Improving Student’s Learning Outcomes on Natural Science Material Through Multimedia Learning Approach in Elementary School

Abstract

This research paper aims to describe the improvement of students' learning outcomes on the subject of natural science through the approach of multimedia learning in elementary school. The research method used is Classroom Action Research Design. Data were collected through multiple choice test to find out the students' learning outcomes from each cycle, result of observation activities of teacher and student, and the result of a questionnaire of student response. The results of research obtained data that student learning outcomes in cycle 1 of 72% and increased by 24% to 96% in cycle II. Teacher activities in cycle I was 81% while in cycle II was 94%, thus the increase of teacher activity by 13%. Student activities in cycle 1 are 80% and in cycle II is 91%. Increased student activities by 11%. Student response to learning is very happy, where the expressed pleasure to statement component learning activities that researchers apply in the learning of 97.2%. Thus it can be concluded that through the use of multimedia learning approaches on the subject of Natural Sciences can improving students learning outcomes, teacher activities and students as well as ongoing enjoyable learning as planned and get high responses from students.
