Classical Javanese Dance Learning with Blended Learning

The purpose of this study is to develop a blended learning model of Javanese classical dance learning particularly in terms of (1) the determination of the blended learning model, and (2) the arrangement of course content. This research was conducted using the ADDIE model of Research & Development (R&D). Data were collected using a questionnaire technique and analyzed quantitatively with descriptive statistical techniques complemented by qualitative analysis of input from media expert, material experts and users. This model was implemented in students of the Dance Education study program, the Language and Arts Faculty of Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta in the Surakarta Classical Dance course. The results showed that: (1) 70% of students preferred the blended learning model where face-to-face lectures and independent learning through e learning were made alternately; (2) The material is compiled from the general, then embodied in detail by parts, and then presented as a whole (referring to elaboration theory), and (3) E-learning materials use various media elements (text, power point slides, pictures, photos, and videos) which are arranged based on learning activities according to student needs. Based on the results can be concluded that blended learning in Javanese classical dance learning can increase efficiency, especially in terms of time use and the level of lecturer involvement in the learning process directly and increasing the effectiveness of learning. However, even though the student's independent learning process is increasing, the role of the lecturer in face-to-face is still important in controlling standard movement techniques and dance expressions.
