Abstract

This study aims to explore student satisfaction with the use of podcasts as a learning medium in the Non-News Radio Production course. A qualitative approach was used, with three open-ended questions posed to students: (1) What different experiences did you have when listening to the course material via podcast?(2) Did listening to the course material through podcasts help you focus on understanding the material? And why? And (3) provide your opinion on the Adapto podcast material shared during the Non-News Radio Production course in the 4th semester. The data obtained was thematically analyzed to identify the main emerging themes. The results indicate that students appreciated the flexibility and ease of access provided by the podcasts. Some students felt that podcasts helped them focus better and understand the materials, while others mentioned challenges in maintaining concentration. Feedback on the Adapto podcast content was generally positive, though students also offered suggestions for improvement. These findings suggest that podcasts hold significant potential as an effective learning medium, especially in audio-based courses such as Non-News Radio Production. However, to maximize its benefits, attention should be given to content design and the integration of interactive elements to enhance students’ engagements.

Bahasa Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi kepuasan mahasiswa terhadap penggunaan podcast sebagai media pembelajaran. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan mengajukan tiga pertanyaan terbuka kepada mahasiswa: (1) Apa pengalaman berbeda yang kamu rasakan ketika mendengarkan materi ajar kuliah via podcast?; (2) Apakah mendengarkan materi ajar melalui podcast membantumu untuk fokus memahami materi? Mengapa?; dan (3) Berikan pendapatmu tentang materi podcast Adapto yang telah dibagikan selama perkuliahan Produksi Non Berita Radio di semester 4 ini. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis secara tematik untuk mengidentifikasi tema utama yang muncul. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa menghargai fleksibilitas dan kemudahan akses yang ditawarkan oleh podcast. Beberapa mahasiswa merasa bahwa podcast membantu mereka lebih fokus dan memahami materi dengan lebih baik, sementara yang lain mengemukakan tantangan dalam mempertahankan konsentrasi. Pendapat tentang konten podcast Adapto umumnya positif, namun mahasiswa juga memberikan saran untuk peningkatan. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa podcast memiliki potensi besar sebagai media pembelajaran yang efektif, terutama dalam konteks mata kuliah yang berbasis audio seperti Produksi Non Berita Radio. Namun, untuk memaksimalkan manfaatnya, perlu adanya perhatian terhadap desain konten dan integrasi elemen interaktif untuk meningkatkan keterlibatan mahasiswa.
