The Use of Audio-Visual Materials in Visual Art Education During Home-Based Teaching and Learning (PdPR) for Primary School Students

Abstract

Since March 2020, Malaysia has made a 360-degree transformation in human life including the system of education due to the pandemic. All higher and lower institutions throughout 14 states in Malaysia have been shut down hence the teaching and learning process has shifted to Home-Based Teaching and Learning (PdPR). Despite the difficulty that has been faced by the students and teachers, the Minister of Education has responded and proposed various methods and approaches to maintain the continuance of interaction between school students and teachers. One of the methods is using technology in education. It is not only a method to give new knowledge to the students but also a part of an effort to develop students’ potential and at the same time improve their skills to fulfill their needs for education in the future. Audio-visual materials have been widely used in educational technology however, looking at the utilization of that method in lower institutions such as primary schools still not reaching the target. As the rate for digital literacy is still low, this study has been conducted to discover a new approach such as audio-visual through web-based learning to give benefits to both students and teachers. Besides, this study explores the adaptation of the ADDIE instructional model in designing and developing a special website for learning Visual Art Education for primary school students. This research has employed WordPress as the platform thus this prototype provides students with a method of receiving new experience and resources beyond the classroom and at the same time investigate the efficacy of integrating audio-visual in web-based learning.
