Abstract:


Teaching and learning process which integrated with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has been the major trend in the 21st century. Teachers are required to have ICT skills to make an interactive learning. Unfortunately, in Indonesia, there are many teachers who are still confused on the use of ICT. Some of them said that they faced some difficulties when they had to make learning media by using computer. Others said that using ICT in the teaching and learning process is wasting time. They think that teaching by only using textbook is enough since textbook has already covered with materials written in the syllabus. Though, one of the principles of multimedia learning illustrated that students will have a better understanding when they are learning with words and picture rather than with words alone. Deriving from the condition above, this paper aims at finding out the benefits on the use of interactive ICT-based learning using multimedia design principles and finding out teachers’ responses toward the integration of ICT in the classroom teaching and learning. The study is conducted by administering questionnaires to 20 teachers in Indonesia. The result shows that there are benefits on the use of interactive ICT-based learning using multimedia design principles in the teaching and learning process and teachers also shows some positive responses on the integration of ICT in the classroom teaching and learning.
