MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS MULTIMEDIA INTERAKTIF UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PEMAHAMAN DASAR-DASAR MIKROKONTROLER

: Interactive Instructional Multi-Media to Improve Understanding the Basic Principles of Micro-controller. The study is aimed at developing interactive multimedia in order to improve students' understading of Microcontroller System Course. A preliminary survey indicates that this course was taught conventionally and that teachers rarely utilized instructional media when teaching, resulting in the students' low motivation and low achievement. This survey was used as the basis for developing interactive media in the form of CD using a flash program. The product was then validated through expert judgment and limited field testing involving 35 vocational high school students of Grade 9 of Vocational High School majoring in Industrial Electronic Engineering. The findings from questonnaire, interview, and pretest and posttest show that the developed media improved the students' understanding. The utilization of the multi­media appears to significantly contribute to the students' improved understanding.
