PRELIMINARY
Education takes an important part in shaping the personality and abilities of a nation. Education is
a conscious and planned effort to create a learning atmosphere and learning process so that students
actively develop their potential to develop spiritual strength, self-control, personality, and skills
(Fajariyah et al., 2016).
The education system in Indonesia follows the National Education System which will bring
progress and development to the nation. Currently the world continues to develop, so the education
system needs to adjust the times that continue to develop. For this reason, the education system is
required to use and be able to process educational resources efficiently and effectively (Munirah, 2015).
Currently efforts to improve the quality of education face obstacles, where the current final
evaluation of national learning is no longer determined by the National Examination but is fully
determined by the school. Data obtained from UNESCO states that the quality of educators is an
important component in education (Arifa & Prayitno, 2019).
The main task of educators is to condition the environment to support changes in student behavior.
Chemistry learning emphasizes on providing hands-on learning experiences through the development
of process skills and scientific attitudes. Chemistry learning can be implemented if the teacher-teacher
interaction. The use of learning media can help the limitations of educators in delivering lessons in class.

ABSTRACT
During learning students face difficulties in understanding abstract chemistry topics. Currently there
is no appropriate media to be applied in the learning process in order to increase students' abilities.
Therefore, a study was conducted using macromedia flash based on computer animation to improve
learning outcomes in Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) 2 Medan Model schools in the Haloalkana sub-
discussion. This study aims to determine the effect of macromedia flash based on computer animation
media on student learning outcomes in the haloalkane sub-discussion and to determine the
correlation between the responses given by students to macromedia flash based on computer
animation media in the haloalkane sub-discussion. The population of these two samples was taken
using random sampling technique, namely class XII IPA 9 as the experimental class and class XII
IPA 10 as the control class. The type of this research is quasi-experimental using the pretest and
posttest models. Data collection was carried out using multiple choice instruments and response
questionnaires. Based on the results of the study, it was found that there was an increase in student
learning outcomes between the experimental class and the control class after the implementation of
computer animation-based macromedia flash in the Haloalkana sub-discussion at MAN 2 Model
Medan and there was a relationship between the responses given by students to computer animation-
based macromedia flash media in improvement of learning outcomes.
