Covariant Factors of Activity-Oriented Curriculum Operation in Cooperative Learning Effectiveness

The purpose of this study is to explore the operation of an activity-oriented curriculum. Class members were grouped by their majors to complete an academic seminar together and fill in the evaluation for the two variables of cooperative learning and participation attitude, so that this study could explore the relationship between covariate factors for cooperative learning effectiveness. The subjects of this study are the master students in the Department of Visual Communication Design of a university of science and technology in central Taiwan. The course is a required course seminar. In order to properly arrange the manpower, the nominal variables in research design were formed by grouping through professional division of labor. The research tools include cooperative learning evaluation and participation attitude evaluation. The data were obtained through the questionnaire about the two variables. The two-factor covariate analysis was used to test the hypothesis. The results showed that the cooperative learning effectiveness did not vary according to the grouping type when the co-variable interference of participation attitude was excluded. It was found that the academic group had the best evaluation among all groups. Therefore, it was concluded that the students in the master class, due to their mature mental development, were generally able to put themselves in the membership’s position and pay attention to team efficiency in the learning environment of team cooperation, so as to gather the centripetal force from the group to the whole class, and jointly complete the task assigned by the course. Among the groups, the academic group had few members but heavy works. Due to proper division of labor, they completed the task on time, and the experience of being responsible for the administrative processing of the academic paper was profound, which led to the best evaluation of the cooperative learning effectiveness. Due to limited number of members, this study also received many suggestions during the review meetings, which aided in facilitating successful implementations of the subsequent course activities and enabling students to gain practical experiences from this activity.

Application of Physiognomy for Comic Character Development in “Menjelajah Negeri Rempah” Comic

This research aimed to document the journey of character development in ‘Menjelajah Negeri Rempah’ comic with physiognomy studies. Indonesia was known as a maritime country that had emerged as one of the largest producers of spices in the last centuries. Unfortunately, younger generations of Indonesia lacked the knowledge of spices. This was one of the reasons why young Indonesians were less concerned with the existence of spices. Several things had been done by the government to socialize the glory of spices in the past so that spices would return to their glory in the future. The researchers who were involved in the teaching and learning process in the Visual Communication Design department wished to take part in this effort through comics to help the government spread knowledge to the younger generation through visual languages they liked without appearing patronizing. In creating this comic, one of the priorities was in the development of characters, which needed to be designed in such a way so that the characters were more easily recognized, and the stories came alive. To strengthen the character, it applied physiognomy in the development of the character designs contained in the comic. It used the design thinking process as a continuously applied design method in this character creation development. It consisted of define, research, ideation, prototype, select, implementation, and learn. This research results are in the form of the comic ‘Menjelajah Negeri Rempah’, which aims to introduce Spice Route as this country’s potential instead of the more famous Silk Road. The result of this research still requires additional data, considering that in the process of making comics, apart from building a relatable character, a strong story is also needed.
