Abstract

Abstract: The purposes of this research were to determine: 1) which students have better achievement in learning mathematics among Macromedia Flash and PowerPoint used as learning media 2) which students have better achievement in learning mathematics, ones with high, medium, or low learning motivation, 3) at each leaning by using media (Macromedia Flash and PowerPoint) which students have better achievement in learning mathematics, ones with high, medium, or low learning motivation, 4) at each of categories of learning motivation (high, medium, and low) which students have better achievement in learning mathematics, ones who are use Macromedia Flash or PowerPoint as learning media. The research was a quasi experimental. The population of this research was all students of grade VIII Junior High School of the Surakarta City, academic year 2011/2012.
