PENGEMBANGAN MOBILE LEARNING BERBASIK ANDROID SERTA PERANGKAT PENUNJANG LAINNYA UNTUK MENINGKATKAN LITERASI SAINS ILMU PENGETAHUAN ALAM

Abstract

The advancement of information and communication technology, particularly Android-based devices, has the potential to support interactive and flexible learning, which is essential for improving science literacy among junior high school students. This study develops an Android-based mobile learning medium along with a teaching module and a science literacy evaluation test on the topic of ecology and biodiversity. The research employed the ADDIE model using a qualitative-statistical approach, including empirical validity, content validation, panelist validation, and effectiveness evaluation through an N-gain test. The results indicate that the developed application and its supporting tools have a very high level of feasibility based on expert validation and positive responses from teachers and students. The use of this medium effectively enhances students’ science literacy, as shown by an improvement in post-test scores (gain score of 0.673). The implications of this research suggest that utilizing Android-based mobile learning applications can foster more interactive and high-quality science learning, as well as create opportunities for the development of digital learning media. This study makes an important contribution to improving the quality of science education through mobile learning technology.
