SRI HARYATI

Abstract

Digital-based teaching media possess very high production quality capable of showcasing complex ideas in a short period of time. Later, the digital-based teaching media is well developed in millennial era indicating by the productivity escalation of it. This study aim at investigating (1) the trending application resorted by the teaching media designers to create the digital-based teaching media; (2) the problems faced by millennial teachers in creating the digital-based teaching media; (3) the underlying factors of the problems; (4) the efforts of digital teaching media designers to overcome the problems. Using descriptive qualitative, the 129 digital teaching media designers (millennial teachers) within 22-37 years old were investigated about the process and the product of digital-based teaching media. Questionnaire, interview, and document analysis used to assemble the data. The data were analyzed using the Interactive Model of data analysis. Triangulation technique facilitated the data validation and verification later. The result of the research shows that (1) the there are trending applications resorted by designer to create the digital teaching media such as prezi, movie maker and kine toon; (2) Less creativity and understanding towards technology become the major problems; (3) The lack of knowledge in technology and the dependency to make use the ready-made digital teaching media be the prominent factors causing the problem in designing digital teaching media; (4) Enhancing the creativity, innovation and technology sensitivity is the top solution proposed by teachers. The research implies that being the digital teaching media developers need extra efforts. Moreover, improving the technology sensitivity towards the current technology for teaching assists the designer better.
