The Development of Interactive Multimedia Based on Mathematics to Increase the Mathematical Connection Ability in Probability Learning

Abstract

This research aimed to develop an interactive multimedia-based mathematics lesson using Adobe flash on the probability material at SMK, to know the quality of media and increase student mathematical connection. This used the research development model 4-D. The instrument in this study is the learning media validation sheet, student's response questionnaire to measure the media simplicity, and the question test to measure the media effectiveness. The results are described: 1) the validity level of mathematical interactive multimedia to improve the mathematical connection and the students' learning achievements meet the valid criteria with a result of 89.17%. 2) The practicality level of mathematical interactive multimedia to improve the mathematical connection and achievements of a student's learning meet the practice criteria with results 83.71%. 3) the effectiveness level of the mathematical interactive multimedia to improve the student's mathematical connection meets the effectiveness criteria with results of 80,28%. The developed interactive mathematics multimedia can improve students' mathematical connection skills in probability learning of 27.62% on the first indicator and 36.18% on the second indicator. So, the interactive mathematics multimedia that was developed can improve student's mathematical connection skills in probability learning at SMKN 1 Wonoasri.
