Implementation of Instagram as a Blended Learning Media in Pneumatic Control System Learning Using the ADDIE Model

Abstract

During and towards the end of the pandemic, the government took a learning policy by requiring learning at home and at school. This makes students' understanding of the material taught reduced, so effective learning media is needed in order to support the learning process. One of these learning media is blended learning. The purpose of this study is to determine the implementation of Instagram media as one of the blended learning in Pneumatic Control System learning. This research method uses the ADDIE approach model (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). Researchers used a social media application that is widely known to teenagers/students, namely Instagram. The Blended Learning policy used by the sample SMK is 50% learning from home and 50% learning at school. Data collection was carried out with questionnaires to determine student responses to the use of the Instagram social media application as a learning support. The results showed that the Instagram application deserves to be a medium to support learning and can increase the learning achievement of vocational students.
