THE EFFECT OF MULTIMEDIA-BASED TEACHING MATERIALS IN SCIENCE TOWARD STUDENTS’ COGNITIVE IMPROVEMENT
ABSTRACT: This study is a
meta-analysis study that aimed to determine the effect of multimedia-based
teaching materials in science learning to students’ cognitive enhancement. This
study integrated primary study results of several studies that had been
published in national and international journals. The method used in this
research was the analysis of the results of seven international journals and
three national journals involving multimedia teaching materials based on
science learning as the main study. Searches were done through the search engine
Google, using Eric Journal and Google scholar with keyword multimedia-based
teaching materials. Analysis of data was the description of the results of the
average effect size of each study sampled then categorized based on Cohen’s
interpretation. The results showed that multimedia-based teaching materials in
science learning had a significant influence on students’ cognitive learning
outcomes indicated by the average effect size of 0.78. Differences in cognitive
enhancement were based on a group of countries, fields of study, education
level and the variety of multimedia teaching materials. It was concluded that
the multimedia-based teaching materials in science learning showed a significant
effect on students’ cognitive enhancement.
