Development of Sparkol VideoScribe-Based Mathematics Learning Media for Assignment Problems in Linear Programming

Abstract

Introduction: The teaching of linear programming in higher education often presents difficulties due to its abstract and analytical nature, particularly in assignment-related problem-solving tasks. Conventional instructional approaches that rely heavily on verbal explanation and static materials tend to limit students’ conceptual understanding and engagement. The integration of technology-based learning media, such as Sparkol VideoScribe, offers an alternative approach by combining visual animation and narrative explanation to enhance learning experiences.
Objectives: This study aims to develop Sparkol VideoScribe-based mathematics learning media for assignment topics in linear programming and to evaluate its validity, practicality, and effectiveness in improving students’ understanding.
Methods: This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) design using a systematic development model consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The participants were undergraduate mathematics students. Data were collected through expert validation instruments, student response questionnaires, and learning outcome assessments. The developed media were evaluated in terms of validity by experts, practicality through implementation, and effectiveness based on student learning outcomes and responses.
Results: The findings indicate that the developed learning media achieved a high level of validity according to expert evaluation. The implementation results showed that the media were practical and easily used in the learning process. Furthermore, the effectiveness test revealed that the use of Sparkol VideoScribe significantly improved students’ understanding of linear programming assignment problems, as reflected in improved learning outcomes and positive student responses.
Conclusions: Sparkol VideoScribe-based learning media is a valid, practical, and effective instructional tool for teaching linear programming, particularly in assignment-related topics. The integration of animated visualizations and structured explanations enhances students’ engagement and supports better conceptual understanding in mathematics learning.
