Development of Android Comics media on Thermodynamic Experiment to Map the Science Process Skill for Senior High School

Abstract

Technological development influences smartphone addiction. Low academic achievement has a negative influence on school life. Comics include media that are often used in everyday life and as entertainment facilities. Comics are not only functioned as entertainment tools, but are also used in education. Physics laboratories are still minimally utilized by physics teachers in schools, so students’ science process skills are still lacking. The purpose of this study was to measure science process skills using Android-based physics comics on thermodynamic practicums. Development models used, namely R & D of Borg and Gall. Learning is done in the form of practicum on thermodynamic material. Android media use is used to measure science process skills. Physics learning innovation is applied in the XI science class of one of the senior high schools in Sleman, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Data obtained from observation sheets of science process skills from modelling and implementation classes are very good; good; and enough. The results revealed that the application of Android comic media on thermodynamic experiment could map the science process skills of senior high school.

The effect of the use of indigenous knowledge-based Physics comics of Android-based marbles games on verbal representation and critical thinking abilities in Physics teaching

“…The aforedisplayed finding of this research states that the Android-based physics comic is feasible to use in physics instruction. This statement is supported by previous research (Hadi & Dwijananti, 2015;Sari, Ratnaningtyas, Wilujeng, Jumadi & Kuswanto, 2019) stating that an Android-based physics comic medium is feasible as a supplementary learning material for students. The use of mobile learning in teaching can improve a high learning achievement and it can be a medium to support teaching.…”

Development of physics comic based on local wisdom: Hopscotch (engklek) game android-assisted to improve mathematical representation ability and creative thinking of high school students

“…So that comics can be effective educational tools at various levels of education and are not only used as entertainment tools [2, 7,8]. The development of Android-based physics comic media is appropriate to be used in physics learning in class and categorized as good for students [44].…”

Developing Android-Based Marbles Game Comics Using Group Investigation Model in Physics Learning

“…The results of the research have presented the statement that physics comics based on android are suitable for use in the physics learning process. This statement occurs from several previous studies [25], [12] Physics comic media statement based on android is feasible to be used as a learning supplement for students. This comic media can be used in the learning process both in the classroom and outside the classroom.…”
