The development of android-based learning media on vibrations and waves topic for junior high school students

Abstract

Instilling abstract concept of vibrations and waves into students requires proper learning media and this research intended to develop such learning media. The Android-based learning media on Vibrations and Waves topic for VIII grade junior high school students have been successfully created through the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model. The interactive research product entitled “Vibrations and Waves” packed in Application Package File (.apk) is downloadable on Google Play Store. The application contains texts, figures, and animations that can be accessed on the Objective, Materials, Simulation, Exercise, and Evaluation menu. This product has been through a validation test and product trial. The validation was performed by materials expert, media expert, and teachers while the trial was done to VIII grade junior high school students. There were three students in the One-to-One Trial, twelve students in the Small-Scale Trial, and twenty-eight students in the Field Trial. The validity and practicality of the product were respectively 4.24 (excellent); and 4.43 (excellent). Also, the students stated that this learning media could be used as an independent learning source while the teachers convinced that this product is a supportive school learning source.

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).…”

“…The current trend in online learning is mobile learning (m-learning), namely the use of portable media devices such as smartphones as learning media (Dhawan, 2020;Martin et al, 2020;Martono & Nurhayati, 2014). 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.…”

“…Its use also supports this as a means of daily communication (Churiyah et al, 2020;Purwanto et al, 2020;Winaldi et al, 2020). Online learning needs independent learning resources that can be used anywhere and anytime (Billah & Yazid, 2020;Mahfud & Billah, 2020;Sajidan et al, 2020) installed on a smartphone. Another contributing factor is the large selection of applications that can be developed as needed.…”

Thematic Analysis of Indonesian Physics Education Research Literature Using Machine Learning

“…Complex applications within education makes this topic definitely diverse and broad. The demand for 21st century learning, the national call of the 2013 curriculum, and the rapid development of the digital age have been impactful for Indonesian PER scholars in the development of a vast number of technical assistances within physics learning, including audio-visual media [118,[291][292][293][294][295][296][297][298], web-based applications [299,300], android applications [119][120][121][122][301][302][303][304][305][306][307][308], augmented reality [309], and distance learning [310][311][312]. The cultural context of Indonesian society is presented through the delivery of educational technology [306,[313][314][315][316][317][318][319].…”

Implementasi Pembelajaran Tatap Muka Di Masa Pandemi Covid-19

“…Pada tataran pelaksanaanya pembelajaran daring memerlukan dukungan perangkat-perangkat mobile seperti smartphone atau telepon adroid, laptop, komputer, tablet, dan iphone yang dapat dipergunakan untuk mengakses informasi kapan saja dan dimana saja (Gikas & Grant, 2013) (Haryanto & Billah, 2020). Hadirnya teknologi sebagai media pembelajaran sangat membantu siswa dan guru dalam proses pembelajaran (Mahfudz & Billah, 2020) (Haryanto & Billah, 2020). Bahkan, media pembelajaran berbasis teknologi android dapat memfasilitasi siswa untuk dapat belajar secara mandiri, berulang, dan tidak terbatas ruang dan waktu (Sajidan et al, 2020) (Putri & Billah, 2019).…”
