Abstract

Design of learning development now is much more motivated by the importance of student-centered learning. In other words, students must be active in learning. Learning activity according to [8] consists of two parts: active cognitively and active behaviorally. The combination of both will affect the emergence of meaningful learning. According to [8], the meaningful learning process will emerge when students have high activity in the cognitive, especially if supported by higher activity in the behavior. Thus, the first focus that should be the concern of teachers is how to bring the cognitive activity of the students. Whereas the importance of the cognitive activity, the curriculum of 2013 recommended models based on the student's activity, such as Problem Based Learning, Discovery Learning and Project Based Learning. However, the activity of students in the class necessarily considers its efficiency. Efficiency is based on two things, mental effort and performance. Two learners may get a same performance score but with a very different mental effort. The combination of mental effort and performance measurements can provide an estimate on the relative efficiency condition of learning. It is for that this study attempts to examine how the relative efficiency in the discovery learning model through multimedia.
