Abstract :
On the learning about knowing part of the plant needs learning innovation
with new method and media in order to improve success in studying theory of
natural science with sub-theme knowing the plant (root, trunk, leaf and flower) for
student grade IV SDN Gelam Jaya II. This is because common method that used in
this school still using text book method which is minimal illustration so the students
are less active and get bored easily with the material described in the classroom.
According to that problem, formed an animation to introduce part of the plant
desktop based which is expected to support learning process. The research about
this animation to introduce part of the plant processed by adobe photoshop, 3ds
max, adobe premiere pro, and adobe flash professional CS6 software with
Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) method that containing six steps, that
is: concept (drafting), design (structuring), material collecting (collecting
material), assembly (making), testing (hypothesis), and distribution (distributing).
This testing about animation to introduce part of the plant containing functional
test within black box method with feasibility test by teachers as validation process
and verification about scoring criteria. The result from functional test by the expert
obtain state that all function and button that is on animation to introduce part of
the plant can run properly to its function. The result from feasibility test by teachers
obtain average percentage score 89,33% included in the ""very well"" category.
based on the results of functional test series with black box test method with
feasibility test by the teachers then interactive multimedia method about animation
to introduce part of the plant with multimedia development life cycle (MDLC)
method is proper used in the learning natural science with sub-theme knowing the
plants.
