UTILIZATION OF GOOGLE FORMS IN LANGUAGE LEARNING TO UNDERSTAND HADIH MADJA FOR MANAGEMENT VERSUS PHYSICS EDUCATION STUDENTS IN ACEH

Abstract

Hadih madja is an Acehnese proverb as a cultural heritage related to oral language which is increasingly losing its popularity in the digital era, especially among young people. Language learning to maintain the cultural heritage of the Acehnese nation such as hadih madja requires the use of Google forms in the development of technology. Google forms are needed to determine the understanding of hadih madja. This study is a descriptive qualitative study. Participants were selected by purposive sampling consisting of 50 management students versus 50 physics education students at Samudra University who mastered the Acehnese language to fill out Google forms. It is concluded that both parties understand that hadih madja is a guideline for life by Acehnese and both parties understand that revitalization of hadih madja is needed. However, the understanding of both parties differs in the agreement of lecturers and students about the understanding of hadih madja. While for the understanding of the suitability of hadih madja with the development of the era, management students can answer clearly and dominantly while there is no majority percentage interval for physics education students in this case. Thus, Google Forms is very useful in finding out students' understanding of Hadih Madja.
