THE APPLICATION OF MATHEMATICAL VISUALIZATION MEDIA ON THE COMPETENCE OF GENERAL PHYSICS

difficulties of students in mastering the competence of general physics in the faculty of science and technology (fst) uin sumatera utara is to understand the application of the principle of physics that use mathematics in discussing the exercises of problem solving. The lack of face to face time does not necessarily limit the process of the exercise. Lecturer can facilitate independent learning for students to apply a computer-aided mathematics visualization media. The purpose of research is to describes the results of the application of mathematics visualization media that focus on students’ attitudes toward independent learning computer-aided mathematics visualization media and its influence on the achievements of motion dynamics. The application of mathematics visualization media using the methods of research and development. The design of this media development model of software development through five phases: requirements analysis, design media, media development, implementation, and testing. This study empirically shows first, a mathematics visualization media designed according to criteria of good based media expert assessment of learning as measured by the dimension of visual elements, text elements, and attractiveness the average of 2.33 or 78% fit for use for independent learning for students. Second, the attitude of students toward mathematic visualization media used to support independent learning for students according to criteria of medium shown with an average score of 2.25 or by 75%. Third, the achievements of motion dynamics shows phase to an average of 64.34 (or 78%).
