Developing Computer-Assisted Tutorial Instructional Program for Teaching Grammar In Higher Education
Abstract: The aims of this
research were to: (1) gain information on the existing condition of learning
media which are used by lecturers to teach grammar, (2) develop the proper
media which is suitable for the students’ need and appropriate to teach
grammar, and (3) find out the feasibility of the proposed media. Research and
Development method was used in this research. The research consisted of
exploration stage and development stage. Observation, questionnaire, and
interview were used to gain the data, while Spiral Data Analysis was used to
analyze the data. From the exploration stage, it was found out that the media
usually used by the lecturer to teach grammar were Power Point Presentation and
handouts. The weaknesses of these media were lecturer dependent, bad presentation,
time consuming, non-independent learning, device malfunction, and limited
exercises. It was also revealed that Computer Assisted Instruction was not used
to teach grammar while it was needed. Moodle based English Grammar Gate was
designed as an answer to the students’ need. It consisted of two major parts;
they are: tutorial part and exercise part. Expert judgment was done to validate
the product. The experts suggested several improvements and revision was made
regarding the evaluation given. The revised product was then used in field
testing to find out the feasibility of the product. Facing two field testing
processes and having several revision toward the product, it was then stated
feasible.
