The Effectiveness of a Learning Management System (LMS) in the Learning Process of Mekongga Regional Language

Abstract

Mekongga Regional Language is essential in cultural heritage preservation; however, there are still challenges in the learning process because of limited resources and accessibility. This research examines the effectiveness of a Learning Management System (LMS) in learning the Mekongga Regional Language. The Research and Development method was used in this research, along with the ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model approach. The first stage, Analyze, was carried out to understand the needs and requirements for learning. In the Design stage, an LMS is designed based on the results of the preceding analysis. The following stage is Development, in which the LMS system is built based on the design that has been designed. The LMS system is introduced to groups of Mekongga Regional Language students and teachers during the Implementation stage. They are given training on using the platform and asked to engage in the learning process through the LMS. The final stage is Evaluation, which assesses the effectiveness of the LMS. Observation, questionnaires, and interviews were used to collect data. The results indicated that implementing a Learning Management System with an ADDIE method approach can improve the effectiveness of Mekongga Language learning.
