Improving Students’ Academic Achievement Using the ScEd-ALS Android-Based

Abstract

Ubiquitous learning has recently gained increasing popularity in the education sector, which significantly increased the efficiency of individual and collaborative learning. The aim of this study is to develop an Android version of science education-adaptive learning system (ScEd-ALS) as a science learning medium to accommodate various learning styles. The method used in this research is a mixedmethod consisting of a qualitative method, which is a developmental method that provides illustrations concerning the process of creating the developed media, and a quantitative method, which utilizes quasi-experiments to determine the effectiveness of the developed media application. The study comprised 114 eighthgrade junior high school students and three integrated science teachers in South Tangerang. The final product of the study is an Android-based science learning medium that conforms to the visual, aural, reading/writing, and kinesthetic student learning styles. Hence, this Android-based ScEd-ALS was found to be feasible and useful, as assessed by five experts (two media experts and three science education material experts). Nonetheless, there were significant differences in the learning outcomes between the experimental class using the Android version of ScEd-ALS compared to the control class. The effectiveness of using ScEd-ALS in this study was measured based on the percentage of students' mastery level. ScEd-ALS Android based on visual and kinesthetic learning styles are the most effective media compared to aural and read/write.

Entrepreneurship-Based Biotechnology E-Module Development to Improve Critical and Creative Thinking Skills

“…The advantages of the entrepreneurship-based biotechnology e-module application were learning media that were flexible and accessible anytime and anywhere so that they could be used as an alternative to Android-based online learning . In line with the research of (Handaru & Pujiriyanto, 2020;Sofyan, Hendra et al, 2019;Zulfiani et al, 2021) that the Android e-module is very practical, so that it can be recommended for learning.The biotechnology module is entrepreneurial-oriented to increase student entrepreneurial interest (Astiana et al, 2022;Harichandran et al, 2018). However, the drawback was that this module was still in printed form, not an e-module (soft files) that can be accessed via Android or a computer.…”

Designing Android based Mobile Application for Earth Layer Learning at Junior High School

“…Furthermore, the utilization of earth layer application has been demonstrated to have a good impact on students' cognitive learning results. The study's findings are significant to Zulfiani's research development of science education-adaptive learning system (ScEd-ALS) (Zulfiani et al, 2021).…”

“…The procedure can help students have a better knowledge of science. One strategy to improve cognitive learning outcomes is to develop students' scientific understanding (Zulfiani et al, 2021). In addition to the photos, the earth layer application also includes video.…”

“…The study proves that when the experimental class used the Android version of ScEd-ALS compared to the control class, there were substantial changes in learning results. In comparison to auditory and read/write, ScEd-ALS Android based on visual and kinesthetic learning styles are the most effective media (Zulfiani et al, 2021). Furthermore, Ahmed & Parsons, (2013) did a study on learning utilizing Think Learn programs.…”
