I. INTRODUCTION

The issue of education in Vocational High School (SMK)is always interesting to develop and discuss at every age. Italso about the task of professional teachers which associatedwith the ability of teachers to innovate in teaching andlearning. The principle of vocational education is expected toadjust effective education if the students are trained accordingto the work environment. The school will be effective if thestudents are trained directly on a regular basis. The educationis effective if done in the form of exercise experience workinghabits and thinking to improve job performance. Education isefficient and effective if the media consider the characteristicsof student learning [1].

Utilization of technological progress in the learningprocess has grown along with the development of informationtechnology. Data empirically in using multiple media learninghas shown the effects of the use of multimedia learningMacromedia Authorware, powerful and significant impact onstudent learning outcomes in subjects of KKPI productive; andimplementation of E-learning based on Moodle, showing theresults learning of students at the high category. A multimediainstructional message is a communication consist of wordsand pictures intended to foster learning [2]. Thecommunication can be delivered using any medium, includingpaper or computers. The words can produce in printed such aswriting on the whiteboard or printed on the paper. The picturescan provide as static graphics and dynamic graphics (as

animation or video clips). Thus, in the use of instructionalmedia is still much less precise. The interaction betweenlearners has gained much interest in the field of researchespecially in applying an interactive media. There are fourfeatures of self-explaining environments [3]. It might affecthow well learners understand a scientific explanation. Thegoal of their work was to determine whether a set ofmultimedia design principles, based on research in non-interactive multimedia environments.

Activities in learning interaction which used a variety oflearning media and have a good quality will improve teachers'self-confidence in teaching. This will provide a stimulant inincreasing students' participation in active learning. Also, withthe use of the media then the interaction of teacher and studentlearning will impact on the achievement of learning objectiveseffectively as well. To ensure the multimedia learningapplications and can be used to enhance learning realize, theirpotential is necessary to stand back and re-examine the keyfeatures of multimedia. The fuller consideration of thelearning process itself and by exploring the benefits thatinteractive multimedia can be achieved [4]. So the problem isthat if teachers can innovate, implement strategies, methodsand media learning in school? Whether teachers able to applyMedia interactive CBT, in learning KKPI? Moreover, anactive teaching using interactive media CBT?

II. RESEARCH METHOD

This study is the Classroom Action Research thatcombines several disciplinary measures of inquiry, tounderstand what happened, while engaged in the process ofimprovement and change [5]. Classroom action researchdesign consists of four stages, namely planning, action,observation, and reflection. The study was conducted in theClass X SMK. The subject of research is the students amount62 students. Techniques and data collection instruments used,documentation, observation instruments student activity and awritten test. Expert judgment is using to validate theinstruments. Descriptive and qualitative related to studentlearning activities, whereas quantitative descriptive data isused to analyze student learning outcomes. ProceduresClassroom Action Research, conducted in two cyclesmodified, follow the stages of planning, action, observation,and reflection.

III. DISCUSSION

Indicators of success in this study is an indicator of theprocess and outcome indicators of student learning usinginteractive media CBT. Indicators of the success of theprocess are marked by the involvement of students in thelearning process are in the excellent category. The indicatorsof the success of student learning characterized by 85% ofstudents who received a score of at least correspond withminimum completeness criteria (KKM) in the results forstudents at SMK.

The effectiveness of the use of interactive media CBT inthe second cycle is defined as the successes achieved by theuse of instructional media. Class success judging by thenumber of students who were able to complete a minimum of75% of the total number of in the class, which meets KKM(Criterion Complete Minimal) KKPI learning, namely 75(competence / complete). The result of the research describedin Figure 1 based on 5 (five) category.

Figure 2. Student achievement in the learning cycle

According to Figure 1, in the preliminary test shown theamount of the student domination who have a very lowcategory. most of the students in the preliminary test have verylow in mastery learning amount 61.29% and only 3.23% havea high category. In cycle I the student who has high category

is more than other category but only about 30% and the veryhigh category about 20%. It means that the KKM hasunreachable. Then, in cycle II, the amount of high and veryhigh category was about 80%, and the low and very lowcategory amount less than 10%. The success of CBT teachersuse interactive media in the cycle II marked with the responseactivity of students in the learning process are in the very goodcategory. CBT interactive media used to distribute messagesmotivate, stimulate the mind, feelings, concerns and thewillingness of students to learn has been proven. The effect ofthe media interactive was not only about the test achievement,but also the student activities while the learning process.

Application of ICT in education is an innovation thatcontributes significantly to the change in the learning process.A teacher is effective if can accomplish the planned goals andassigned tasks by school goals. The teacher is one of thecritical elements in every school, and effective teaching is oneof the main propellers for school improvement, [7]. The use ofAurora 3D Presentation provides a new learning environmentfor students. This can be seen from the students' motivation inlearning and mastery on the subject matter. Learning usingAurora 3D Presentation has proven a proper role in applyingthe principles of mastery learning and individual learningaccording to curriculum demands. The results of this studyindicate an increase in student learning outcomes that useAurora 3D Presentation on the competence to explain theconcept of motor fuel [8].

The multimedia presentation has amount advantages ineducation. It can help learners to become more understandingin conceptualization and contextualization of the new materialthat presented; involve an active learner in the learningprocess; and promoting internal reflection. Furthermore,dialogue teachers and learners and between learners can besupported through combining interactive multimedia withcommunications technology [4]. The use of media is veryinfluential on student learning outcomes. The development ofinformation communication technology gives impact on thedevelopment of learning strategies, learning methods, throughinstructional media. Utilization of technological progress inthe learning process is done through the application of varioustechnology applications in the development of learning media[9].

According to Figure 2, the interest, the liveliness, and theresponse have continuously achieved, while the presence wasfull while the learning cycle I have processed. Competency-based learning which conducted in SMK using behavioristic,cognitivist, and constructivist approach. It represents thecharacteristics of learners to optimize the sensory sensitivityof learners by the use of learning motivation, media, andmethods [1]. Refers to several theories that serve as areference on innovation and professionalism of teachers isexpected to be a manifestation of Learning Media mentoringand guidance in CBT learning device products. Thecombination of explicit training and support, involvementlearn, and working closely with teachers, enabled to becomeknowledgeable recommend for new practices and to supporttheir peers actively. Teachers standards innovate. In general,the teachers who innovate, strategy and learning media are aprofessional teacher. To the design of multimedia learningapplications should be the user-centered approach. It isdesigned from an interactive systems design perspective andeducational perspective. This approach based on generalhuman-computer interaction principles and consider tolearning aspect.

The benefits of learning media are to facilitate theinteraction of teachers and students, with the intention ofhelping students learn optimally. Therefore, a professionalteacher in innovation is particularly useful on the utilization ofinstructional media. This statement supported the result of thisresearch that applying 3D media interactive in learningprocess helping students to gain the learning achievement incompetency-based training [10]. The learning output of 64% isinfluenced by the quality of learning that has been going onfor [11]. Thus to improve the output of learning must bepreceded by, improving the quality of learning that has beengoing on before. To improve quality, learning must bepreceded by improvements to instructional input.

Approaches to assessment are essential to ensure that themodel of teaching with technology to see the full potential ofstudents [12].These approaches are to ensure that models ofteaching and learning with using technology achieve their fullpotential. As shown at the result, the interest of students inapplying media interactive in CBT has grown continuously.The 3D presentation media provide a collaborative learning tosupport the learning process. The collaborative learning is anactive learning which involved student knowledge throughdiscovery, discussion, and expert guidance [13]. The responseof the student is also grown continuously while applyingmedia interactive-CBT. The response showed the learninginteraction has developed while learning. Interaction is arelevant practice that supports learners in facing difficulties[14]. Therefore, in assimilating reasonably tricky concepts, theinteraction ostensibly participates their audience. Onlinelearners are ensuring their learning and acquisition ofknowledge to complement their presented.

IV. CONCLUSION

CBT developed as an interactive media is the result oflearning media innovations. It designed for the mentoringprocess in using Aurora 3D Presentation software, which is atool to create a 3D slide presentation. Slide presentation

impressive, with a 3D display, easy to use teacher for thelearning process in other materials. The teachers as sources ofinformation carriers for students should be aware of theimportance of innovation in developing learning media.Because teachers in teaching are imparting knowledge(cognitive), attitudes (affective) and skills (psychomotor) onstudents, to master and develop science and technology.
