DESIGN OF LEARNING MEDIA FOR THE SOLAR SYSTEM LESSON USING ANIMATION AND VIRTUAL REALITY
ABSTRACT
The solar system is astronomy subject which is taught in Elementary Schools, particularly in Grade 6. This subject requires the teachers to teach creatively because the lecturing method in teaching is too common. Besides, in learning this topic, media is highly needed to help the students understand and comprehend the materials given. While the media used in the current learning process is considered not sufficient because of the limited teaching aids and learning media. Therefore, based on the technology development, there are many multimedia technologies. One of them is VR that provides real-time interaction to what is displayed in the application. Hence, a design of learning media for the solar system lesson using animation and virtual reality was developed. This study aims to help the students studying this lesson to have better understanding toward the lesson because they can interact directly to what they are learning.
