Development of Section Comb Media as a Project Tool in Learning Hair Coloring

Introduction

Development of section comb media as a project tool in learning hair coloring. Develops a section comb as a learning tool to improve hair coloring competencies. Research shows this new media is very feasible, effective (N-Gain 58.47), and practical for students.

Abstract

This research was motivated by the suboptimal achievement of hair coloring learning competencies. To address student difficulties in learning hair coloring, it is necessary to develop learning media relevant to student needs, namely section combs. This research aims to: develop section combs as teaching aids in hair coloring learning; determine the feasibility of section combs as teaching aids in hair coloring learning; determine the effectiveness of section combs in improving students' hair coloring skills; and determine the practicality of section combs. This research uses the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) development model. Data analysis used in this study consisted of: quantitative descriptive analysis to determine the feasibility of section combs; N-Gain and independent sample t-tests to determine the effectiveness of section combs; and percentage distribution analysis to determine practicality. The feasibility test results found that the section combs were categorized as very feasible. The results of the effectiveness test found an N-Gain value of 58.47, included in the fairly effective category, and a T-Test value of 24.787, there was a significant increase between the average N-Gain of the experimental class and the control class. The practicality test of the section comb teaching aid found a value of 84, included in the "very practical" category.

Review

This paper addresses a pertinent and practical challenge in vocational education: the suboptimal achievement of hair coloring learning competencies among students. To mitigate these difficulties, the authors propose and rigorously evaluate the development of "section comb media" as an innovative project tool and teaching aid. The research systematically employed the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model, underscoring a methodical approach to instructional material design. The primary aims were to develop this specific media, assess its feasibility, determine its effectiveness in enhancing student skills, and evaluate its practicality in a learning environment. The findings presented are robust and consistently positive across all evaluation criteria. The feasibility test categorizes the section combs as "very feasible," suggesting they meet design and functional requirements effectively. Crucially, the effectiveness test, utilizing both N-Gain scores and independent sample t-tests, demonstrated a significant positive impact. An N-Gain value of 58.47, categorized as "fairly effective," coupled with a substantial t-test value of 24.787, indicates a notable and statistically significant increase in the hair coloring skills of the experimental group compared to a control group. Furthermore, the practicality assessment yielded a high value of 84, placing the section comb media in the "very practical" category for use by students and educators alike. Overall, this research offers a valuable contribution to the field of vocational pedagogy, particularly in specialized skill-based learning environments. The successful development and validation of the section comb media provide a concrete, effective, and highly practical teaching aid that directly addresses identified learning gaps in hair coloring. The clear evidence of improved student skills positions this media as a promising tool for enhancing vocational training outcomes. Future work might elaborate on the specific instructional design principles embedded within the comb's features and explore its transferability to other complex vocational skills.
