DEVELOPMENT OF INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO ON NEWS WRITING TECHNIQUES AS A LEARNING RESOURCE FOR INDONESIA STUDENTS

Abstract

In the Journalism course, particularly in the topic of News Writing Techniques, there remains a tendency to rely on the lecture method. Students often lose focus and quickly become disengaged when the material is delivered solely through text or oral explanation. Based on this issue, it is necessary to develop instructional media in the form of animated learning videos for the News Writing Techniques material. This study aims to develop an animated learning video on “News Writing Techniques” as a supplementary learning resource in the Journalism students at Indonesia. The development model employed is ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The research subjects students who have taken the Journalism course, as well as expert validators consisting of journalism lecturers/practitioners, video and animation design specialists, and curriculum and instructional experts. The research stages begin with a needs analysis of students regarding video-based learning media, followed by the design of visual learning concepts, product implementation in the form of animated videos, and trials to assess feasibility. Expert validation was conducted to evaluate aspects of content, visual presentation, and video quality, while student response testing was carried out to determine the level of acceptance and usefulness of the product. The results indicate that the developed animated learning video falls into the feasible category. Students responded positively to the clarity of the material, the quality of the visuals, and the ease of understanding the steps in news writing.
