International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering (IJRTE) ISSN: 2277-3878, Volume-8 Issue-6, March 2020 The Application of Bonang Gamelan Music Based on Mobile Application Wan Hassan W A S., Rosli D.I., Ariffin A., Ahmad F., Jamin J learning which was practiced at local institutions of higher Abstract: The application of bonang gamelan music based on learning such as Malaysian Open University (OUM) (Zoraini, mobile application was developed with the aim of maintaining the 2010). This aspect will indirectly increase the productivity of tradition of traditional musical instruments in the society of this individual skills in daily life as well as foster continuous modern day. Users can recognise and learn how to play the traditional musical instruments, especially bonang gamelan by learning practices. Striking from the use of distance learning using mobile phone technology. This application provides and e-learning methods, the education world strives to convenience for users without spending time and money and they explore the dimensions of learning for users who want to learn can also access it anywhere. The development of this animated anytime and anywhere. Then, the term learning method is application is based on the ADDIE methodology and uses Adobe mobile or is called m-learning (Brown, 2005). This Flash software as a platform to develop this music app. The respondents involved in the development of this music app consist m-learning method is akin to self-learning using mobile of six (6) specialists in bonang gamelan music and IT devices such as mobile telephony, personal digital assistant professionals. The user respondents were ten (10) students of the (PDA), Palm Talk and others as learning tools (Wagner, Faculty of Technical and Vocational Education (FPTV). The 2005). evaluation of this application was carried out using Through the use of m-learning methods, the learning questionnaires. Overall, this application succeeds in meeting the process is no longer focused on a single platform or confined objectives and goals set out in the analysis phase although it still has its own weaknesses. It is hoped that the development of to a classroom but m-learning is more just-in-time, bonang gamelan music application based on mobile application just-in-case, on-the-move and on-demand (Traxler, 2007). will benefit all societies. This indicates that the use of mobile devices makes learning easier anytime and anywhere compared to using notebooks Keywords: Gamelan Music, Application, Teaching and that are easily damaged and durable (Ahmad Sobri Shuib, Learning 2010). This situation indicates that mobile devices such as mobile phones, Pocket PCs and others have the advantage of I. INTRODUCTION conventional materials. To date, this method of m-learning In line with the world's growth in information and has been widely applied in school subjects such as cience, communication technology, education is seen as one of the mathematics, English and music. most impactful aspects of this wave of globalisation. Formerly the Teaching and Learning (T&L) process only took II. PROBLEM STATEMENT place in the classroom and used materials such as books. Traditional musical instruments are less popular than the However, according to Chabra and Figueiredo (2002) the modern ones because they are considered outdated (Sutrisno existence and convenience of the internet makes all Hartana, 2007). Also, the cost of owning traditional musical information and knowledge accessible anywhere without the instrument is also considered as the production is quite constraints of time and place. Then, the term e-learning came complex and this can be said to be the main factor in the up, which is the process of learning online through the internet problem of lack of response in traditional musical instrument. such as forums, emails, blogs, websites and so on. In addition, efforts to promote traditional musical instruments In general, m-learning is the delivery of education through are futile as some societies consider things related to the internet using smartphones.

This method is used because it where the output of one stage becomes the input to the next is easy to collect, effective, economical and practical data (Steven McGriff, 2000). Figure 1 shows the process of which can save cost, energy and time (Adam, 2011). designing a learning module based on ADDIE theory. A. Population Sample The study samples involved in this study were randomly selected for the purpose of testing the functionality and evaluating the design of the developed application interface. The study respondents consisted of ten (10) Year 3 Semester 1 students for the 2017/2018 session as well as six (6) specialists consisting of experts in the field of advanced gamelan music and Information Technology specialists. B. Instrument The research instrument used by the developer is through questionnaire. There are two types of questionnaires used, Figure 1 process of designing a learning module based namely, experts and students. All selected intrusions will be on ADDIE theory (Steven McGriff, 2000) implemented based on the objectives set.
