KARAKTERISTIK MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS GENDER

Umi Pujiyanti, Yustin Sartika

Abstract

The use of digital applications as a learning medium is one of the efforts to integrate technology and education. This descriptive qualitative research aims at figuring out how are the characters of Stop Motion Studio (SMS) and Life Lapse (LL), and how the preferences of both applications are used on a gender basis during the teaching-learning process at the English Letters Department, IAIN Surakarta. The SMS and LL are taken into account as the main sources of user interface characteristics. Further, there are 32 students of History of English Language and Literature (HELL) involved in this study to response to the applications’ user interface based on the gender through questionnaire and interview. The results exhibit a more neutral design of SMS compared to a more feminine LL. Secondly, gender indeed plays role in choosing the application between SMS and LL. Yet more detailed reasons for the preference are the ease of usage and feature completeness.

 

Keywords: Gender, User-Interface, Mirroring-Principle, Learning Media.
