The Use of Interactive Media with 3-Dimensional Virtual Environment for Indonesian History Lesson About Indonesian Proclamation for Eleventh Grade Students
Abstract
Previous studies have found several problems in history lesson process for students, including the lack of variety on how the lesson is taught. Which shows that there needs to be innovations or alternatives in the way history lessons can be taught to students. Meanwhile, 3D virtual environment technology has been used for various aspects of life. Previous studies have also found several benefits of 3D virtual environment and interactive media for learning. As such, the aim of this research is to examine the combined potential of interactive media with 3-dimensional virtual environment as an alternative learning tool for formal learning, and to identify design recommendations that can be used for designing such media. This research chose Indonesian history lesson about Indonesian Proclamation event for eleventh grade students as a case study because of its relevancy with Indonesian curriculum and citizens. This research uses qualitative approach that uses triangulation analysis of data collected from literature study, interview, and questionnaire. This research found that interactive media with 3D virtual environment has good potential to be used as an alternative tool/medium for formal learnings, more so for the chosen case study. This research also found various design recommendations that are categorized into method, concept, and visual recommendations.
