Utilization of Interactive Learning Multimedia (ILM) in Collaborative Learning Using the Role Play Model

Abstract

This study investigates how 12th year accounting students at SMK Negeri 8 Bandar Lampung use Interactive Learning Multimedia (ILM) in collaborative learning through the Role Play approach. This study highlights the significance of an engaging and interactive learning process to increase students' active engagement, in accordance with Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture Regulation No. 22 of 2016. The Role-Play model of collaborative learning was selected as an effective approach to foster conceptual comprehension and social skills. This work uses a quantitative approach with an experimental design, with two classes: a control class that uses traditional methods and an experimental class that uses ILM. The experimental class's average post-test score improved from 62 to 88, according to data analysis of the pretest and post-test, whereas the control class's score only increased from 62 to 76. Students' ability to work together also increased, as evidenced by more equitable group involvement and more efficient decision- making. This study highlights obstacles to ILM implementation, such as differences in access to technology and constraints in teacher proficiency, and suggests creating inclusive educational policies and teacher training initiatives. With a suggestion for more research on the long-term effects of this approach, ILM in collaborative learning with the Role Play model not only improves academic learning outcomes but also equips students to handle obstacles in the digital age.
