The Effect of “jarimatika” Multimedia Learning in Children Mathematic Learning Motivation

Abstract

The paper is an action research class conducted by non equivalent pre-test and post-test control group design. Techniques and data collection using questionnaires and achievement tests. The data analysis is using t test analysis techniques. At the implementation stage of learning it uses the Jarimatika Learning media based on the multimedia which is developed by using more advanced information technology, designed using Macromedia Flash software that combines audio, visual and text.

The development of this method will also facilitate the teachers, the parents and their children to understand the things that exist around them. The main target of learning media is to improve mathematic learning and to interest of children. Based on researches before, the chilhood mathematic interest motivation has declined day by day.The subjects of the study were early childhood in first grade, between the ages of 5-6 years with a total of 25 children. The stage of action research was conducted into two cycles started by pre-test. In the first Cycle was conducted without using any media, It was called conventional learning.
