Learning Media for Biology Subject Based on Multimedia in Junior High School Level

Abstract

Information is a necessity in this era, so it encourages the advancement of information technology flourish and rapidly, in addition it provides some varieties of ways to catch the users obtaining information and technology. One of the conveniences of that fashion is that students at junior high school can easily access dealing with Biology learning material. Information and technology in the form of multimedia-based software packaged as a media of learning some particulars subjects, in this case they apply to Biology learning. Instructional media provide an overview and understanding to the junior high school students in studying Biology visually, dynamic and interactive. Learning in a visual medium provides visualization interest in studying biology, so students can understand the material SMP comprehensively. An interactive learning media gives the impression that the learning is carried out by two-sided directions, yet the students are invited to participate as creators in studying Biology. Multimedia-based learning media packed into software which capable in presenting the material, in this case is Biology. The material is presented visually and moves dynamically in order to motivate the students in understanding the Biology. The software in multimedia-based learning is purposed to create an autonomous learning system for students. Instructional media built in desktop and run as a single-independent application; therefore, students can run this application even though the internet connection is not available. This instructional media development using object-based method with the waterfall model. This learning media applications built with Adobe Flash Professional CS6 with action script 2.0 for achieving visualization, dynamic, and interactive multimedia-based learning method.

The use of instructional media in the excretory system: a study on the perspectives of teachers and eleventh grade students of senior high school

“…Learning media has a very important role. Learning media used by teachers can help students understand various concepts from the material being studied (Susanto, et al, 2022;Sukenda, 2019). The selection of learning media by the teacher must of course pay attention to the suitability of the type of…”

“…The visual media intended in this study include pictures, moving pictures, printed books, e-books, real objects and artificial objects. The visual media used can help students understand the concept being studied because it is able to attract students to study the concept thoroughly (Sukenda, et al, 2019). The types of visual media that are preferred by students are real objects and artificial objects.…”

“…Learning media has a very important role in learning, including helping to synchronize the subject matter to be delivered, clarifying the subject matter and making it more interesting, making the learning process more interactive, increasing the efficiency of allocating learning time, and improving the quality of learning outcomes (Tafonao, et al al., 2019). The use of teaching media for the teaching and learning process can generate new desires and interests, generate motivation and stimulate learning activities, and even bring psychological influences on students (Waris & Susilo, 2014;Nofitasari, et al, 2021;Sukenda, et al ., 2019;Aroyandini & Aloysius, 2020). The use of learning media that students like can improve student learning outcomes (Yuliansih, et al, 2021).…”

Development of biology learning media based on video blogs (vlog) on environmental change topic

“…The use of vlog media is expected to optimize the biology learning process. The presence of learning media in the learning process has been reported to be able to increase students' understanding of biological concepts (Astuti & Nurcahyo, 2019;Sukenda et al, 2019;Susilo et al, 2021). The abstract nature of biological concepts needs to be presented into more contextual content to make it easier for students to learn.…”

Learning media of digital booklets for class VIII junior high school

“…The use of digital learning media is an obligation for every teacher responding to the challenges of the times. This is what underlies the importance of developing digital learning media that hopes to assist teachers in delivering material content (Mulenga & Marbán, 2020), encourage student curiosity (Algiani et al, 2023;Kurniawan et al, 2019), and help understand the information/material (Sukenda et al, 2019), as well as student skills for technological progress (Falloon, 2020) amid the limitations of the learning process.…”
