PEMANFAATAN PLATFORM MUSICCA SEBAGAI MEDIA INTERAKTIV DALAM PEMBELAJARAN MUSIK DI KELAS X 1 SMAN 3 PADANG

Abstract

Music learning in schools plays an important role in developing students’ cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. However, in practice, several challenges are still encountered, particularly the low level of student participation in learning, especially in music theory materials. This condition is caused using conventional, less interactive, and teacher-centered teaching methods, which make students tend to be passive and less motivated to engage in the learning process. This study aims to describe and analyze the use of the musicca platform as a music learning medium to improve student participation in class X of SMA Negeri 3 Padang. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects were 36 students of class X-1. The results showed that the use of the musicca platform had a positive impact on increasing student participation in music learning. In the initial meeting, students experienced difficulties in using the platform and showed a low level of participation. However, in subsequent meetings, students became more active, engaged in learning activities, and were able to use the platform independently. In the final stage, most students demonstrated a significant increase in participation, which was indicated by increased activeness, improved interaction during the learning process, and better understanding of music concepts such as reading notation and intervals. Thus, the use of the Musicca platform as a digital learning medium has proven to be effective in improving student participation and understanding in music learning.
