Improving student cognitive learning outcomes through the development of interactive multimedia-based biology learning at Muhammadiyah University, Bengkulu

This study aimed to improve student cognitive learning outcomes through the development of interactive multimedia-based biology learning at Muhammadiyah Bengkulu University. This research was conducted in April – September 2019. This research is a 4-D (four-D) model development research. The instruments used in this study were a media validation questionnaire, a media practicality questionnaire, a cognitive ability test.

From these data, it shows that there is a significant difference in the average value between the acquisition of pre-test and post-test scores both during small class trials and large class trials. Where the average score of student scores has increased after using interactive multimedia-based learning media (post-test). So that this learning media is very effective to use as learning materials to improve student cognitive learning outcomes.
