1 INTRODUCTION

Floor gymnastics is a sport that combines aspects of

acrobatics, tumbling and beauty (Margono, 2009).

Floor gymnastics is in demand by all age levels

ranging from children to adults so that the floor

gymnastics club is spread in every region throughout

Indonesia. “Theory and Methodology of Training”

the nursery for floor gymnastics athletes is carried

out since children aged 6-7 (Bompa, 1983). Children

at this range of age still have more flexible muscle

and joint structures.

(Arsyad, 2010) Argued that the use of

instructional media in the teaching and learning

process can arouse new desires and interests, arouse

motivation and stimulation of learning, and even

bring psychological effects on students. The

creativity of the trainer is indispensable for the

process of training the athletes. Therefore, coaches

need to know the right learning media given to

athletes. The importance of learning media for

athletes in order to create a pleasant training

atmosphere, facilitate the trainer to convey basic

motion techniques trained, so that athletes are

interested in and love the branches of floor

gymnastics, creates motivation for athletes to be able

to master basic motion techniques and advanced

movement techniques well.

In the learning process the presence of

instructional media has quite an important meaning.

It is due to in these activities the obscurity of the

material presented can be assisted by presenting the

media as an intermediary. Based on observations

made by researchers on the internet, there are many

media learning applications for floor gymnastics but

the majority is in English and use human videos as

learning. The motion technique and the whole series

in floor gymnastics are assessed using the Code of

Point as a standard of evaluation in a race. Code of

Point is a rule book created by the FIG as a reference

assessment system for each level of technique in

floor gymnastics branch

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_Points_(artis

tic_gymnastics)). Floor gymnastics learning software

that already exists in the Play Store such as

Gymnastics, Gymnastics Artistic App, Artistic

Gymnastics applications using human videos as an

object are considered less optimal in describing the

details of gymnastic movement techniques. And the

material in the application is in the form of a link to

YouTube, so the explanation of the material is less

effective. In order to deliver the material more

optimally, material in accordance with the technique

in the Code of Point is needed in the form of

animation so that it is able to display the correct and

easier way understand the stages of the movement.

Based on the above background, the research

entitled the development of learning media software

"stop motion floor gymnastics techniques on

android-based smartphones" needs to be done

immediately.

2 RESEARCH METHOD

2.1 Type of Research

This research applied a Research and Development

method. Research and development is a process or

steps to develop a new product or improve existing

products, which can be accounted for (Sukmadinata,

2011). Research and development is product-

oriented research. States that research and

development is research method employed to

produce certain products, and test the effectiveness

of these products (Sugiyono, 2011).

2.2 Research Place

Data collected at Selabora Floor Gymnastics FIK

UNY and Yogyakarta City Floor Gymnastics Club.

Data collection carried out during training hours and

training grounds of each club.

2.3 Testing Subject

There are two test subjects in this research and

development:

2.3.1 Expert Trial Subject

(a) Media Expert: The referred media expert is the

expert who is used to dealing with learning media.

(b) Material Expert: The material expert is

lecturer/teaching staff, trainer or floor gymnastics

expert whose role is to determine whether the floor

gymnastic material packaged in the learning media

"stop motion floor gymnastics techniques on

android-based smartphones" is in accordance with

the level of material depth and authenticity of the

material used or not yet.

2.3.2 User Trial Subject

The trial subjects in the use of this product are

athletes who practice at a gym club in Sleman

Regency. The trial was carried out through several

stages. The first stage was one by one trial with the

number of research subjects as many as 3 athletes

and the next stage was a field trial with a total of 10

research subjects.

The technique of determining the subjects of

trials in this research development is the simple

random sampling method. Simple random sampling

is a sampling technique or subject that provides

equal opportunities for each element (member) of

the population to be elected as a sample or subject

member (Sugiyono, 2011).

2.4 Data Collection Instrument

An instrument is a tool used to measure observed

natural or social phenomena (Sugiyono, 2011). The

instrument for collecting data in this research

development applying a questionnaire, namely open

questionnaire and closed questionnaire. Open

questionnaire is used to find out the advice of the

sample given, and a closed questionnaire containing

the statements chosen by the trial subjects and

material experts.

2.5 Instrument Validation

Validity in this instrument is content validity. The

instruments that have been made are tested by

material and media experts by comparing material or

product plans to be developed.

Technically testing the content validity can be

supported by using the instrument reference, or the

instrument development matrix (Sugiyono, 2010).

2.6 Data Analysis Technique

After the data is collected, the data is classified into

two data groups, namely qualitative data and

quantitative data (Arikunto, 1996). Qualitative data

obtained through expert validation and trial activities

in the form of opinions, responses, criticism and

suggestions. Quantitative data in the form of

assessment, collected through questionnaires or

product trial questionnaires, at the time of the trial

activities, analyzed with descriptive quantitative

analysis. Percentage is intended to find out the status

of the entity presented as a percentage. After

reaching the percentage later be interpreted with a

sentence qualitatively.
