The Development of Interactive Multimedia for First grade Beginning Readers of Elementary School: An Innovative Learning Approach

The purpose of this research is to develop interactive multimedia for beginner readers in the first grade students of elementary school. This research was a research development, using the method of experimentation. One class as a class experiment got a treatment and one class as a control group. Data source this study was taken from a limited test and application of more extensive tests. The data were collected by using the techniques of observations, interviews, and tests. The data were analyzed using t test analysis by applying IBM SPSS statistics 20 facilities. Based on the results of the calculations for the control class, the significance of the test results showed that p = .000 05. That means that H0 is accepted. Therefore, there is no difference in learning outcomes of interactive multimedia for beginner readers on the first grade students, Maros Regency. For experimental class, the significance of the test results (t test), with a value is p = 015 0, 05. It means that Ho is rejected, and H1 is accepted. These results prove that there is a difference between learning outcomes using interactive multimedia and the class that does not use interactive multimedia. Therefore, interactive multimedia effectively improves student learning outcomes.
