THE POTENTIAL OF MOBILE APPLICATION FOR SUPPORTING GAMELAN LEARNING: AN EXPLORATION OF STUDENTS’ LEARNING EXPERIENCE

Summary/Abstract: In this study, an exploration was carried out on the use of gamelan mobile applications on gamelan students to see the influence of these applications on the students’ learning processes and the factors of gamelan mobile applications that can support and inhibit their learning process. This research is a qualitative approach that uses an exploratory case study. The population is selected using purposive sampling, which is a gamelan class, and the sample is saron barung gamelan players chosen based on homogeneous sampling. Due to the limitation of complete Malay gamelan instruments on the mobile application, this study is used a Javanese mobile gamelan application. The gamelan mobile application used is the E-Gamelan mobile application because the application provides complete gamelan instruments and has several suitable criteria for this study. Four instruments were used to apply the triangulation method during the data collection to ensure that the data obtained were well-proven. After the data has been collected, they were processed using thematic analysis. The results of this study are expected to be an evaluation of gamelan class that can further extend or increase the duration of students practice in getting maximum results, then provide ideas and views for gamelan trainers or instructors to use mobile gamelan applications as an additional tool to support the training and learning process to be more flexible. Lastly, provide insights for gamelan developers to build complete Gamelan applications in the future.
