Abstract

The difficulty of students in understanding concepts in physics has a significant effect on students motivation. The purpose of this study is to develop animation media that make students easier to understand the abstract concept of Newtons law and find out students responses to the use of instructional media. The 4D framework is used to develop animation based learning media, wich consists of four-phase, namely: define, design, develop, and disseminate. The instruments used are a questionnaire and interviews. The results showed that the use of media animation in learning physics could facilitate students in understanding the abstract concept of Newtons Law, especially in describing the direction of the force and can increase student motivation.
