Abstract

The introduction of Biotechnology subject started in SMP (9) and deepen in SMA (12). One of the subjects discusses modern biotechnology product through Genetic Engineer technique to produce lipase enzyme. Students of SMA knowledge on this subject are still limited since the source of information used by the teacher in explaining the subject is generally based on the textbook and delivered through lecturing method. The use of learning media with virtual-technology based is expected to provide an illustration of information which can make it easier and more attractive to understand. In this study, two medium is created, including text and video animation for introducing the students about enzyme lipase production through recombinant technique. To test the superiority of video animation media, the test is done to SMA students in Lombok through the same questions given to test students understanding of the subject, yet video animation and text are offered to give explanation. The evaluation shows that video animation could improve the average outcomes, be more informative and interesting, also be easier to understand that information through text which is shown in advisability test by Biology teachers and students responses. Thus, video animation media can be used as Biotechnology learning media.
