Abstract

Problem root of this research is the low students Mathematic learning outcome and Mathematic learning orientation happened recently did not emphasize students to have appropriate conceptual understanding. This causes the decrease of students’ conceptual understanding, so they are not able to complete Mathematic problems given and tend not to study independently. To overcome this problem in this research Macromedia Flash learning media Is developed which is implemented by using discovery learning model which aims at increasing students conceptual understanding and grow students’ independent learning. Process of developing learning media in this study is conducted to find out validity, practicality and effectiveness of that media. Data of the study shows that learning media developed has met the level of validity, practicality and effectiveness. The results of validity are at a valid level; practicality seen from the implementation of learning media is at high level and the effectiveness seen from students’ response shows positive result, time management of students is ideal, and students’ learning outcomes are good. The student learning independence questionnaire after the learning process using media is increasing.

Highlights

  • Modern education goal is to train students to have long live learning and right in taking decisions

  • The first try out is conducted in the XIIPA1 and the second try out is conducted in the XIIPA3, while the object of this research is learning media using the macromedia flash software by implementing discovery learning model

  • The learning media effectiveness developed in terms of learning outcomes at the pretest and posttest increased in 1st try out and 2nd try out

Summary

Introduction

Modern education goal is to train students to have long live learning and right in taking decisions. Learning as a process to gain knowledge, skills, and routines will be more effective if new knowledge gained from some learning experiences is facilitated by multimedia [1]. Related to this issue, Depdiknas [2] states that Mathematic is universal knowledge which underlies the development of modern technology; it has an important role in various disciplines and develops human thinking ability. Students’ Mathematic ability at MAN Simalungun was low. It is in line with a study conducted by Hasibuan [4]
