DEVELOPMENT OF AN INDUSTRY-ORIENTED DIGITAL ARCHIVING SIMULATION AS AN INTERACTIVE LEARNING AS AN INTERACTIVE LEARNING MEDIUM FOR VOCATIONAL STUDENTS

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and evaluate ARSIMDU (Archive Simulation for Digital Office) as an interactive digital learning medium for digital records management in the Office Management and Business Services vocational program. This Research and Development study adapted the Borg and Gall model into six stages: preliminary study, product development, expert validation and revision, field trials, and final revision and dissemination. ARSIMDU integrates instructional materials, digital archiving simulations, cognitive quizzes, competency monitoring, and learning reports. Validation scores were 88% from the media expert and 90% from the subject-matter expert, both categorized as Very Valid. Practicality scores were 87% in the small-scale trial with 35 students and 89% in the large-scale trial with 105 students, both categorized as Very Practical. These findings indicate that ARSIMDU meets the criteria for validity and practicality as a digital learning medium for vocational digital records management. However, the findings do not establish its effectiveness in improving students’ digital records management competence.
