Implementation of Interactive Learning Multimedia (ILM) to Improve Physics Learning Outcomes of Grade XI Science Students at MAN 2 Semarang

Abstract

Physics is often perceived as a difficult subject due to the numerous formulas that students feel they need to memorize. Teaching physics solely through lectures makes it challenging for students at MAN 2 Semarang to grasp the concepts, especially with abstract topics like optical instruments. This is evident in the low average scores on daily quizzes for this material, which are below 60%. This low achievement stems from a lack of learning media and limited student interaction during the learning process. Therefore, this Classroom Action Research implemented Interactive Learning Media for the optical instruments unit to improve student learning outcomes. Interactive Learning Media was chosen because it engages multiple senses through text, images, narration, videos, and animations. These advantages make it easier for students to understand physics concepts and increase their interest in learning. The research results show an improvement in science learning outcomes for students at MAN 2 Semarang on the topic of optical instruments, with average scores increasing from 68 in Cycle I to 76 in Cycle II.
