The use of android-based teaching materials in physics learning process at vocational high school

Abstract

This study is purposed to describe the effectiveness of Android based teaching materials for physics learning at vocational school (SMK). Digital teaching materials that are made consist of learning materials equipped with video and animation that can be played through an Android-based smartphone. This research implemented pre experimental design based on one-shoot study case. The effectiveness of Android-based digital teaching materials is examined based on concepts understanding and respons of students. The subject of the research is 40 students of SMK in Surabaya. The concepts understanding is measured by exam test and the students’ response is measured based on Likert-scales. The data analysis used is a descriptive statistic. Android-based digital teaching materials are effective if the average score of students’ conceptual understanding ≥ 60 and the percentage of students’ responses ≥ 61% (good or very good). The results obtained are: the average score of students’ conceptual understanding x = (85 ± 6) and students’ response is categorized very good (percentage of effectiveness are 85%). The results showed that Android-based digital teaching materials are effective to use in Physics learning process at vocational school.
