Abstract
The learning process has been carried out in the conventional way, this is caused by the teacher's understanding of using multimedia is still not optimal, so the learning method used is still limited. This phenomenon makes the researchers interested in doing this research. The purpose of the study to determine the effectiveness of multimedia use in improving mastery of cell concepts. this study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the use of interactive multimedia provides a good value of effectiveness in mastering the concept of students cells, compared with learning using conventional media. This is evidenced by the t test on spss obtained value t = 0.00. Based on these results the average value of the gain experimental class is greater, which is 41, compared to the average value of the gain control class, which is 32. The results of this study is indicate there are differences in learning by using interactive multimedia and learning with conventional media. The success of this research can be used by educators in supporting the learning process, especially in biology.
 Keywords: cell, Interactive Multimedia, Mastery of concepts.
Highlights
Education is a process, developing a personality that is universal for the dimensions of education in the learning process. (Sungkawan & Motlan, 2013)
When the learning process is carried out the educators often have difficulty in conveying an abstract concept, this is because the learning is still used Conventional, so, in the learning process technology is needed to facilitate the delivery of abstract concepts (Mahnun, 2012)
Technology is very helpful for students to understand better the concepts conveyed by educators in order to achieve learning goals, such as telephone, computer, internet, e-mail and so on, in this case using interactive multimedia that can be used in computers
Summary
Education is a process, developing a personality that is universal for the dimensions of education in the learning process. (Sungkawan & Motlan, 2013). Technology is very helpful for students to understand better the concepts conveyed by educators in order to achieve learning goals, such as telephone, computer, internet, e-mail and so on, in this case using interactive multimedia that can be used in computers. Research said that the use of multimedia could improve mastery of concepts has been carried out by several experts especially in the fields of science including Husein et al, (2015)., Rahmatiah, (2013)., Wiyono, (2012)., Widayat et al, (2014)., Sobarna et al, (2014)., Sumarni et al (2013) states that use multimedia can improve mastery of concepts, it can be stated that interactive multimedia is very helpful in conveying information in the learning process. The role of multimedia in learning is to help the abstract process become concrete (Sobarna, 2014)
