This study aimed at describing the implementation of the 2013 curriculum in learning Japanese at elementary schools in Bali, considering that learning Japanese has not been taught only in high /vocational school level. The results of questionnaires and interviews revealed that only 20% of them have implemented the 2013 curriculum for Japanese language. The context of Japanese language learning at this level is the addition of character education and literacy. From the respondents (students), it was found that there was a tendency for students to like Japanese (67.4%), because they were interested in Hiragana and Katakana letters, besides of Japanese culture and food. On the contrary, respondents who were not interested stated the difficulty of memorizing Japanese letters as reasons for their dislike. This study also showed that the nonoptimal implementation of the 2013 curriculum for Japanese was due to the absence of 2013 curriculum-based learning tools.
This study aims to develop a digital teaching media using PowToon that will help raise the integration of ICT in the young learner classroom. In this study, a design and development research method (DDR) was used. The media were developed by applying phases of ADDIE. The development was based on questionnaires, interviews, and the syllabus of the elementary level. Four to six topics in each grade were developed using PowToon. Upon completion of the development phase, 31 prototypes were consulted with material and media experts. Although those media were categorized as excellent media, some improvements were still conducted in compliance with the experts' suggestions. The PowToon-based video media reached its final form following the applications in the classroom in line with observations conducted during its application and the feedback given by the teachers and students.
