Use of Integrated Mobile Application With Realistic Mathematics Education: A Study to Develop Elementary Students’ Creative Thinking Ability

Abstract

One of the abilities students must possess is Creative Thinking Ability (CTA) in order to succeed in their lives. Learning must facilitate students to develop CTA; one of them is by developing a mobile application based on Realistic Mathematics Education (RME). The purpose of this study is to determine the level of validity/feasibility, practicality, and effectiveness of mobile application based RME. This mobile application development used the ADDIE model development procedure. The subjects in this study were grade 4 elementary school students. The validation data collection techniques through validation sheets, practicality data through CTA tests. The results of the study show that the developed of mobile application integrated with realistic mathematics meets valid/proper requirements based on expert and practitioner assessments that are practical and easy if applied in mathematics learning and that is effective in improving students’ creative thinking ability.

An Integration of "Online Interactive Apps" for Learning Application of Graph Theory to Enhance Creative Problem Solving of Mathematics Students

“…These findings confirm the previous studies by [20], and [21]. Refer to the previous research: Engineering Education using web-based Interactive multimedia applications [31] , interactive learning using digital assistance [32], the effect of web-based professional improve teachers' Problem Solving Strategies [20], effective integration of interactivity into future online courses [14], and Integrating mobile applications to improve creative thinking [25] these results support the idea of integrating learning with "Online Interactive Apps".…”

“…Other studies linking creativity with the development of ICT, for example creative through ICT can be seen in [23] and [24]. Integrating mobile applications to improve creative thinking can be seen in [25] and adoption of mobile applications as learning tools for higher education [26]. While the development of creative learning with e-learning can be seen in [27] and [28].…”

The Development and Application of Interactive Multimedia in Project-Based Learning to Enhance Students' Achievement for 2D Animation Making

“…Research on this model is focused on scenario design that needs to be well designed [10]. Problems raised by teachers are often applicable in the real world, and therefore, students are trained to solve problems that require creative thinking [11], [12]. PjBL presents challenges that require students to work together in groups to solve problems to arouse their curiosity and initiative in problem-solving [13].…”

Developing an Android-Based Mobile Application for Civic Education Learning

“…The learning media developed in this research is an Android-based application called "LEGASI" that can be downloaded from the Google Play Store. This application is believed to improve the quality of learning in the classroom and are highly effective for improving student learning outcomes [33], [34], [35]. In addition, an Android-based application which has been developed help students with hearing impairments to learn to read the Quran [36].…”
