A Learning Multimedia of Geometry Using Mayer Principles and J. Bruner Learning Approach
Abstract
The aim of this study is to produce learning multimedia products of geometry material for the fifth grade students of elementary school students using Mayer principles and J. Bruner learning approach. It also describes the effectiveness level of using multimedia learning as well as improving students’ mastery in achieving cognitive goals of mathematics learning material especially the geometry after using the multimedia.
This study applies the development research (R & D) method by adapting the Alessi & Trollip model. The stages in this study consist of planning, designing and developing stages. The results showed that the multimedia products produce were feasible as a mathematics learning media for geometry materials based on the validation by material and media experts on the alpha test with very good assessment, as well as the assessment conducted by 16 students in the beta test showed very good results. Multimedia products of mathematics learning on geometry material effectively improve the learning outcomes with a mean of 45,83 pretest, while the posttest score is 83,75. So it has a gain value of 0.7 with a value that has a ”high” criterion.
Keywords: multimedia, mathematics learning, geometry, Mayer Principle, J. Bruner learning approach
