The Effectiveness of Interactive Learning Multimedia with a Contextual Approach to Student’s Understanding Mathematical Concepts

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the use of interactive learning multimedia products on the understanding of mathematical concepts, especially the angle measurement material for fourth grade elementary school students. This study used a quasi-experimental research design with a nonequivalent comparation-group design. The data collection technique used was a written test technique involving 60 students. The research data were tested using the t-test. The results showed that the use of interactive multimedia learning had a positive effect on the understanding of mathematical concepts, especially the angle measurement material for fourth grade elementary school students. The t-test results show a significance value of ˂ 0.05 so that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, which means that the use of interactive multimedia learning with a contextual approach is effective in improving students' conceptual understanding.

Evaluation of the Multimedia Coursebook Material in Listening 1 Course: Audio, Video, and Interactive Activities

“…In the current era, technology is expanding rapidly and is utilized in numerous fields, including education (Perdani, Nadelia, & Sumartono, 2022). It is in line with Etyarisky and Marsigit (2022), who have argued that it is necessary to use learning media that incorporates technology as a teaching aid. Education has made great use of technology, particularly for language teaching and learning in the classroom.…”

“…Moreover, the speaker's facial expression is also an essential factor that assists in understanding what they are saying. Etyarisky and Marsigit (2022) have discovered that understanding is one of the vital qualities for achieving educational objectives.…”

“…The interactive activity allows students to study independently without the guidance of the lecturers. Multimedia material and digital technology can motivate students to learn and increase classroom participation and connection, and lecturers must prioritize their use in the classroom (Etyarisky & Marsigit, 2022). Then, a coursebook should encourage students to use their learning styles by providing options rather than mandating a single style.…”

“…After that, multimedia materials, including video animation and instructional media, are excellent and could be used to help with teaching and learning. According to research conducted by Etyarisky and Marsigit (2022), the utilization of interactive multimedia learning have a beneficial impact on students' conceptual understanding, such that it improves their conceptual understanding. Creating learning media is necessary when the available media does not meet the requirements for achieving learning objectives (Nurhamsih & Syahrial, 2019;Rohmah, 2022).…”

Pengaruh Penggunaan Media Pembelajaran Roda Putar terhadap Minat dan Hasil Belajar Siswa Kelas V pada Mata Pelajaran Matematika di UPTD SDN Pejagan 4

“…Dengan bimbingan guru, siswa mulai mengerjakan soal tersebut di papan tulis. Ketika media roda putar diputar, siswa cenderung lebih antusias dan aktif dalam proses belajar serta lebih tertarik saat mengerjakan soal yang ada (Etyarisky & Marsigit, 2022). Selain itu, keberagaman warna pada media roda putar juga membantu menyesuaikan dengan karakteristik belajar siswa di tingkat sekolah dasar.…”
