Interactive Learning Media for English Subjects Using AR-Based Mobile Applications

Abstract

Education has an important role and is a significant aspect in improving the quality of a country’s human resources. One of the fields of education that contributes to the progress of the nation is English education. It is crucial to recognize and master English from an early age because English is a tool to develop science, ICT, and culture in facing the nation’s competitiveness in the national and international arena. However, in reality, there are still problems with the learning styles of students and the learning media used. Therefore, educators need to be able to integrate learning with learning media by combining these two elements. This research aims to create interactive learning media and stimulate maximum learning outcomes for students in class XI SMA in the English language suggestion subject. This learning media, called ARCALIS, is a mobile-based learning media combined with Augmented Reality. The development research method used is R&D with the Plomp model. The study results show that the ARCALIS application is ready to be distributed to users and is suitable for use as an interactive learning media, and can make students think critically (HOTS). This can be seen from the results of the SUS trial, which obtained a score of 68.86%, the results of critical thinking trials with a score of 84.25%, the media validation with a score of 93.54% , and the results of material validation with a score of 93.61% average the average of the three validation results get a valid category without revision.
