Development of module prototypes and statistical learning videos in the new normal era of COVID-19

Abstract

This research was carried out with the main objective of developing tools that can help the learning process of students in statistics courses who have had difficulty improving their learning outcomes because of the lack of learning materials prepared by lecturers for them to be used as the main reference while programming the course. Departing from the in-depth needs analysis carried out and the research method used, namely research and development, the researcher then designs a prototype of teaching materials that will be developed in the form of modules and learning videos. After that, the prototype was validated by two experts in the field of teaching material development. The results showed that 20 students out of a total of 27 respondents saw that they needed the latest learning modules and videos that could make it easier for them to complete the subject matter because what had been used by lecturers so far still made it difficult for them to learn because the instruction and exposure to information did not meet the needs of students. The prototype modules and learning videos that have been developed are declared valid by experts in several aspects, namely self-instruction aspects, self-contained aspects, stand-alone aspects, adaptive aspects, and user-friendly aspects, so they are suitable for use by lecturers because they can help student’s complete lessons so that their learning outcomes can improve.
