Abstract

This research and development (R&D) study aims at utilizing a highly trending social media platform, TikTok, as an audio-visual online learning medium for South Sumatra’s local wisdom course in the History Education program of Universitas Sriwijaya. This study uses the ADDIE development model as its framework, framing the whole process in its five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The research subject chosen was History Education students at Universitas Sriwijaya. Two validation points were used to gauge the validity and effectiveness of the proposed learning medium, namely the results of expert validation and field trials. There are three aspects of the learning medium to be validated by experts on related fields: the materials, the language, and the visuals. The results returned positive with the materials aspect getting a score of 4.67 (very valid), the language aspect getting a score of 4.67 (very valid), and the visuals getting a score of 4.85 (very valid). Meanwhile, the results of the field trials returned with a normalized n-gain of 0.9 (highly effective). These results mean that the proposed online learning medium using TikTok as its platform was proven both valid and effective.
