Development of Video Animation-Based Learning Media for Steel Structure Courses

Abstract

This study was conducted in response to the implementation of online learning in the Steel Structure course. One of the main challenges encountered was the inability of lecturers to directly demonstrate tensile testing procedures to students, as laboratory practicum could not be carried out. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a video animation-based learning media that is feasible for use in the Steel Structure course. This research employed the Research and Development (R&D) method. The subjects involved in this study included expert validators consisting of two subject-matter experts and one media expert. In addition, the participants were students from the Building Engineering Education program, comprising 20 students who attended face-to-face classes and 20 students who participated in online learning. Furthermore, the product was also evaluated by three lecturers responsible for teaching the Steel Structure course. The results of the study showed that the product evaluation by the first subject-matter expert yielded a score of 3.28, categorized as very good, while the second subject-matter expert also gave a score of 3.28 with the same category. The media expert evaluation resulted in a score of 3.65, categorized as very good. The student trial evaluation obtained a score of 3.19, also categorized as very good. Moreover, the evaluation from the course lecturers resulted in a score of 3.49, categorized as very good. Based on these findings, the developed video animation-based learning media is considered feasible and appropriate for use in the teaching and learning process of the Steel Structure course.
