The Interactive Whiteboard Promethean Attracts the Interest to Study of Millennial Accounting Students

Abstract

Entering the era of 4.0 requires all educational institutions to be ready to face the digital world. The digitization system requires mental preparation and media to be used in education. Higher education institutions such as Batam State Polytechnic has digitalized learning media, the Promethean interactive board. The purpose of this study is to find out how the use of interactive boards and how interactive boards can increase the learning interest of accounting students. This goal can be achieved by using research methods in the form of in-depth interviews of the 4 components of the question such as pedagogy, psychology, group interaction and the availability of promethean use to be proposed. The interview results showed that pedagogical components gained 77 percent, psychological 75 percent, group interactions gained 80 percent and the availability of promethean use was 83 percent. The interpretation of the results found that all components were in the very interested category with a percentage of 79 percent for accounting students learning to use the Promethean interactive board. Some negative reasons were obtained during the interview regarding technical errors and the lack of understanding of the teaching staff on the media. Batam State Polytechnic needs to conduct routine checks on 'Promethean' interactive board media.
