Biology E-Magazine Development in Human Respiratory System Topic for Grade VIII of Junior High School

Abstract

This research aims to: (1) produce multimedia learning (E-Biomagz) material for the human respiratory system for eighth grade students of Dompu 6 Middle School, Indonesia, (2) reveal product feasibility, (3) reveal the effectiveness of products developed. This development research refers to the steps of the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) development model. Product testing consists of alpha tests and beta tests to determine the level of product feasibility and product effectiveness. Alpha test results was categorized very well given an average score of 3.74 by media experts and 3.53 by material experts. Beta testing results was categorized as very feasible with an average score of 3.37. Thus, the effectiveness test yielded a mean score of 37.07 for (pre-test) and 83.65 for the final analysis (post-test) so that the N-gain score obtained was 0.740 with the "High" criteria. This multimedia also proved feasible and effective in the learning process of the eighth-grade students of Dompu 6 Middle School.
