Abstract

<p class="0abstract"><span lang="EN-US">The research aims to 1) develop a feasible physics learning media based on local wisdom (waterwheel); 2) measure the improvement of student’s representation abilities after using of learning media based on local wisdom . The development of media used 4D model ; (a) define, (b) develop, (c) design, and (d) disseminate. The feasibility of the learning media is obtained through expert validation and limited test. The improvement of the students' vector representation and diagram representation abilities was obtained through field test.The participants of field test were 25 students of experimental class and 25 students of control class in SMAN 3 Yogyakarta. The results show that the local wisdom-based learning media is feasible to use based on the expert validation and limited test. The gain score obtained from field test showed that that the learning media can improve the students' vector representation and diagram representation abilities.</span></p>

Highlights

Nowadays, various learning media can be accessed in mobile, such as personal computing, communication, internet access and many others
This study focus on the use of local wisdom to serve contextual learning
C) Development : developing learning media using Adobe Flash Professional CS 6 and converting it into android mobile apps. In this stage, learning media was tested through expert validation, limited test and field test. after each test, learning media was revised based on the assessments

Summary

Introduction

Various learning media can be accessed in mobile, such as personal computing, communication, internet access and many others. This leads to the common use of mobile media by the junior high school and senior high school students [1][2][3] For this reason, teachers should utilize technology to create an effective, fun and challenging learning environment for students [1]. M-learning emerges as a potential medium to facilitate learning by supporting the communication between teachers and students, enabling flexible learning, enhancing the search and sharing of information, discussions and other features [5][6][7] Due to those advantages, M-learning becomes a promising as well as challenging to be developed and implemented in learning.
