ABSTRACT
Many of the unsolved treatments for learners at junior high school level in science subjects are treated more with remedial tests without adequate scaffolding. The use of computer-based media can provide treatment as well as strong assistance to improve students’ conceptual understanding with variations in their learning styles. This research reports four classifications of pedagogical intervention used in the development of a Hypermedia Science Education Adaptive Learning System (ScEd ALS) based on the VARK Fleming learning style with Adobe Flash CS 6 software. This research employs a qualitative method based on interviews, observation, questionnaires and documents analysis. This article focuses on the stages of developing instructional documents on the development of hypermedia. The pedagogical intervention on media is classified into four different learning styles: visual, aural, read/write and kinesthetic. The visual emphasizes on colors and film/animation demos. The aural focuses on music and hearing narration from experts that leads to discussion. Meanwhile, read/write is more focused on the look of an article as information. Kinesthetic emphasizes a demonstration in the form of animated film. Validation from experts gave a good response to media. Media, by considering aspects of pedagogy and variations in learning styles, is very important to facilitate students in gaining meaningful knowledge.
