Abstract

Multimedia learning is also known as learning media, which involves information technology in the form of computer or Android, by bringing together two or more elements consisting of voice, video, text and images incorporated in a multimedia software for students interactively. The purpose of this research is: (1) improving student achievement through multimedia learning in robotics course; (2) compare the students' learning achievement between classes that apply multimedia learning application with the class using conventional method. This research method using an experiment that is comparing two different treatment. Information on learning achievement was obtained through the test. The object of this research is the student of informatics engineering STMIK AKBA, Indonesia even semester of year 2016/2017 which take the course of robotics. Sampling using purposive sampling technique counted 60 people. Analysis of research results using descriptive and inferential analysis. The research results showed that: (1) the application of multimedia learning can improve student achievement for robotics courses; (2) the difference test shows that the learning achievement of the multimedia learning class student is better than the conventional class student.
