Abstract
This study aims to look at differences in students' perceptions about the use of mobile-based practicums. This type of research is a mixed method, involving 117 students with 59 students in the physics education study program and 58 students in the chemistry education study program. Data collection uses an interview and perception questionnaire about mobile-based practicum guides using a Likert scale of 5, for data analysis using descriptive and inferential statistics in the form of an independent sample t-test. Based on the results of data analysis from the perception questionnaire produced for the basic physics practicum guide based on mobile learning, it can be concluded that the basic physics practicum guide based on mobile learning has a positive response, which was given by physics education study program students and Chemistry study program students with the perception results of educational study programs physics included in the frequency category 38 and the percentage are 64.4%. And for the perception of chemistry study programs, it is also included in the good category contained at frequency 28 with a percentage of 48.3%. There are differences in the two classes, and physics education students have a dominant category better than chemistry education students as shown by the t-test conducted. Therefore, it is recommended to use technology in the learning media to be taught, because it has various advantages in using it.
Highlights
The rapid development of technology has led to a variety of new applications, such as smartphones
In 2016 the Indonesian Internet Network Providers Association (APJII) surveyed the results showing that 89.7%, the largest internet users in Indonesia were students
Mixed methods can refer to the use of quantitative and qualitative data in answering research questions as well as being part of a larger research program and is designed as a complement to providing information related to different methodological approaches [32]
Summary
The rapid development of technology has led to a variety of new applications, such as smartphones. The smartphone has become an obligatory requirement among students. According to [1], the development of technology can be used as a learning medium that can support the learning process. In 2016 the Indonesian Internet Network Providers Association (APJII) surveyed the results showing that 89.7%, the largest internet users in Indonesia were students. The problem that needs to be addressed by educators is to direct students to better use the internet in the realm of education [2]. An example that still uses the internet a little is a basic physics course
