VIGARA Media to Improve Learning Outcomes in Elementary School Dance Arts

The limitations of school facilities and teachers' readiness to utilize technology often result in less effective learning processes and lower student motivation. Therefore, innovative learning media are needed to encourage students to understand the material more quickly and actively. This study aims to develop and evaluate interactive video-based learning media for third-grade elementary school dance education, specifically on the Movement and Expression material. This research employs a development method using the ADDIE model. The study subjects included one content expert, one media expert, one teacher, and six students for a small group trial. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, and validation instruments, then analyzed using quantitative and qualitative methods. Pretest and posttest results indicated an increase in the average student score from 75.29 to 93.81, with an average N-Gain score of 0.7488 (high category), while expert validation scores ranged from 90–94% and the small group trial obtained a score of 88%. The developed interactive video media included features such as a front cover, introduction, material content, and instructions for designing dance movements. The results show that this media significantly improves students’ psychomotor learning outcomes while fostering enthusiasm and active participation in the learning process. These findings confirm that the Interactive Video of Natural Movement has the potential to serve as an effective, interactive, and innovative learning medium, capable of enhancing the overall quality of dance education in elementary schools.
