ABSTRACT
This study aimed to produce a multimedia interactive learning product for senior high-school students, a CD titled Technology Arts Research Arrangement (TARA). The product included music education materials based on ‘Mensahang Lah Mirah’, a traditional song from Indonesia’s Bangka Belitung province. The research used the research and development method of Gall et al. (1996). Data collection took place at the high school, SMAN 2 Pangkalpinang; both the control and experimental classes consisted of 35 students. Data were collected by observation, questionnaire, interview and documentation and analysed using descriptive qualitative techniques and quantitative statistical tests including multivariate analysis of variance. The result of this research is a multimedia interactive learning product. The data show that the developed media is effective in increasing the students’ musicality and tolerance, but it is not effective in increasing the students’ mutual cooperation.
