Abstract
The use of media in learning can facilitate students in understanding something abstract to be more concrete. This study aims to describe: 1) The validity, practicality, and effectiveness of learning media based on Macromedia flash mathematics developed; 2) Improving students' spatial ability by using learning media based on Macromedia flash that was developed. This research is development research. This research was carried out through two stages, namely the stage of developing learning media based on Macromedia flash mathematics using the 4-D development model, and the stage of testing the learning media of learning based on Macromedia flash developed in class XIIMIA-1 and XIIMIA-2 SMA Negeri 1 Batang Kuis. From the results of trial I and trial II obtained: 1) The validity of the learning media developed was valid, the practicality of the learning media had met the practical criteria in terms of a) The validity of the learning media according to experts; b) The practicality test questionnaire of the mathematics learning media developed belongs to the practical category with a minimum score of 76% and the effectiveness of the learning media has met the effective criteria in terms of a) Classical student completeness of learning; b) Ideal use of time. 2) An increase in students' spatial ability in the first try is 66.67 increased to 77.5 in the second trial. Keywords : Development of Mathematics Learning Media, Macromedia Flash, Spatial Ability DOI : 10.7176/JEP/11-3-14 Publication date: January 31 st 2020
Highlights
The uses of technology in the field of education requires educators to be more creative and innovative to utilize technology as an effort to improve the quality of education in order to achieve learning objectives
The teacher said that some students did not really like mathematics, it was seen when the teacher taught in class, many students looked bored and did not understand what was explained by the teacher in front of the class, so this affected student learning outcomes which resulted in the low students' mathematical spatial abilities
Validity analysis of learning media supported by Macromedia flash developed from two aspects, namely the assessment of experts/practitioners of learning media and experts/practitioners of mathematics subjects
Summary
The uses of technology in the field of education requires educators to be more creative and innovative to utilize technology as an effort to improve the quality of education in order to achieve learning objectives. The role of learning media in the learning and teaching process is a unity that cannot be separated from the world of education. Learning media are all things that can be used to channel the sender's message to the recipient so that it can stimulate the thoughts, feelings, attention, and interests of students to learn (Tafanao, 2018). Learning media play an important role in the learning process so that it can improve the quality of education. The use of instructional media in the process of learning mathematics can arouse students' motivation and interest in learning independently
