The Interactive Multimedia Development of Beginning Reading for Students with Hearing Impairment

Abstract

The children with hearing impairments have the difficulty of receiving information from outside, so the students need an ineractive media for beginning reading to facilitate their understanding and tailore to their needs. This research and development used Lee & Owens (2004) method consists of assessment/analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The validation score was 94% from media experts, 80% from material expert, and 80% from practitioners’ scores. While the field trial results were obtained 100% that reach the Minimum Completeness Criteria (Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimum/KKM) with highly effective qualification. Based on these data, it has been shown that interactive multimedia was quite valid and very effective to be used in learning. Suggestions for further researchers are expected to develop the learning media on subsequent material competence. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17977/um029v5i12018p031
