ENHANCING STUDENTS’ LEARNING EXPERIENCES USING INFOGRAPHIC-BASED MATERIALS AND TASKS

Abstrak

In facing the new normal, there are still challenges faced by teachers and learners in conducting the teaching and learning process in online classrooms, such as encouraging learners to actively contribute to their online learning experience and increase their learning autonomy. According to the constructivist learning theory, it is necessary to accommodate active learning for students, including in remote teaching, so that they can construct knowledge and gain values from the learning process. Therefore, this case study attempted to propose a teaching strategy to enhance students’ learning experience by using Infographics, both as learning materials and as a task for students to work on. This study used a Learning Experience Survey on 42 students of the Computer Engineering study program of IPB Vocational School taking the Integrated English subject. Research findings on learners’ responses showed that the use of infographic-material supports the students’ learning autonomy through asynchronous learning process, while the use of infographic tasks stimulated students’ creativity and motivation. The study implies that using Infographics as a digital tool to both teach and learn helps students obtain an insightful learning experience, enhance their digital literacy, and increase their motivation in learning English.
