Abstract

The facilitation and management of changes can support the success of community empowerment. In the process, appropriate facilitation and management of changes in teaching materials are needed. This study aims to construct the teaching materials for facilitation strategies and management of changes by Indonesian society's socio-cultural characteristics. The research and development method was carried out using the Borg and Gall model to achieve this goal. The result shows that the teaching material needed in the facilitation strategy and management of changes includes three aspects: knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Overall, facilitators know empowerment facilitation but still feel they lack facilitation skills in practices. The personal communication skills most needed are probing and paraphrasing. The collaboration skills most wanted to improve in the community group are building group dynamics and teamwork, building belief and confidence, encouraging full participation, supporting conflict resolution, encouraging inclusive solutions, giving and receiving feedback, encouraging mutual understanding, and monitoring the role and group level. The most preferred attitudes for a community empowerment facilitator are unconditional trust in group abilities, building empathy, building interest in others, and an unconditional positive outlook. According to the audience, suitable teaching materials use easy-to-understand language, illustrated pictures or videos that work well, and include real examples in the field. Teaching materials must be designed to be attractive and user-friendly. In this case, it can be done in further research.

Abstract

This study explores the concept of community education, emphasizing the role of tutors in facilitating effective learning experiences for adults. Community education empowers individuals by enhancing their knowledge, skills, and awareness of societal issues. Tutors play a crucial role in this process, employing various teaching strategies to engage learners and cater to their needs. However, challenges exist, including tutor qualifications, teaching consistency, and adult learning management. The study introduces the concept of Andragogy, which focuses on empowering adults in their learning journey, considering their real-life circumstances and learning preferences. Andragogy highlights the importance of interactive teaching methods, enjoyable programs, and personalized approaches. The research develops an interactive multimedia Andragogy (MIA) module using the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) model. This module aims to enhance community education tutors' teaching capabilities for adult learners. Survey data analysis reveals that the MIA Module significantly improves participants' media literacy comprehension and information access skills. The module's learner-centered approach and interactive design align with educational theories like experiential learning and constructivism, promoting active engagement and critical thinking. Moreover, the module's adaptability and flexible learning strategies resonate with Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles, ensuring inclusivity. The study highlights the positive impact of the MIA Module on enhancing media literacy and information access skills within the context of community education. The module's design, adaptability, and interactive elements make it relevant and effective in contemporary education.
