Developing English for Mathematics as a learning media assisted with macromedia flash to facilitate students online learning

Abstract

The integration of media technology in the learning classroom is the most innovative and suitable with the online learning as an impact of the Covid-19 pandemic to overcome students' lack of vocabulary mastery related to Mathematical terms. The study aims to develop an interactive learning media that is English for Mathematics assisted with Macromedia Flash for Mathematics Education Study Program students in online learning. Through this media, students were introduced to Mathematical terms in English interactively so that students are accustomed to using them in learning. The method was Research and Development. The research implemented the ADDIE development model, i.e. Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The study involved 28 students of second semester of Mathematics Education Study Program as the subject of trial test. The media was evaluated from three criteria such as validity that has been assessed by material and media expert, practicality that was measured from students' response, and effectiveness that was obtained from the student test result. The validity score result reached to 88,33% (material expert) and 87,855% (media expert). Furthermore, the practically score result obtained 81,57 (students) and 84.64 (lecturers). From the results of tests conducted by 28 students, it was known that 22 students had completed the lesson. The percentage of classical completeness was 78, 57% which means that the developed learning media was effectively used in learning. In conclusion, the English for Mathematics learning media was feasible to promote students in online learning.
