Abstract
One of the problems behind this research is the learning difficulties experienced by students on the structure of the repetition algorithm algorithm. Context problems (problems) that are not familiar or foreign to someone often make it difficult for them when trying to find the answer. Lack of mastery of basic concepts or lack of experience working on problems related to pseudecode, also influence the emergence of difficulties when working on the problem at hand. The emergence of difficulties in learning basic programming can also be caused by factors students who are less motivated in learning. Therefore, this study aims to develop a learning method using the Didactical Design Research (DDR) approach with multimedia assistance to help identify students difficulties and help find solutions. There are two stages in this study, namely the first one is to identify learning obstacles, and then is to build and implement interactive multimedia based on DDR to students. Based on the results of research and discussion it can be concluded that: 1) The form of interactive multimedia based on a didactic design containing the learning structure of the repetition algorithm “for”, “while do”, “do while” which is packaged in the form of interactive multimedia and contains questions and also stimulus that can guide students in understanding the structure of the repetition algorithm; 2) Almost all students show a positive attitude towards learning media by using interactive multimedia based on didactic designs. In the future, DDR will be developed for improving students- critical thinking.
