Traditional teaching tools often fail to engage students and accommodate their diverse
learning preferences, and a lack of visualization skills has remained a problem in recent
years. This design-based research study aimed to design, develop, and evaluate
Animated Video as a Bimodal Tool to enhance storyboarding visualization skills in 2D
Animation. The study selected second to fourth-year animation students from 78
populations. A purposive sampling method was used, with sample size varying across
the four phases of the study. Data collection instruments included semi-structured
interviews and surveys. The study used a Design-Based Research approach embedded
with Mixed Method design including four phases: (1) Problem Identification and
Exploration: gathering challenges experienced by Animation students in using
visualization skills in storyboarding. Students face struggles in clarifying and
conceptualizing ideas, thumbnailing, and character and scene composition in
storyboarding, affecting their progress in creating storyboards; (2) Design and
Development: design and development of Animated Videos, aimed to address
challenges experienced by animation students; (3) Iterative Testing & Refinement and
Evaluation: the iterative testing and refinement are based on the animation teachers'
and experts' feedback, which showed that it needed refinement in terms of visual, audio,
and content. Findings revealed that the level of acceptability of the animated video is
highly acceptable in enhancing the storyboarding visualization skill of the animation
students; (4) Synthesis of Design Principles: The synthesized design principles
introduced Alignment With Multimedia Learning Theory, Multimodal Engagement,
Experiential Learning, Authentic Context, and Progressive Complexity. The study
concluded that the Animated Video as a Bimodal Tool enhances the storyboarding
visualization skills of the animation students. The researchers further recommended a
larger population to widen their perspective.
