This research aims to explore the effects between using multimedia animation and traditional graphic in teaching origami for 6th grade students. This quasi-experimental research was used and measured by pretest, posttest, and performance assessment to understand the learning effects.In this research, two 6th grade classes were recruited and have 30 students in each class, and were divided into two groups, including experimental group and control group. After the six lessons, descriptive statistics, t-test was used to analyze pretest, and posttest data. The result of this research as follows:1. There is no significant learning difference of the basic concepts of origami between students in experimental group and control group.2. The students in animation group obtain greater scores than the traditional graphic group in the performance assessment.3. The medium level students of the experimental group are greater than control group of the basic concepts of origami.4. In general, the students in experimental group agree that the animation is useful to realize the steps of making origami.
