Choreography Teaching Module Design (With The Borg And Gall Approach)

Abstract

This study aims to design teaching materials for choreography courses with a personal approach to facilitate the learning process in the Dance Arts Department of FSD UNM. The design of this textbook uses the Borg and Gall design method (1989). This method begins with a needs analysis to produce hypothetical products as a basic research method. Experiments or action research are then used to test the hypothetical product. After the product has been tested through expert validation, it can be applied on a small and then a large scale. The process of testing products with experiments is called applied research, although this initial research is limited to situation/needs analysis. The results showed that: 1) Learning is less effective due to the lack of books or teaching materials related to choreography, especially for learning environmental choreography. 2) When students learn independently, the materials and concepts of dance compositions they produce will vary. Therefore, it is important to design teaching materials packaged in the form of teaching modules specifically made for choreography learning. This teaching module is important to help the teaching process because it contains teaching materials according to the curriculum and can also facilitate communication between teachers and students. 3) Dance study programme students are in non-educational study programmes or more familiarly called study programmes with pure dance science, whose outputs are prepared to become choreographers and researchers, but currently, there are also opportunities as educators. For this reason, the provided teaching material can help students achieve this.
