Development of Interactive Multimedia Based on Articulate Storyline for Force Material to Improve Learning Outcomes

Abstract

This study aims to describe the development, feasibility, and effectiveness of interactive multimedia based on Articulate Storyline to improve fourth-grade students' learning outcomes at SDN Purwoyoso 01, Semarang. The research follows the Research & Development (R&D) method using the Borg and Gall model. Data collection techniques include tests (pre-test and post-test) and non-test methods (observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation). Data analysis involves normality tests, t-tests, and N-Gain tests. The developed multimedia consists of a main page, guidelines, learning materials, instructional videos, a virtual laboratory (PhET Simulation), interactive quizzes (Quizizz), and student worksheets (Live Worksheets). Feasibility assessments showed high validity from material experts (93.75%), media experts (93.33%), teacher responses (100%), and student responses (98.80%), categorizing it as highly feasible. The effectiveness was demonstrated by a 26.40% increase in pre-test and post-test scores, a paired sample t-test significance value < 0.001, indicating a significant difference, and an N-Gain score of 0.728 (high category). In conclusion, the interactive multimedia was successfully developed, deemed feasible, and proven effective in enhancing fourth-grade IPAS students' learning outcomes on force material at SDN Purwoyoso 01, Semarang.
