Utilization Of Smartphone As A Media For Making Educational Video About Prohibited Items At Airports To Increase Public Knowledge

Abstract

       This study aims to develop an educational media in the form of a video createdusing a smartphone to enhance public awareness regarding prohibited items at airports. The background of this research is based on the importance of public understanding of baggage regulations to improve aviation safety and security. An engaging, practical, and easily accessible educational medium is needed as a more effective alternative to conventional socialization efforts.

       The research method employed is Research and Development (R&D) based on the Borg and Gall model. The research procedures include identifying potentials and problems, data collection, product design, expert validation, product revision, and trial testing with respondents. The trial subjects were airport passengers selected through purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted using a one-group pretest-posttest design, and the data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon non-parametric test.

       The results indicate that the educational video produced using a smartphone can significantly improve public understanding of prohibited items at airports. This is evidenced by an increase in the pretest score from 47.2% to 99.6% in the posttest, showing a 52.4% improvement. The video is considered effective, practical, and accessible, making it a compelling and efficient alternative medium for airport authorities, especially at Kalimarau Class I Airport in Berau, East Kalimantan, where the research was conducted.
