The Development and Effectiveness of Web Based Media Provider Costume by User to Improve Elementary School Students’ Understanding

Abstract

The problem at elementary schools was the use of media that was not in accordance with the context and needs of teachers and students in the classroom through instructional design. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a web-based media provider costume by the user (Web-MPCU) to improve students’ understanding of the material and test the effectiveness of its application through instructional design at elementary schools. The development model used was Huang's instructional design development model. The results of the study show that instructional design provided information needs that were appropriate to the problems of the school context and resolves them by developing and implementing the Web-MPCU. The results of the development and evaluation of the use of the Web-MPCU show that it was valid, feasible, and effectively applied to improve understanding of the material in elementary schools. The effectiveness of the use of the Web-MPCU was also shown from the ease with which the teacher asks and analyzes the media needs of his students.
