Android-Based Network Services Application Learning Media for Vocational High Schools

Abstract

<p class="Abstract">Digital and communication technology has developed in combination with globalization to ensure quick connectivity and distribution of information. In particular, the quality of education is one of the education challenges that have become a target for urgent solutions. From the various conditions and potentials that exist, efforts that can be made concerning quality improvement in schools are to develop a student-oriented learning system (children center) and facilitate student’s needs for learning needs that are challenging, active, creative, innovative, practical, and fun by developing and apply learning based on Information and Communication Technology. This research was generated using the media development method, which refers to Four-D development, which consists of four stages: Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate, carried out in high school. Vocational class XI Computer and Network Engineering. In this study, the test subjects were students of class XI Computer and Network Engineering at SMK Negeri 8 Padang. The three validator’s assessment as a whole, the validator test assessment of Android-Based Learning Media is 94.28%. The validity level can be interpreted as being Very Valid to use. Overall, the practicality assessment of Android-Based Learning Media as a learning resource is 88.46%, so that the level of practicality can be interpreted as Very Practical to use. The evaluation of Android-Based Learning Media's effectiveness of 90.86%, so that the level of significance can be interpreted as Very Good for use.<strong></strong></p>

Development of Camera and Lens Recognition Learning Media Based on Augmented Reality

“…Source : www.google.com The specific purpose of this research is to learn media using effective, practical and effective augmented reality techniques (Novaliendry, Huda, Sanita, et al, 2021). The urgency of this research is that photography is a compulsory subject in Vocational High Schools (SMK) in the Multimedia department but has difficulties when it comes to doing practicals at home.…”

“…Covid-19 is currently still colonizing the country of Indonesia, where the spread of this disease is very fast from one to the other. Not only in Indonesia, even the world is currently being hit by a health crisis due to Covid-19 (Buliali, 2021;Novaliendry, Huda, Sanita, et al, 2021). Initially the spread of Covid-19 only had an impact on starting economic activities, as reported by the daily news Kompas (2020) the government in all regions also made road closure policies to regional restrictions for residents who wanted to go in and out of an area which was also called lockdown (Fadhilaturrahmi, Ananda, and Yolanda 2021;Wafa and Fahmi 2020).…”

“…The Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (Mendikbud) pursued this guideline through a Circular Letter (SE) No. 4 of 2020 on the implementation of educational guidelines when Covid19 needs to be disseminated, that is, learning from home online or through distance learning to providing a new learning experience for students (Novaliendry, Huda, Sanita, et al, 2021), without feeling burdened with demands to complete all curriculum achievements both for grade promotion and graduation (Pakpahan and Fitriani 2020;Nistrina 2021;Wibowo and Saepuloh 2020;Mandasari, Subandowo, and Gunawan 2021). This has a very big impact on learning activities that should be carried out in a practical way by students (Ananda Saraswati & Mertayasa, 2020).…”

“…On the other hand, this practicum activity cannot be simply eliminated so it is in line with the nature of learning photography. To support learning that it continues to be carried out and conveyed properly, Augmented reality-based learning media have been developed as distance learning tools to support learning in a way that is performed correctly and continues to be communicated (Novaliendry, Huda, Sanita, et al, 2021). So students can follow the learning process well without having to have complete practical tools (Yaacob et al, 2021).…”

Development of Android-Based Learning Media to Improve Teachers' Pedagogical Aspects for Competence Program of Metal Casting Engineering

“…In vocational high schools, teachers are already using information and communication technology-based media, but the use of these media is still not optimal, so supporting learning media are needed that are able to display text, images, videos, animations, simulations, and evaluations to improve student understanding. With the variations in the use of various android-based media in the learning process, it is intended for the implementation of an effective and efficient learning process [3].…”
