Abstract
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of learning assisted by Macromedia flash media in fourthgrade elementary school students and to determine the relationship between the use of Macromedia flash media and the retention of fourth-grade elementary school students. This research is a quantitative study and was conducted using a quasi-experimental method. The population in this study was 120 students. The sample of this study was 25 students using simple random sampling. Data were collected by using multiple-choice test techniques and conducted 3 (three) times, namely pretest, posttest, and retention test. The results showed that there was an effect of using Macromedia flashbased learning media on student learning outcomes and there was a correlation between the use of Macromedia flash-based learning media on class student retention. The relationship obtained is a negative relationship, which means that the higher the gain value (use of learning media), the lower the student's retention.
