Abstract

Using Digital Learning Objects as learning resources is essential in blended learning. However, the availability is still limited, so there is a need to design and develop digital learning objects to help students meet learning objectives. This study identifies and analyzes students’ needs for Digital Learning Objects relevant to the course's characteristics. This study employs the descriptive survey method to provide a quantitative description of students’ preferences for different Digital Learning Objects. The data for this study was collected using a questionnaire distributed to 54 students as the sample. The results revealed that the Digital Learning Objects needed for the Audio Media course consisted of digital module (87 percent), video (79,6 percent), and animation (74,1 percent). As for the learning method, practicum (98 percent) and team-based project (81 percent) were preferable to discussion or presentation. It was also found that the digital module was more compatible with the majority of the materials covered in the course. Thus, developing Digital Learning Objects will include digital modules, instructional videos, and animation, which are expected to support students in a blended learning environment effectively.

Abstrak

Pemanfaatan Objek Pembelajaran Digital sebagai sumber belajar merupakan hal yang penting dalam blended learning, namun ketersediaannya masih terbatas oleh karena itu perlu dirancang dan dikembangkan Objek Pembelajaran Digital yang dapat memudahkan siswa dalam mencapai tujuan pembelajaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis kebutuhan mahasiswa terhadap Objek Pembelajaran Digital yang relevan dengan karakteristik mata kuliah yang diambilnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survei deskriptif karena perlu memberikan gambaran kuantitatif tentang preferensi mahasiswa terhadap berbagai jenis Objek Pembelajaran Digital. Data penelitian ini dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan kuesioner yang dibagikan kepada 54 mahasiswa sebagai sampel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Objek Pembelajaran Digital yang dibutuhkan pada mata kuliah Media Audio terdiri dari modul digital (87 persen), video (79,6 persen), dan animasi (74,1 persen). Sedangkan untuk metode pembelajaran, praktikum (98 persen) dan proyek berbasis tim (81 persen) lebih diutamakan dibandingkan diskusi atau presentasi. Ditemukan juga bahwa modul digital lebih kompatibel dengan sebagian besar materi yang dibahas dalam kursus. Oleh karena itu, pengembangan Objek Pembelajaran Digital akan mencakup modul digital, video instruksional, dan animasi, yang diharapkan dapat secara efektif mendukung mahasiswa dalam lingkungan pembelajaran terpadu.
