The Effect of Mobile-Learning Models on Students’ Learning Outcomes of Research Methodology Courses at the Cosmetology and Beauty Department

Abstract

This study identified learning outcomes for students using Android-based mobile learning models as compared to student learning outcomes using conventional learning models. It determined how much influence the Android-based mobile learning model has on student learning outcomes at the Makeup and Cosmetology Department Research Methodology course. This study used a quasi-experimental design method with a non-equivalent control group design. The population was makeup and beauty students who took research methodology courses in the July-December 2019 semester, totaling 94 students consisting of 3 classes. The sampling technique used in this study was cluster sampling from 3 classes; two classes were taken randomly. From the two classes, there was an experimental group for 30 students and as a control group for 31 students. The experimental class applied the Android-based mobile learning model of learning media, and the control class applied the conventional learning model. Research data collection used tests and documentation. The data collected were pretest and posttest data. The techniques of data analysis used quantitative descriptive. The hypothesis testing method used was the t-test analysis. The results showed that two crucial points. First, the calculation of scores on student learning outcomes has an increase in classes that applied an Android-based learning model. Second, the t-test results showed this study succeeded in applying the Android-based learning model to affect learning outcomes and effectively improve student learning outcomes in research methodology courses in the Department of Make-Up and Cosmetology
