Developing an android-based learning media on human auditory system for junior high school students

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to produce an Android-based learning media on Human Auditory System for VIII graders of Junior High School. The product is packed in the Application Package File (.apk) format and was triumphantly developed using the Research and Development model consisting of several stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The application contains Objectives, Materials, Simulation, and Interactive Evaluation. The product entitled “Human Auditory System” could be accessed on the Google Play Store. The application was assessed by materials experts, media experts, and teachers. Moreover, the product has gone through three stages of evaluation in VIII Grade of Junior High School students involving six students in One-to-One Trial, 12 students in Small-Scale Trial, and 30 students in Field Trial. The results showed that this product was conveniently used as the learning media for Human Auditory Systems in VIII Grade of Junior High School with a validity value of 4.22 (excellent), and a practicality score of 4.31 (excellent).

The Effectiveness of the Planetarium Android Learning Application Virtual Observatory on Solar System Material

“…Android system technology is worthy of consideration for learning media development because it has an opensource platform that gives freedom to developers. That is also supported by the popularity of using smartphones in Indonesia among students (Billah & Yazid, 2020;Dwitiyanti et al, 2020;Mahfud & Billah, 2020;Sajidan et al, 2020).…”

Smartphone users experience rapid development among students, so it is appropriate to be used in learning (Billah & Yazid, 2020;Dwitiyanti et al, 2020;Mahfud & Billah, 2020;Sajidan et al, 2020). A smartphone can be used as a learning medium to help teachers and students (Sulistianingsih, 2017) in online learning.…”
