PENGUATAN PEMAHAMAN MENDALAM MAKNA GERAK TARI PERSEMBAHAN BENGKULU MELALUI MEDIA INTERAKTIF MAGPEBU BERBASIS ASESMEN DASAR

Abstract

Learning dance in elementary school often stops at imitating movements without understanding the cultural meaning behind them. This study aimed to describe the strengthening of fifth-grade students’ deep understanding of the meaning of Bengkulu Persembahan dance movements through MAGPEBU, an interactive learning medium based on basic assessment. The study used a descriptive quantitative approach with a one-group pretest–posttest design involving 24 fifth-grade students (class 5A) at SDN 07 Kota Bengkulu. Data were collected through a basic assessment (pretest) and a posttest, then analyzed using normalized gain (N-gain). The mean score increased from 62.50 to 87.92, with a mean N-gain of 0.74 (high category). Fifteen students (62.5%) were in the high category, seven (29.2%) in the medium category, and two (8.3%) in the low category; 23 of the 24 students improved their scores. These findings indicate that MAGPEBU is promising for strengthening students’ understanding of movement meaning and local wisdom.
