3. CHAPTER 1
1.1 Introduction
A country's future is bright, the quality of a good education system. If the quality of a
country's education system is impaired, it will cause adverse effects on a country's
development. Ministries of education, but the education minister of national education effort
to ensure we remain relevant and internationally accepted. Teachers are an important icon
in the classroom to ensure that students are able to improve their performance.
Implementation of changes must be made immediately either in management, teaching and
learning. Approaches, methods, and techniques used in these lessons can be translated
through change hinges on the acceptance of students.
In the present age of multimedia and ICT intertwined. The explosion of information and
communication technologies (ICT) are in line with the development of education in today's
world. The use of technology in teaching, learning Bahasa Melayu example would be more
interesting, meaningful and productive with the use of multimedia. According to
(Mohammod, 2008), can deliver a multimedia information quickly, accurately and to attract
students to create a fun learning environment. With the advent of multimedia, positive
impact on pupils who have difficulties in reading and writing process will be more
prominent. In addition, the use of multimedia techniques involving voice, sound, pictures,
video and text to create an environment rich in language. Accordingly it, use this medium
more flexible and free for students to get knowledge. Meanwhile, according to (doyle,

4. 2007), computer helps pupils to improve proficiency through the use of systematic
techniques.
According to a collection of data stored by the Malaysian Ministry of Education, there are
no control students 3Rs of reading, counting and writing. However, the ministry believes the
rehabilitation undertaken to help students who suffer from these problems. The ministry has
set up a program called LINUS (literacy and numeracy) where the program in action to
overcome the problematic students since the beginning. In this program, students not only
improve their proficiency, but also teachers claimed to have creativity in the face of these
students. These days the uses of multimedia and information technology affect the
education system. The use of multimedia materials in teaching and learning is good effort.
Each teacher must be creative and innovative capacity in applying these aids. Most of the
teachers are still using the traditional approach is less appropriate in the circumstances of
pupils now. Traditional pedagogical approach more focused on teaching and learning to the
learning of directions. In contrast, the present approach and multimedia technologies are
more focused on two-way learning, where teachers and students will be more open and
stimulate the minds of students. For example, math teachers use interactive multimedia to
use more visual interest to the students and create a more fresh and active. By doing this,
their minds are more open to receiving learning process, especially given the typically quick
read to feel sleepy and tired.
This clearly shows that the use of information technology and multimedia in teaching and
learning has a positive impact. There are several studies that support this statement as yet;
(Hakkinen, 2006) he has proven that the use of power point allows instructors to increase
the briefing guidelines, the pictures and the use of audio and video clips. In this way the
instructor does not have to write on a whiteboard or chalkboard to begin the lesson. This
method is time-saving and can improve the quality of teaching.

5. 1.2 Statement of the research problem
Education systems in the world are now more focused on the advancement of
information technology and multimedia for the development of the following sectors.
Similarly, Malaysia today, many schools began to use these resources in their schools.
According to research by (Abu, 2008) found that the use of such aids in teaching children to
bring new and innovative methods and it can help stimulate a child's mind in order to think
and explore something new . The question now is, does technology and multimedia
learning system used in the school to improve student performance?
Every student wants an open and fun environment in each class they attend. Fun
environment will give them a better understanding and acceptance positively to students.
Several studies have been done to prove this statement. Among the studies conducted by
(Jamian, 2012) he has conducted research and surveys to school to prove the validity of
the study. Results from studies conducted very positive. Some questions have been raised
as to obtain good results, such as “software is able to motivate me to learn” and " software
encouraged me to use their own knowledge." The extent to which the use of multimedia is
used in rural school environments that is similar to a smart school or that urban school?
However, these questions will answer and examined its validity in this study.

6. 1.3 Research objective
The research objectives for this study are:
i) To identify the use of multimedia in improving performance among students.
ii) To examine the use of multimedia in creating a learning active environment
among students in rural school.
iii) To identify multimedia as an effective teaching aid in teaching and learning
process among student.
1.4 Research Question
The research questions for this study are:
i) What are students’ perception regarding the use of multimedia can improve their
performances?
ii) What are the uses of multimedia to create an active environment among student
in rural school?
iii) What is the effectiveness using multimedia in learning and teaching process
among students?
1.5 Research hypothesis
The research hypothesis for this study is:
H1: The students can achieve and enhance their performance through multimedia
teaching aid in school.

7. H2: with using multimedia, students also can adapt and create active environment for
their class.
1.6 Operational Definitions
Multimedia according to (Marshall, 1999) defined “Multimedia is the field concerned with the
computer-controlled integration of text, graphics, drawings, still and moving images (Video),

to decades for achieve their national philosophy of education.
1.7 Limitations of the Study
There are some limitations to this study; the subjects may not give a full cooperation during
the research. The materials to perform might be inadequate.
1.8 Significance of the study
There is significant of student’s effectiveness in using multimedia in teaching process
compare to conventional method of teaching. Besides that, students can explore new

8. method of study that can change their education process. Nowadays, multimedia and ICT
is very important to us to more competitive especially in education.
