This study aims to find out information related to the needs of interactive multimedia with a contextual approach as a science learning media. This research is a research and development that refers to the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). Data collection techniques used were questionnaires, observations, and interviews and relevant literature studies. The population in this study is SMP Negeri 1 Jember. The samples in this study were 80 students of class VII and teachers of natural science subjects. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results of this study were obtained that the learning media used are still limited to textbooks and worksheets and there is no use of interactive multimedia so it is necessary to do interactive multimedia development on natural science materials especially environmental pollution materials that are appropriate to the needs of students in order to achieve learning objectives. Based on this it can be concluded that interactive multimedia with a contextual approach is needed to be developed in natural science subjects.

Penelitian ini menguji pengaruh penggunaan mind map terhadap pemahaman konsep stoikiometri mahasiswa pada mata kuliah kimia dasar. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimen semu dengan menggunakan rancangan nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design. Subjek penelitian terdiri atas 80 mahasiswa. Instrumen penelitian berupa instrumen tes untuk mengukur kemampuan pemahaman konsep stoikiometri mahasiswa pada mata kuliah kimia dasar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan nilai rata-rata pemahaman konsep stoikiometri mahasiswa yang belajar menggunakan mind map sebesar 85,50 lebih besar daripada nilai rata-rata pemahaman konsep stoikiometri mahasiswa yang belajar menggunakan ceramah dengan nilai 80,35. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman konsep stoikiometri mahasiswa yang belajar menggunakan media mind map lebih tinggi dibandingkan mahasiswa yang belajar dengan ceramah. Hasil penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa pembelajaran dengan menggunakan mind map lebih efektif dibandingkan metode ceramah terhadap kemampuan pemahaman konsep stoikiometri mahasiswa

This research aims to study significant differences between learning by using interactive multimedia based on Aurora 3D Presentation with conventional methods on student learning outcomes in Environmental pollution material. This type of research is a quantitative study using a research design consisting of a post-test control group. The sample in this study was grade VII students of SMP Negeri 1 Jember. There are two groups namely the experimental group taken from class VII C and the control group taken from class VII A which is determined by a purposive sampling technique. The instrument  to collect data using a post-test. Analysis of the data used is a t-test consisting of independent sample t-tests. Based on the t-test on student learning outcomes through the post-test, the t-count value was 2.015 and the t-table value was 1.669. Because t-count is greater than t-table, The use of Aurora 3D Presentation in learning is effective for the subject environmental pollution at the Seventh Grade of junior high school students.

The aims of this research were to describe the validity and to describe the university students respons’ on appropriate technology integrated virtual laboratory based learning module on Acidic and Basic Solution Topic in Tadris IPA, Tarbiyah and Teacher Training Faculty, UIN KHAS Jember. Research method was R&D research by using ADDIE model which consisted of  4 steps: (1) Analyzing curricula and students’ university characteristic, (2) Designing content and lay out of learning module, (3) Developing appropriate technology integrated virtual laboratory based learning module, (4) Validating learning module by expert judging then implementating it to students’ university. The Evaluation steps was not already done by researcher because of time and fee limitation. Result of research showed that learning module got score 3.79 based on material eligibility, 3.88 based on design eigibility and  3,85 based on languange eligibility (for scale 1-4 ). Furthermore, the result of students’ university respon on learning module were 77.8% based on material eligibility, 86.7% based on design egibility, dan 91.1% based on languange eligibility.Keywords: virtual laboratory, appropriate technology, general chemistryABSTRAK Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mendeskripsikan validitas dan mendeskripsikan hasil uji respon mahasiswa terhadap modul pembelajaran berbasis virtual laboratory terintegrasi Teknologi Tepat Guna pada materi Larutan Asam Basa pada program studi Tadris IPA, Tarbiyah and Teacher Training Faculty, UIN KHAS Jember. Penelitian ini menggunakan model penelitian dan pengembangan yang dimodifikasi dari model ADDIE yang terdiri dari 4 tahapan, yaitu: (1) Analisis Kurikulum dan Karakteristik Mahasiswa, (2) Perencanaan Konten dan Tata Letak Tampilan Modul, (3) Pembuatan Modul Teknologi Tepat Guna yang diintegrasikan dengan Laboratorium Maya (virtual laboratory) based learning module, (4) Validasi/ Uji Ahli Modul Pembelajaran yang dilanjutkan dengan Uji Coba pada Mahasiswa. Tahap kelima, Evaluasi, tidak dilakukan karena keterbatasan waktu dan biaya penelitian. Hasil validasi menunjukkan bahwa Modul Kimia Dasar berbasis Teknologi Tepat Guna terintegrasi Virtual Laboratory memperoleh skor 3.79 berdasarkan komponen kelayakan materi, 3.88 berdasarkan kelayakan desain modul dan 3.85 berdasarkan kelayakan komponen kebahasaan (skala 1-4 ). Selanjutnya, hasil uji respon menunjukkan bahwa modul memperoleh prosentase 77.8% untuk komponen kelayakan materi, 86.7% untuk komponen kelayakan desain modul, dan 91.1% untuk aspek kebahasaan.Kata kunci: virtual laboratory, teknologi tepat guna, kimia dasar
