The Effectiveness of Direct Instruction Model in Teaching Solfeggio for Beginners

Abstract

The background of this study was rooting down from the students music learning circumstances, of which they have low skill and knowledge of solfeggio, low ability of transferring solfeggio automatically into a new context although they have learned it, unavailability of learning material, syllabus, and lesson plan, standardized method and media of learning. Based on the problems stated above, it is very important to design a research dealing with learning solfeggio which lasting and producing a complete, practical, reliable and valid curricula of solfeggio. The basis model of development is using ADDIE theory. This research belongs to R & D research. The subject of the research is the students of art and music department, FBS Padang State University. The instrumentation of data gathering was using interview, questionnaire, tryout, performance-test. To analyze the raw data to see the level of reliability and practicality the researcher used the formula of Rho Spearman Brown, and the result is that r-obtain 1.2 exceeds r-table within significance level of 95% (0.05) it is 0.349 or by (0,01) it is 0.449. To prove the effectiveness of the product of this research ( the model of learning solfeggio ), the writer distinguish the data of pre-test to post-test by accumulating the scores the students obtained by using match t-test, and the result is that t-obtain 9.311 exceeds t-table 1.697. It means that, the model of learning solfeggio as the product of this research is much more effective significantly since the result of the match t-test is so high exceeding the number of the t-tab. It can be concluded that this model is very useful for the lecturers and the students as well in learning solfeggio at the music department of FBS Padang State University.
