CHAPTER 1

1.1 Introduction

A country's future is bright, the quality of a good education system. If the quality of a

country's education system is impaired, it will cause adverse effects on a country's

development. Ministries of education, but the education minister of national education effort

to ensure we remain relevant and internationally accepted. Teachers are an important icon

in the classroom to ensure that students are able to improve their performance.

Implementation of changes must be made immediately either in management, teaching and

learning. Approaches, methods, and techniques used in these lessons can be translated

through change hinges on the acceptance of students.

In the present age of multimedia and ICT intertwined. The explosion of information and

communication technologies (ICT) are in line with the development of education in today's

world. The use of technology in teaching, learning Bahasa Melayu example would be more

interesting, meaningful and productive with the use of multimedia. According to

(Mohammod, 2008), can deliver a multimedia information quickly, accurately and to attract

students to create a fun learning environment. With the advent of multimedia, positive

impact on pupils who have difficulties in reading and writing process will be more

prominent. In addition, the use of multimedia techniques involving voice, sound, pictures,

video and text to create an environment rich in language. Accordingly it, use this medium

more flexible and free for students to get knowledge. Meanwhile, according to (doyle,

2007), computer helps pupils to improve proficiency through the use of systematic

techniques.

According to a collection of data stored by the Malaysian Ministry of Education, there are

no control students 3Rs of reading, counting and writing. However, the ministry believes the

rehabilitation undertaken to help students who suffer from these problems. The ministry has

set up a program called LINUS (literacy and numeracy) where the program in action to

overcome the problematic students since the beginning. In this program, students not only

improve their proficiency, but also teachers claimed to have creativity in the face of these

students. These days the uses of multimedia and information technology affect the

education system. The use of multimedia materials in teaching and learning is good effort.

Each teacher must be creative and innovative capacity in applying these aids. Most of the

teachers are still using the traditional approach is less appropriate in the circumstances of

pupils now. Traditional pedagogical approach more focused on teaching and learning to the

learning of directions. In contrast, the present approach and multimedia technologies are

more focused on two-way learning, where teachers and students will be more open and

stimulate the minds of students. For example, math teachers use interactive multimedia to

use more visual interest to the students and create a more fresh and active. By doing this,

their minds are more open to receiving learning process, especially given the typically quick

read to feel sleepy and tired.

This clearly shows that the use of information technology and multimedia in teaching and

learning has a positive impact. There are several studies that support this statement as yet;

(Hakkinen, 2006) he has proven that the use of power point allows instructors to increase

the briefing guidelines, the pictures and the use of audio and video clips. In this way the

instructor does not have to write on a whiteboard or chalkboard to begin the lesson. This

method is time-saving and can improve the quality of teaching.

1.2 Statement of the research problem

Education systems in the world are now more focused on the advancement of

information technology and multimedia for the development of the following sectors.

Similarly, Malaysia today, many schools began to use these resources in their schools.

According to research by (Abu, 2008) found that the use of such aids in teaching children to

bring new and innovative methods and it can help stimulate a child's mind in order to think

and explore something new . The question now is, does technology and multimedia

learning system used in the school to improve student performance?

Every student wants an open and fun environment in each class they attend. Fun

environment will give them a better understanding and acceptance positively to students.

Several studies have been done to prove this statement. Among the studies conducted by

(Jamian, 2012) he has conducted research and surveys to school to prove the validity of

the study. Results from studies conducted very positive. Some questions have been raised

as to obtain good results, such as “software is able to motivate me to learn” and " software

encouraged me to use their own knowledge." The extent to which the use of multimedia is

used in rural school environments that is similar to a smart school or that urban school?

However, these questions will answer and examined its validity in this study.

1.3 Research objective

The research objectives for this study are:

i) To identify the use of multimedia in improving performance among students.

ii) To examine the use of multimedia in creating a learning active environment

among students in rural school.

iii) To identify multimedia as an effective teaching aid in teaching and learning

process among student.

1.4 Research Question

The research questions for this study are:

i) What are students’ perception regarding the use of multimedia can improve their

performances?

ii) What are the uses of multimedia to create an active environment among student

in rural school?

iii) What is the effectiveness using multimedia in learning and teaching process

among students?

1.5 Research hypothesis

The research hypothesis for this study is:

H1: The students can achieve and enhance their performance through multimedia

teaching aid in school.

H2: with using multimedia, students also can adapt and create active environment for

their class.

1.6 Operational Definitions

Multimedia according to (Marshall, 1999) defined “Multimedia is the field concerned with the

appearance and form. (dictionary, 2014) in education system also need a change from decades

to decades for achieve their national philosophy of education.

There are some limitations to this study; the subjects may not give a full cooperation during

the research. The materials to perform might be inadequate.

1.8 Significance of the study

There is significant of student’s effectiveness in using multimedia in teaching process
