students’ response questionnaire. The research findings showed that the average result of the experts' assessment was 3.75 which was classified as 'Very Valid', then from the result of the students’ response questionnaire a percentage score of 81.19%, categorized as 'Very Decent’. Therefore, interactive learning media indicates valid and suitable to be utilized as teaching and learning media for writing descriptive texts for tenth-grade students in high school. The use of interactive learning media can be an alternative to attract students' interest in the learning process, especially in writing descriptive texts in a fun way.
技术的进步使其不可避免地成为教育中的教学媒介。因此,本研究旨在开发一种基于android应用程序形式的交互式学习媒体,作为高中描述性课文写作的教学媒体,并确定该媒体的有效性。研究人员采用Thiagarajan et al.(1974)开发的4D模型来应用研发(R&D)。使用的工具是访谈,材料专家、媒体专家和学习专家(英语教师)的验证表,以及学生回答问卷。研究结果表明,专家评估的平均得分为3.75分,为“非常有效”;学生回答问卷的得分为81.19%,为“非常不错”。因此,互动式学习媒体是有效的,适合作为高中十年级学生撰写描述性课文的教与学媒体。使用互动式学习媒体可以作为另一种选择,以吸引学生对学习过程的兴趣,特别是以有趣的方式编写描述性文本。
