Application Of Digimco Media To Improve Student's Understanding

The learning process will not be effective and interesting if the teacher only talks about things that happened. For that we need a media that can be manipulated, can be seen, can be heard and can be read by students. One of them is comic media. This study aims to describe learning using Digimco Media (Digital Math Comic) which can improve the mathematical understanding of class X students. This research procedure refers to the classroom action research model by Kurt Lewin which consists of problem identification, planning, implementation and observation, and reflection. The instrument used consisted of the results of working on worksheets, quizzes, final tests, teacher activity observation sheets, and student activity observation sheets. The results showed that learning with the Digimco Media could improve students' mathematical understanding. This is shown from the results of observations of teacher and student activities in the good category. In addition, the results of quizzes and final tests are also a determinant of success in this study. The quiz results in the first cycle classically reached 73.91% and the final test in the first cycle reached 65.21%. While in the second cycle the classical quiz results reached 85% and the second cycle final test reached 80%. This means that the research carried out is said to be successful in accordance with the established success criteria.

Graphic Medicine and Radiology Nursing: Using Comics for Education and Stress Mitigation

This article argues that comics can help to educate radiology patients and provide a stress mitigation tool for both patients and radiology nurses. Graphic medicine, Ian Williams's term for “the intersection of the medium of comics with the discourse of healthcare,” includes graphic narratives of illness by patients, providers, family members, or caregivers; it also includes comics for educational purposes. In patient or family narratives, fears or anxieties about impending procedures may be visualized, allowing for reader identification and empathy. Informational comics have also been found to be effective in preparing pediatric and adult populations for procedures. Finally, making comics can provide stress relief for nurses, allowing them to tell their own stories and to reflect on their experiences.

History Beyond The Frame: Exploring The Art In Spiegelman’s Maus

The attempt to reflect on the horrific past through the medium of comics sets the tone of the narrative put forth by Art Spiegelman. An episode in World history that is otherwise extremely difficult to talk about is portrayed in a manner that enables the readers to delve deeper into the realm of the Holocaust. The complex notions of power politics and dehumanization are reflected in Maus (Spiegelman Vol.1-2) with an aim to discover the long-lost memory of atrocities meted out to the Jewish community.

Increasing Student Activity Using The TSTS Learning Model Assisted By Digital Comics Media

One of the important components that need to be developed to achieve the goals of Pancasila and Citizenship Education (PPKn) is to create citizens who are able to actively participate. However, in PPKn learning, there are still many teachers who use the lecture method, so they are not able to stimulate the active involvement of students. This study aims to increase the activity of students using the Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS) learning model assisted by digital comic media by involving students in class XI IPA-4 SMA Negeri 1 Kandangan. The method used in this research is classroom action research which is carried out in two cycles. Data was collected through observation and interviews. Data analysis techniques include data reduction, descriptive presentation, and conclusions. The main finding in this study was that there was an increase in student activity from low (average percentage 41.53%) to high (average percentage 82.89%). Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the TSTS learning model assisted by digital comics can increase the activeness of students in Civics learning.

"Cool" Media Studies: McCloud, McLuhan, and the Popification of the Humanities

While the comics medium had affected everyday culture long before television became the epitome of the modern mass medium, it was mainly via Scott McCloud's seminal Understanding Comics that comics studies began to tie in with media studies to better understand the ontology of the comics art form. In particular, McCloud drew on media theorist Marshall McLuhan's (1964) diagnosis of "cool" (in distinction from "hot") media. Notoriously, McLuhan characterized "cool" media—television and comics—as iconic forms of popular art that demand high degrees of audience or reader participation, in contrast to "hot" media such as film. While this conceptualization might seem arcane, it harmonizes with John Fiske's (1987) theory of audience participation in what Fiske has called television's "producerly" textuality. This essay will look at a trend in both television and comics studies under the rubric of "cool" media studies—that is, the triumph of a post-McLuhanian spirit assuming a dual role of academic inquiry and pop culture fandom.

Comics and the Body: Drawing, Reading, and Vulnerability by Eszter Szép

Reviewed by: Comics and the Body: Drawing, Reading, and Vulnerability by Eszter Szép Pamela J. Rader Eszter Szép. Comics and the Body: Drawing, Reading, and Vulnerability. Ohio State UP, 2020. 206 p. Humans dwell in bodies. How they feel about, relate to, and narrate their bodies and the bodies of the Other are not restricted to any one discipline. Drawing, like writing, is an embodied experience. Eszter Szép argues that reading comics is not just a cognitive experience, but "it is also a performance and interaction of bodies," (1) and "the line is a partner of the drawer and body" (77). However, writing, a verbal medium, happens even before the pen (pencil or laptop letters) hit the page; I compose while I walk which creates a state of mind. Barry, one of the writer-drawers studied here, teaches her students to think of "drawing as a way of thinking" (63). Grounding her monograph in an impressive swath of theory and comics scholarship, Szép summarizes the array of sources that inform the study in the introduction and reiterates those sources frequently throughout the chapters. Building on film theory, art history, and trauma studies, Szép focuses on activities of the body crucial to making and reading comics. Her introduction, nearly a third of the volume, draws out the theoretical frameworks and scholarship for her interest in the healing and transformation process in the artist and reader of autobiographical comics. The oft repeated goals established in the first three chapters center on vulnerability as a "central experience expressed by drawing," while chapters four and five focus on reader [End Page 351] engagement and performance in dialogue with one's own vulnerability and/or that of the Other (50). Non-fiction graphic narratives by Lynda Barry, Ken Dahl, Katie Green, Miriam Katin, and Joe Sacco explore self-esteem, trauma, and paths to healing across the authors' and their avatars' experiences with drawing, herpes, anorexia, Caesarean, and war. Szép makes a painstaking case for the specific medium of nonfiction comics as a mediated interaction between three bodies: the drawer, the reader, and the material comic. Representing and re-drawing the body of the authors' avatars is serious business. In Chapter One, readers of Lynda Barry's books like Syllabus and What It Is, will recognize the author's nearsighted monkey and the hair-tie Lynda avatars. Szép's reading of Barry's texts focuses on the active line and the state of mind produced by the drawer while drawing. Ken Dahl's Monsters, in Chapter Two, invites the drawer to illustrate how the Herpes virus transforms not only the avatar Ken's body but self-image as Dahl personifies the ever-changing virus. Without question, this redrawing of the body and its virus destabilizes form and identity. What Elisabeth El Refaie calls "pictorial embodiment" invites the drawer to redraw and reimagine the personality's diverse aspects in discrete modifications of the avatar (83). In the case of Miriam Katin's Letting it Go in Chapter Four, her avatar's vulnerability spans several pages of an involuntary defecation and clean-up. These texts, for Szép, affirm that "[d]rawing is interpretation; it is a way to organize reality" (39). The drawer-writer's perspective is an interpretation of the events experienced. Comics transform the metaphor into an embodied reality to foster dialogue about vulnerability. While bodies are indeed the subject of Szép's chosen graphic memoirs, the style of lines are a technique for "[expressing] engagement and compassion with the pain and vulnerability of others" (109). In Chapter Three, Szép zeroes in on Joe Sacco's Bosnian war reportage and his haptic use of crosshatched backgrounds and textures. She makes a compelling case for how Sacco's "compulsive" crosshatching (121) allows the author-drawer to dwell with the drawn stories and their avatars. This dwelling opens a temporal space wherein Sacco sits with and engages with his subjects, showing a form of bodily engagement. However, in Chapter Five, the use of scribbling in Katie Green's memoir Lighter Than My Shadow performs a different function; according to Szép, this particular style permits one "to visualize...

Graphic Medicine as a Wake-up Call to Stand Against Female Genital Mutilation in Egypt

FGM, Female Genital Mutilation, is one of the most prevalent types of violence against girls and women in Egypt. Despite its horrific short- and long-term physical and psychological complications, according to UNICEF data reports, FGM remains widely practised against girls and women aged 15-49 in around 30 countries in Africa and Asia (UNICEF Egypt Data Snapshot, 2019). Non-medical, primarily, social and cultural beliefs that are associated with girls’ and women’s chastity, marriageability, hygiene and honour continue to control the lives of millions of them and, in some cases, lead to their death. November 25, 2021 marked the 30th anniversary of the global 16 days campaign of activism which was launched by the Centre for Women’s Leadership to raise awareness about violence against women worldwide. In Egypt, this year, among several events that commemorate the anniversary, Care Egypt Foundation in collaboration with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the National Committee for the Eradication of Female Genital Mutilation (NCEFGM), launched a social media campaign against FGM entitled “My Story with Genital Mutilation” (Care Egypt, 2021). The campaign’s team gathered eight real-life stories of Egyptian women survivors and collaborated with artist Noran Fikri who drew the graphic artwork. In this research project, I argue that the aim of choosing graphic drawings for that campaign is twofold: 1) drawing real-life stories of Egyptian FGM survivors empowers thousands of girls/women to break their silence, and report about similar practices which may prevent potential victims from undergoing such abuse; 2) this campaign aims to reach large numbers of social platform users, to make FGM everyone’s problem in Egypt, in the hope of shifting the narrative from chiefly raising awareness about performing such violent practices into inspiring mainly not Non-Government Organizations, lawmakers or national officials but individuals—whether directly harmed or not—to take an action against FGM. I also suggest that this eight-graphic-stories collection is a representation of a graphic medicine movement in Egypt. Coined in 2010 by Ian Williams, Graphic Medicine is “the intersection of the medium of comics and the discourse of healthcare… a community where many people have found their voice” (Czerwiec et al, 2015, p. 1). The graphic form lends a fresh perspective on FGM survivors’ personal physical, psychological and mental suffering. It softly invites other women survivors to share their stories. Since it is a social media campaign, each of these eight very short stories is illustrated in a one-page graphic artwork, in a short, quick yet shocking and horrifying emotion-packed post. The graphic visual delineation of the memory of pain and hurt of such abuse which those women are forced to live with, subtly connect them to their fellow survivors in a manner that words cannot attain.

HISTORICAL COMIC’S SUPERPOWERS: THE CREATIVE POWER TO COMMUNICATE VISUALLY HISTORICAL EPICS

Comics are an indisputable part of popular culture. But compared to any other audiovisual media products, the production of this form of entertainment is relatively cheap. Thus, on this fact alone comic book artform could be used to fill the demand for local historical genre in popular culture and, in turn, to contribute significantly to the formation of a modern national identity among the youngest generations of the country. However, that is not the only or even the best superpower of the medium when it comes to production of fictional historical epics for entertainment purposes. In this article, the author explores comic medium’s creative aspects that could be used to effectively communicate the various visual aspects of the past. Findings suggest that the most important visual medium’s communicative tool that creates a unique and immersive experience is stylisation, in tandem with spatial and temporal systems. Additionally, the author discusses the challenges and opportunities for comic media to emerge in an educational context.
