Development of Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) Based Teaching Materials in Junior High School

Abstract

CAI-based teaching material is a material delivery system that incorporates multiple media learning. The interactive media is designed and programmed into a computerized system. Teaching materials in science that based on CAI system has been suggested to improve student’s learning outcome. The purpose of this study is to produce a CAI-based interactive teaching material, to describe students’ response after learning the CAI teaching materials, and to assess student’s learning outcome. The CAI teaching materials were developed in 4D designs. This study was carried out in the state middle school (MTs Bustanul Ulum) Panti Jember. Subject of the study were students at the seventh grade. Data were collected in interviews, documentation, logic validation, questionnaire and test. Expert validation on instruments was at 3.77 categories. Score of student’s learning outcome showed 76.5. The conclusion is a science teaching materials based on CAI can be used in junior high school.
