The Indicators of Instructional Design for E- learning in Indonesian Vocational High Schools

Abstract

Teaching a subject in Vocational High School (VHS) needs specific strategy, which is part of instructional design. Recently the VHSs use computer base in instructional to deliver theory and practice subject. The computer will help teachers to make media as a part of instruction and using a system of instruction, which is usually called as e learning in instruction. Teachers need skill for operating and planning e learning as an instructional media. To make easier to deliver some subjects, the instructional design for e learning should be well prepared by teacher. This means that the teacher is required to know the model of instructional design, which is suitable for e learning for VHS and what are the indicators that are needed in implementing instructional design for e learning.Study exploration and references collection were used to find the model of instructional design for e learning. Focus group discussion (FGD) was used to define the good model for instructional design in e learning including to find the indicators, which cover the model. In this case 5 experts from 5 universities and 5 experts from the profession of information and communication technologies (ICTs) were involved. Further, the respondents that consist of 20 teachers and 165 students were used to define the good indicators in each aspect.The study founds the draft model of instructional design for e learning in VHS. The model has four aspects, including: 1) needs analysis, 2) selection and order of competence, 3) instructional development and 4) learning evaluation. The four aspects have five indicators in each.
