THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GAMIFICATION IN WEB DESIGN TECHNOLOGIES
The results show that students give positive results related to the use of Battle Web in their Teaching and Learning (T&L) sessions, and Battle Web impacts students' learning process in terms of motivation, attitude, and cognitive development.
Abstract
Students that take the Web Design Technologies programming course think this course is difficult to learn because they need to master various programming languages which are Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), JavaScript (JS), and jQuery. Therefore, in line with the development of technology, lecturers should change traditional methods to modern learning methods with the use of technology that is suitable to the millennial generation. This situation is also due to the COVID-19 pandemic phenomenon which requires lecturers to act creatively in using teaching aids that are able to assist students' self-learning using online methods and distance learning. Therefore, this study was conducted to study the use of Battle Web gamification that was built using the ADDIE model as a teaching aid for the Web Design Technologies course. Questionnaires with six constructs were distributed to get feedback with the involvement of 53 students. Data were collected and analyzed using SPSS software. Item reliability is implemented to ensure the quality of the questionnaire items and the data obtained. The results show that students give positive results related to the use of Battle Web in their Teaching and Learning (T&L) sessions. Battle Web impacts students' learning process in terms of motivation, attitude, and cognitive development because Battle Web has appropriate multimedia elements, clear instructions and the language used is easy to understand.
