Android-based Interactive Learning Media for Junior High School Science: Improving the Achievement of Independent Curriculum

Abstract

This research aims to determine: (1) the quality of Android-based interactive learning media and (2) the response of teachers and students to Android-based interactive learning media in the form of an independent curriculum. A research and development (R&D) study was conducted by adapting the 4-D development model (define, design, develop, and disseminate). A sample of teachers and students from a junior high school in Bireuen Regency was selected using a stratified-cluster random sampling technique (i.e., selecting research locations based on an even distribution of teacher and student populations). The initial stage of product assessment was carried out by media experts, material experts, and four chemical experts, and responses from 33 students. The results show that: (1) Based on the validity test performed by media experts and material experts, the overall average percentage in the “Valid” category was 83% and 84.5%, respectively. (2) Based on the responses from teachers, the overall average percentage in the “Very Good” category was 95.8%. The results of this research indicate that Android-based interactive learning media in the form of an independent curriculum is valid and very suitable for use in junior high school science learning.
