The Effect of Art-Based Learning to Improve Teaching Effectiveness in Pre-Service Teachers

Abstract

This research aims to examine the effect of applying art-based learning model to the learning outcomes of effective teaching behavior of students in microteaching classes. The research design used a quasi-experimental design of non-equivalent control group design. Participants were students’ microteaching classes in the Department of Islamic Studies, Universitas Islam Malang academic year 2018/2019. The subjects of this study were 103 pre-service teacher students consisting of 4 classes (2 experimental classes and 2 control classes, (54) in the experimental group, (49) in the control class). The experimental classes are taught art-based learning models and control classes are taught by practice-based models. The data tools used teacher observation instrument connecting descriptions of how effective teaching was. Research data were analyzed by independent sample t-test. It was found that pre-service teacher students’ outcomes in the form of effective teaching behavior produced by art-based learning is higher than student learning outcomes used practice-based models.
