Abstract

This study intends to develop and design a web for dance learning for high school students. This design-based research focuses on two problems, namely (1) the concept of a dance website design which is expected to be suitable for use as a medium for learning dance in the current pandemic era, and (2) the effectiveness of the dance website that is developed as a digital literacy source that can be used as a medium for learning dance in senior high schools. The research method used in this research is design-based research (DBR) with research stages that include design process, design development, evaluation, and design revision. Data collection techniques were carried out by interview and document study. Data analysis was carried out by combining qualitative and quantitative methods. The results show that the website design developed is relevant to the needs and online-based student learning methods needed during the current Covid-19 pandemic. After going through the validation and testing process, the website design developed can be applied properly. The website developed is easily accessible by students and teachers to support the implementation of dance learning that takes place online. Access mechanisms, material structure, content, and existing supporting features can be used as a means of technology literacy education for students.

Highlights

  • Dance learning in schools contains three learning activities: theory, appreciation, and practice (Malarsih, 2016)

  • It is carried out to obtain real and accurate information related to the need for dance websites that can be used by students in learning dance in high schools

  • Dance learning usually only focuses on practical material that is useful for students in understanding and memorizing the structures of motion needed for further exercise in movement techniques (Sitti Rahmah, Yusnizar, & Rahayu, 2019)

Summary

Introduction

Dance learning in schools contains three learning activities: theory, appreciation, and practice (Malarsih, 2016). Theory learning activities aim to provide knowledge and understanding of dance material textually and contextually. The appreciation activity aims to provide real reinforcement of the material presented in theory through objects that students observe. Practical learning activities are carried out to provide direct experience to students doing dance practice, such as cultivating the potential of their bodies. Dance lessons that should include dance practice activities cannot be carried out due to the uncompromising Pandemic conditions for the safety of teachers and students. Learning activities in the pandemic era require learning to be done more by students online (Adnan & Anwar, 2020; Kraehe, 2020; Yao, Rao, Jiang, & Xiong, 2020). Methods of teaching dance that are appropriate to current conditions are needed (Cahyaningrum & Kusumastuti, 2014)
