Utilization of Multimedia in the Introduction of Biographies of Heroes Through History Lessons

Abstract

The teacher-centered learning process results in students becoming monotonous in accepting existing learning. This is influenced by the use of monotonous learning methods, so students feel bored and less motivated to learn. In the end, it has an impact on the difficulty of achieving the learning outcomes you want to achieve. These problems must be addressed immediately so that learning objectives can be achieved with optimal results. The use of multimedia in the introduction of hero biographical figures can be a solution to overcoming this and at least can change the stigma of history lessons, namely boring learning. Learning history in the 21st century is ideally conveyed through various innovations both in terms of media, methods, or learning models. The use of suitable media, methods, or models will greatly help the effectiveness of the learning process and the delivery of lesson content. The use of multimedia in learning history provides a new color to the phenomenon of teaching and learning activities in the classroom. In this era, the millennial generation has a brain structure that prioritizes the development of visual aspects, therefore learning must be presented in a visual form. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach. This article study focuses on the use of multimedia in the introduction of hero biographies through history lessons.
