Developing Physics Learning Multimedia to Improve Graphic and Verbal Representation of High School Students

Abstract

The purpose of this research are; (1) to develop the appropriate physics learning tool used to assist the learning process of learners, and (2) to know the ability of graphical and verbal representation of the learners. This development study refers to the 4D method, which includes: (1) defining, (2) development, (3) planning, and (4) deployment of devices. Learning tools developed include Teaching and learning plan (RPP), test of graphical and verbal representation and multimedia learning. This development product is validated by expert lecturers, physics teachers, and peer reviewer. The subject of empiric test consisted of 100 students. The limited test subjected consisted of 21 students. Field test subjects in the experimental class were as many as 32 students and the control class as many as 31 students. Data collection used interview guides, learning device assessment sheets and learning result test. Data analysis technique using MANOVA with 5% significance rate.
