The Development of the Virtual Learning Media of the Sacred Object Artwork

ABTRACT

This research aimed to develop the virtual learning media of the sacred object artwork by applying the concept of the virtual technology in order to publicize knowledge on the cultural wisdom of the sacred object artwork. It was done by designing and developing the virtual learning media of the sacred object artwork for the virtual presentation. Subsequently, the virtual media which had been developed would be evaluated with the index of item-objective congruence (IOC) by ten experts. It was found that the IOC value was more than 0.8, so it indicated that the virtual learning media of the sacred object artwork which had been developed was consistent with the content. The meaning and knowledge about the sacred object artwork could be correctly conveyed through the virtual learning media; and moreover, the virtual learning media which had been constructed was brought into use in publicizing and transferring knowledge about the sacred object artwork to the sampling group of sixty persons. It was found in the research result that the learning result about the cultural wisdom of the sacred object artwork of the sampling group increased seeing from the comparison of the difference between the pre-test and post-test results after using the virtual learning media of the sacred object artwork. The hypothesis was tested by using T-Test, and it was found that there was a statistical significant difference at the level of 0.05 and the efficiency evaluation was measured by the satisfaction of the sampling group towards the virtual learning media of the sacred object artwork. The mean value was 4.81, and the standard deviation value was 0.39. Therefore, it could be said that the virtual learning media of the sacred object artwork which had been developed gave more effective learning process.
