Abstract

     The objectives of this research were to investigate the teacher development process and results of the teacher development in learning media production and to examine analytical thinking skills and opinions of the students learning with the learning media to promote their analytical thinking skills based on local wisdom. The target group consisted of 24 teachers and 406 students. The research instruments were a documentary analysis, a brainstorming guideline, a teachers’ behavior observation, a teacher interview, a student interview, a workshop pre- and posttest, a satisfaction questionnaire for the teachers, and an analytical thinking skill pre- and posttest. The quantitative data were statistically analyzed for percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The content analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data. The research results revealed that the teacher development process utilized four steps of the action research process, which included planning, action, observation, and reflection, based on the workshop and follow-up supervision. The results of the teacher development in learning media production revealed that the average knowledge level in learning media production of the teachers after the workshop was higher than before the workshop at 27.78% and their satisfaction with the development was generally at the highest level. The comparison on the analytical thinking skill pre- and posttest scores of the students revealed that the posttest mean scores were higher in every level. The students’ opinions revealed that they were happy and enjoyed learning with the media, enabling them to have knowledge and understanding in analyzing, categorizing, classifying, connecting, ordering, and explaining issues logically. They also loved and took pride in their arts and culture, customs and tradition, and community lifestyles.
