Instructional Management Using Songs and Music Videos to Enhance Students’ Understanding of Mediation under the Mediation Act A.D. 2019

Abstract

This research entitled “Instructional Management Using Songs and Music Videos to Enhance Students’ Understanding of Mediation under the Mediation Act A.D. 2019” aims to: 1) examine the consistency between the lyrics and music video of the song “Rao Khui Kan Dai” and the concepts and principles of dispute mediation; 2) compare students’ learning achievement before and after the instructional management using songs and music videos; and 3) investigate students’ satisfaction with this instructional approach.

This study employs a mixed-methods research design. The  Documentary research was conducted to analyze the consistency between the song lyrics and the relevant concepts, theories, and legal principles related to dispute mediation. Quantitative research methods were used to examine students’ learning achievement and satisfaction. The sample consisted of students enrolled in the course on Alternative Dispute Resolution. The research instruments included pre-test and post-test achievement tests as well as a satisfaction questionnaire regarding the instructional management. The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and comparative analysis of pre-test and post-test scores.

The findings reveals that the lyrics and music video of the song “Rao Khui Kan Dai” reflect key concepts and principles of mediation, including negotiation, conciliation, peaceful communication, and the resolution of disputes through amicable means. The comparison of learning achievement indicates that the students’ post-test scores were higher than their pre-test scores at the .05 statistical significance level, demonstrating that the use of songs and music videos as instructional media effectively enhanced students’ understanding of mediation processes. Furthermore, the results of the satisfaction assessment showed that students reported the highest level of satisfaction with the instructional approach. They indicated that such media made the lessons more engaging, easier to understand, and more closely connected to real-life situations. The results suggest that integrating creative media such as songs and music videos into legal education can effectively enhance students’ learning outcomes and promote a better understanding of alternative dispute resolution processes.
