Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Kodály Method specifically hand sign and rhythm syllable techniques in improving the musical literacy of non-music major university students. Addressing the prevalent issue of passive imitation in student choirs, this research employed a quantitative quasi-experimental post-test only control group design involving 40 participants from the Universitas Andalas Faculty of Law Student Choir. The experimental group underwent 12 sessions of intensive training utilizing Solfège hand signs and culturally adapted rhythm syllables while musical proficiency was measured using a validated sight-singing test assessing pitch and rhythm accuracy. Quantitative analysis using an independent sample t-test revealed a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group (t=6.513, p0.05) with data distribution confirmed as normal (Kolmogorov-Smirnov 0.05). These findings demonstrate that the intervention successfully bridged the gap between aural imitation and theoretical understanding. Consequently, the study confirms that the Kodály Method is a highly effective and time-efficient pedagogical strategy for adult beginners. By fostering musical independence and self-correction, this approach reduces reliance on rote learning. The research recommends implementing these techniques in non-formal higher education vocal training to accelerate the transition from novice singer to independent musician.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the management of the development of Islamic teaching materials at Telkom University, especially in integrating the values of sustainable development goals (SDGs). With a qualitative approach, research data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results showed that the teaching materials of Islamic Religion at Telkom University are not only in accordance with the learning outcomes (CLO and PLO) but also include the dimensions of SDGs, including economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection. In addition, the management of teaching material development applied is in accordance with the principles of teaching material development. The management model for developing teaching materials at Telkom University prioritizes the principles of collaboration and deliberation through focused discussion forums (FGDs) before the start of the new semester, which has proven effective in ensuring the relevance of teaching materials to regulatory needs and current social phenomena. The implication of this research is the need for other universities to adopt a collaboration-based and sustainability-oriented teaching material development model. In addition, the integration of SDGs values in learning materials can increase the relevance of higher education to global challenges. Learning processes that utilize technology also have a positive impact on student engagement and learning achievement.
