Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Research & Method in Education (IOSRJRME) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
The social science learning implementation tends to use traditional or conventional approach still. It does not utilize teaching materials based on Macromedia Flash. The goal of social science learning is only focused on cognitive aspect and ignores social skills. It has not given maximum opportunity to students to develop their creativity so that the students are not maximally interesting in learning. Consequently, students feel bored in social science learning which results in low quality of school outcomes and low quality of education. The purpose of the research is to produce a valid, practical, and effective social science teaching materials based on Macromedia flash for elementary school students. This research was a research and development with some procedures. They were initial information collection, designing, development, dissemination, and implementation. The validity, practicality, and effectiveness of social science-based instructional materials products based on Macromedia flash and its devices were assessed. The subjects of field trials were teachers and the sixth-grade students of the elementary school in Parepare city. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. In general, the results of the study indicate that social science teaching materials the based on Macromedia flash and its device are valid, practical and effective. Specifically, there are some results of this research. First, needs of the social science material development based on Macromedia flash have passed six social science subjects? The subjects are earthquake disaster, tsunami disaster, flood, mountain natural disasters eruption, natural forest fire, and landslide disaster. The results of the validation of social science teaching materials based on Macromedia Flash and its devices are "very valid," and they are in accordance with the characteristics and needs of elementary school students. The response of teachers and students toward the social science teaching materials based on Macromedia flash is in the very good category. Moreover, the results of field testing to the target students showed that students' interest in learning by using social science teaching materials is in the very high category.
