Development of Computer-Based Learning Media Using Mind Map for Learning Mathematics in Topics of Rectangle and Triangle at Secondary School

Abstract

Computer-based learning media in this rectangle and triangle subject matter uses mind map. Mind map is a technique for delivering information that emphasizes the relationship between one subject and another so that it can help convey rectangle and triangle material. Mind map presentation on rectangle and triangle material is more optimal if presented with a computer because it can provide animation that can generate motivation, help the effectiveness of the learning process, attract and direct the attention of students to concentrate on the content, facilitate the achievement of learning goals and most importantly help students to understand material that is rectangle and triangle. The research model used is a model of research and development adapted according to Borg and Gall. The aim of the study was to develop computer-based mathematics learning media using mind maps on rectangle and triangular subject matter for class VII SMP / MTs students who had met the requirements for validity and practicality. Large group trials were conducted in class VII2 MTsN 3 Pekanbaru with a total of 36 students. Based on data analysis and discussion it can be concluded that this computer-based mathematics learning media is very valid in terms of curriculum, learning, display and programs with validation results of 3.45. This learning media also meets practical requirements with an average student response of 3.47.
