The Use of Audio Visual-Media in Teaching Dance to Enhance Student Engagement in Secondary School

Audiovisual media, which combines sound and image elements, is believed to be able to create a more interesting, interactive, and effective learning atmosphere. This study aims to determine how the use of audiovisual media as a dance learning tool at Bandung National Junior High School can increase student involvement in the teaching and learning process. This study uses a quantitative method with a one group pretest-posttest design. The instrument used is a student involvement questionnaire compiled based on behavioral, emotional, and cognitive indicators. Measurements were taken before and after students received dance learning using audiovisual media. The data obtained were analyzed using and paired sample t-test to determine the effect of the use of audiovisual media on student involvement in dance learning. The results of data testing in the field showed an increase in student involvement in the dance learning process with a significance value (p-value): 0.001 much smaller than 0.05, indicating a significant difference before and after the application of audiovisual media. Thus, the use of this media can be a solution to increase student involvement in a more optimal dance learning process.
