Effect of Needham Model Based Interactive Multimedia Material Towards Students’ Achivement in Digital Logic Gates

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of using interactive multimedia material towards students’ performance in logic gates of Electrical and Electronic subjects. The content delivery method in this interactive multimedia material was employed a constructivist theory approach, which is Needham Model. Meanwhile, ADDIE model was used as guideline during the material development process. Quasi-experimental that involved of four teachers and 56 students was employed as research design for this study. Questionnaire, pretest and posttest were used as research instrument. The data were analyzed using mean score, standard deviation, paired-sample t-test, and ANCOVA. Findings showed that the perception of the users towards the aspects of content, teaching strategy design, presentation design and technical of this interactive multimedia material were at the high level. Evaluation on the effectiveness of the interactive multimedia material from the aspect of students’ performance showed that there was an improvement in academic performance. As a conclusion, teachers were encouraged to use interactive multimedia material based on Needham Model to enhance student performance in digital logic gates as well as other topics in Electronic Engineering.
