The Effectiveness of Interactive Learning Media Based on Adobe Flash in Improving Learning Achievement at Primary Schools

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Adobe Flash-based interactive learning media that is used in improving the learning outcomes of elementary school students. Student learning outcomes must be improved in order to have competencies by learning outcomes and graduate quality standards. Primary school is the foundation in the education system that must be followed by every student. If a student receives a good and quality education and learning in elementary school, it will be easier to get an education and to learn at the next level of education. The use of adobe flash-based interactive learning media can help students to learn better and easier to understand the learning material. Teachers can create learning to enjoy learning systems and improve student learning achievement. This research uses research and development (R&D) design to produce an adobe flash-based interactive learning media product. The product is firstly carried out due diligence by media experts and learning material experts, which are then conducted experiments. The experiments were carried out on 35 students as the experimental class and 35 students as the control class. Data collected through observation and test student learning outcomes. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics and t-tests to determine differences in learning outcomes between the experimental class and the control class. Based on the overall assessment results of each stage that has been passed, the interactive learning media based on Adobe Flash is feasible to use and shows an increase in student learning outcomes in primary schools. Student achievement using adobe flash-based learning media is better than student achievement in the control class. Teachers can use adobe flash-based interactive learning media in improving the quality of learning and student learning outcomes. This media is very appropriate to be developed in creating a fun learning for students by developing more new teaching materials and motivating students to study hard.
