Development of Mobile Learning Android Application Learning on Patterns of Inheritance of Traits in Mendel's Laws

Abstract

Genetics is a branch of biology that contains a lot of difficult material, for example inheritance patterns, gene interactions, hereditary inheritance and protein synthesis mechanisms, so it requires media as an aid in the learning process. Learning media created using the Kodular.io software is an educational product in the form of an Android application that includes material on inheritance patterns based on Mendel's laws. The aim of this research is to develop mobile learning media, Android application, and material on inheritance patterns based on Mendel's laws and to see the feasibility of learning media. This type of research is Research and Development (R&D) and the research model used includes the stages of Analysis, Design, Development and Evaluation. The research instruments used were observation sheets, questionnaires, research sheets and documentation. The research subjects in the study were students in class XII MA Jambi City Laboratory. The trial was carried out on 6 students and 15 students. The material validation results are in the very feasible category and the media validation results are in the very feasible category. The results of trials in small groups are in the very good category and the results of trials in large groups are in the very good category, and the results of teacher perceptions are in the very good category. Based on data analysis, it can be concluded that the media is suitable for use in learning.
