Interactive Media Enhances Speaking Skills in Elementary School Students

Strategic Insights -

New research from Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha demonstrates the effectiveness of interactive media in improving speaking skills in fifth-grade elementary school students. The study, published in the Journal of Education Technology, used the ADDIE model to develop an interactive media prototype based on audiovisual articulate storyline 3. The results indicate that the media has a high level of content validity and is significantly effective in enhancing speaking skills. This innovation can facilitate students' learning process and help teachers achieve better learning goals, with implications for the optimal use of technology in education.

Key Takeaways:

  • The study aims to address students' low speaking skills and underutilization of learning media in educational activities.
  • The research develops a prototype of interactive media based on audiovisual articulate storyline 3, analyzing its validity, content, and effectiveness on speaking skills.
  • Data collection methods include interviews, observations, and questionnaires with observation guideline instruments, rating scale sheets, interview guidelines, and questionnaires.
  • The study uses the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests to analyze the data, followed by homogeneity of variance test and t-test.
  • The results indicate that the interactive media produced has a high level of content validity and is highly effective in improving speaking skills.
