q2 i? Descriptive post-learning results show 31.43% of students could create new ideas without following the example and 20% made interactive animation, compared with an initial 8.69% creating independently and 60.86% depending on the example picture. → Rohaeti 2019

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Descriptive analysis of the 68 students' media products before and after the ICT Application course. The article reports "the gain of creativity of their creat ion" from an initial 8.69% independent creation and 60.86% example-dependence to 31.43% new-idea creation and 20% animation-based props after learning.

"There were also found the gain of creativity of their creat ion that initially 8.69% and 60.86% of students still depending on example picture and the making of VBA for Excel means 39.14% still depending on the example of VBA for Excel"
