A Learning Multimedia of Geometry Using Mayer Principles and J. Bruner Learning Approach

Abstract

The aim of this study is to produce learning multimedia products of geometry material for the fifth grade students of elementary school students using Mayer principles and J. Bruner learning approach. It also describes the effectiveness level of using multimedialearningaswellasimprovingstudents’masteryinachievingcognitivegoals of mathematics learning material especially the geometry after using the multimedia. This study applies the development research (R & D) method by adapting the Alessi & Trollip model. The stages in this study consist of planning, designing and developing stages. The results showed that the multimedia products produce were feasible as a mathematics learning media for geometry materials based on the validation by material and media experts on the alpha test with very good assessment, as well as the assessment conducted by 16 students in the beta test showed very good results.

So it has a gain value of 0.7 with a value that has a ”high” criterion.
