The Development of Gamelan Learning Media for Android Operating System

Abstract

AbstrakGamelan merupakan salah satu instrumen musik tradisional yang paling penting dari budaya Jawa, tetapi terlalu mahal bagi sekolah untuk memilikinya. Untuk meningkatkan kesadaran siswa, rasa memiliki dan keterampilan bermain Gamelan, penelitian ini mencoba mengembangkan media pembelajaran untuk sistem operasi Android. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan penelitian dan pengembangan (R&D) proses pengembangan penelitian ini mengacu pada metode yang dikembangkan oleh Alessi & Trollip (2001). Berikutnya, Adobe Flash telah digunakan sebagai dasar pengembangan media dan setelah beberapa proses (perencanaan, desain, dan pengembangan) media pembelajaran ini siap untuk digunakan, hal itu karena hasil post-test menunjukkan peningkatan skor siswa pada pemahaman dan keterampilan mereka sebagai pemain pemula dalam memainkan Gamelan. Setidaknya, media pembelajaran ini menjadi cara alternatif untuk mempelajari alat musik tradisional Gamelan dengan menggunakan Android. AbstractGamelan is one of the most important traditional music instruments of Javanese culture, but it is too expensive for schools to have it. In order to enhance student awareness, sense of belonging and skills on playing Gamelan, this research tried to develop a learning media for Android operating system. By employing research and development (R & D) approach the development process of this research refers to Alessi & Trollip (2001). Adobe flash has been used as a basis of the media development and after several process (planning, design, and development) the learning media is ready to use, because the post-test indicated an increased student score on their understanding and beginner skills on playing Gamelan. At least, this learning media become an alternative way to learn Gamelan traditional music instrument by using Android.

“…However, not all electronic learning systems that uses smart devices to run implementing an adaptive learning approach. Moreover, in learning to play musical instruments, the systems generally are limited to the transformation of musical instruments into digital media as in the work of mobile-based gamelan electronic learning media [8], mobile-based hybrid digital-physical harp instrument [9], 3D virtual traditional Chinese instrument called yangqin [10], virtual traditional Brazilian maracatu [11].…”

Gamelan Land: A Multiplayer Virtual Reality Game based on a Social Presence Approach

“…A system of learning and playing Gamelan music in orchestral mode which can be accessed by the public simultaneously without limitations of place and time was proposed in this study. In existing similar works, systems for learning to play Gamelan music developed by [6][7] has not implemented immersive learning that can bring users into a virtual environment. Virtual Reality (VR) can be used for immersive simulation by imitating the real or imagined world through a desktop screen or HMD, and HMD is a device that provides high immersive display quality [8].…”
