EFFECTIVENESS OF MULTICULTURAL SEGUYUB LASEM DANCE IN CULTIVATING EDUCATION IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN CENTRAL JAVA INDONESIA

The researcher developed the Seguyub Lasem Dance (SLD) practice videos to increase students’ interest in dance learning and help teachers inculcate the Profil Pelajar Pancasila (P3) character or moral education in students of junior high schools. Agustina Ayu Andira created simple dance steps to present the multicultural society of Lasem (a sub-district in Rembang Regency) which has non-Muslims (including Buddhists and Hindus) and Muslim communities. The videos were uploaded to the YouTube website using the Agustina Ayu Andira channel. After showing the students, the SLD videos, the researcher tested the effectiveness of the dance videos on students’ moral and ethical understanding through the simple dance steps. In this regard, 162 students from five junior high schools in the Rembang Regency filled out an online questionnaire. The data gathered through the questionnaire was analysed with the help of Dick and Cary’s (1978) ADDIE model comprised of five research stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The dance video was tested for validity and reliability on a small scale to 32 SMP Negeri 1 Lasem students and tested on a large scale to 123 students in four schools. Students were asked to take part in learning using the SLD learning media, and scores were taken from the summative test. Student scores were first tested for normality using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov technique. The SLD’s effectiveness was tested using the One Sample T-Test test formula. Based on the study’s results, the researcher provides suggestions to dance educators so that dance learning media can be utilised in dance practice learning to increase students’ interest in dance practice learning, especially for male junior high school students.
