The Effectiveness of Macromedia Flash Digital Media in Improving Students’ Mathematics Reasoning

Abstract

This study aims to describe the effectiveness of students' mathematical reasoning abilities through Macromedia flash digital learning media. Learning media is an educational product that can bridge students' interest in learning mathematics so that with this interest, they can increase their mathematical thinking skills at a higher level. The population of this study was students of SMPN Rokun Hulu. The research sample was one of the junior high schools in Rokan Hulu Regency, which was selected purposively according to the problems found in the field, namely SMPN 1 Ujungbatu. The research instrument is an essay test. Research data analysis using quantitative descriptive data analysis, correlational, and paired t-test. The results showed that there was a significant difference between ordinary learning used by teachers and learning using Macromedia flash digital media. These results can be seen from the results of the descriptive test and paired t-test with a significance of 0.00. These results indicate that Macromedia flash-based digital learning media effectively improves the reasoning of SMPN 1 Ujungbatu students

Behavioral Analysis of Students' Creative Thinking Ability in Learning Mathematics

“…Currently, teachers have a very important role in enriching students' creative thinking abilities in learning mathematics because this skill is essential in facing the complexity of the modern world [33], [34]. In the context of mathematics learning, teachers are not only teachers but also shapers of students' thinking patterns related to problem-solving, pattern recognition, and deep understanding of mathematical concepts [35], [36].…”

Development of interactive multimedia based mathematics learning media macromedia flash 8

“…A person can know many things or have broad insight through education with the help of technology and information. Therefore, the rapid development of tech-nology and information today can be used to improve the quality of education (David & Dedek, 2022;Yunus et al, 2022). Dahlia & Rohana (2022) stated that education is all conscious and planned efforts made by schools to their stu-dents which aims to develop their potential actively which is useful for many people, especially in socializing in society.…”
