Development of Mathematical Learning Media Based on Macromedia Flash on Flat Sided Space Material

Abstract

Learning media is a tool that can be used by a teacher or student in delivering subject matter. Macromedia Flash is a learning media that can be used to convey information in an exciting way on mathematics subjects in the form of flat side spaces. In this study, Macromedia Flash is the application of Macromedia Flash Professional 8. The advantage of this application lies in various animations that are made more flexible and make it simpler for the user to get it the material displayed. In expansion, it presents a text or paragraph of material and can be shown in animated pictures, quizzes or games. This research was conducted utilizing the Research and Development (R & D) strategy utilizing the altered Borg & Gall advancement strategy, which was in ten stages, limited to the 7th stage. The subjects of this consider understudies of lesson VIII Junior High school at SMP Negeri 2 Randuagung, Lumajang, totaling 30 students. Information collection methods employ an approval survey sheet. The instrument utilized was an approval survey sheet to decide the possibility of the module and student response questionnaires to determine its attractiveness. Data analysis techniques used in research and development are quantitative descriptive to process data in the form of scores from the assessment by validators and student responses, while qualitative descriptive to describe data in the form of comments and suggestions for improvement from validators. The final result of this research is in the form of interactive mathematics learning media products that aim to (1) motivate students to understand the material of flat-sided shapes, (2) make learning media that can be used by students or teachers easily and flexibly. Based on the comes about of master validation, the Macromedia flash-based mathematics learning media in this study showed very validity with a percentage of 96.35%, while the effects of student questionnaires in this study showed very valid with a percentage of 87%. This shows that the Product can be used as a learning media.
