Abstract

Development of student understanding of nature of science, conceptual understanding, and scientific literacy on learning must be supported by proper learning process. An offline and online environment on mobile learning oriented with Nature of Science oriented learning can be considered to commit. Mobile-Nature of Science (Mobile-NOS) is suitable model of learning for this purpose. Evaluating the influence of Mobile-NOS model of learning application towards Students' understanding of nature of science, chemistry concept understanding, and scientific literacy on general chemistry learning are focus of this study. This study was carried out by posttest only control group design, in form of quasi experimental. There are 44 sample determined by saturated sampling technique of general chemistry students as population. Sample divided into two group equally, the experimental and control group. Data were collected by understanding nature of science questionnaire, scientific literacy test, and chemistry conceptual understanding test. Data was analyzed by independence sample t test. The result of the study showed that the application mobile-NOS model of learning make students better on understanding of nature of science, conceptual understanding, and scientific literacy

Mobile technology has support the born of the concept of mobile learning as new teaching and learning techniques. [5] [6] defined mobile learning as the application of tablets, PCs, or smartphones technology in the learning process

Summary

Introduction

More than 95% of students in colleges are users of smart mobile devices and use this for academic purposes. Using the mobile devices can supporting students learning on the move at any place and any time as new task of learning [1][2][3]. The use of mobile technologies in education impacts student motivation. Designing mobile technology for learning in university should provide an appropriate, supportive, enriched environment for this method of learning [7][8]. Students convenience with the interactivity and accessibility of mobile learning [9]. This encourage students in fun learning activities and place students as the main subject in learning, foster motivation to learn, foster to develop student skills, so learning becomes meaningful [10][11][12]. There is a need for mobile applications that create effective environments which are student centered [14][6]
