Abstract

The main problems in basic electronics learning currently are the lack of media used in learning, students^ lack of interest in following the learning process and the media currently used is still conventional media, namely, whiteboards and conventional power points. In terms of understanding the learning material, data obtained from interviews shows that there are still many students who do not understand the learning material in basic electronics courses. Based on the data obtained, the author concludes that basic electronics learning really needs to be changed and developed. One of the things that can be done in this learning is to develop learning media that can increase student motivation and interaction in learning so that it can increase students^ understanding of the material presented in lectures. One alternative media that can be developed in basic electronics courses is interactive multimedia-based learning media which can contain all types of teaching media and also allows direct student interaction in it. The development of interactive multimedia-based learning media refers to the Borg and Gall development model which has been simplified into five steps by the Puslitjaknov Team in 2008. The stages in this research begin with analyzing the product being developed, developing the initial product, expert validation and revision, testing. small-scale field work and product revision and the final stage, namely large-scale trials and final product. Research data comes from validation data from experts and data from small-scale and large-scale trials to see the feasibility and ease of use of the research product being developed. It is hoped that this research will produce an alternative interactive multimedia-based learning media that is feasible and easy to use in learning basic electronics courses.
