This study aims to analyze and describe android-based learning media's role in teaching students critical thinking skills and scientific attitudes. The learning media are Androwebic (android-based webcomic) and E-Bokartumban (e-book on plant diversity in Banjarnegara), developed previously. This research is a qualitative descriptive study involving 301 students, six biology teachers and six high school students. The data collected includes critical thinking skills, analytical skills, scientific attitudes, environmental care attitudes, media components supporting student competence, and teacher and student responses. Data on critical thinking and analytical skills were measured using tests and non-tests. Other data were measured using non-test instruments, including interview guides, scientific attitude observation sheets, students' environmental care attitudes, media component observation sheets, and student and teacher questionnaires. Quantitative data on critical thinking and analytical skills were analyzed using the n-gain test, while other data were descriptively analyzed. The research results showed that the E-Bokartumban and Androwebic components support students' critical thinking skills, analytical skills, and environmental care attitudes. Androwebic can train students' analytical thinking skills and scientific attitude. The two media developed were considered very helpful in the learning process. The study concluded that Android-based media in Androwebic and E-Bokartumban have a vital role in training critical thinking skills, analytical skills, scientific attitudes, and environmental care attitudes.
The research aimed to describe the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of Andro-Webcomic media based on problem-based learning as a learning media to improve students’ analytical thinking ability and scientific attitudes. The development design used was Research and Development (R&D) and used the ADDIE model, limited to the ADD (Analysis, Design, Development) stage. At the product development stage, small-scale trials are carried out, which this phrase was limited to 9 students of class XI MIPA at one of the high schools in Jepara. The instruments used were validation sheets, test sheets, observation sheets for students’ scientific attitudes, student and teacher questionnaire responses. The results of this study indicate that: (1) the validity of the Andro-Webcomic media is 95.58%; (2) effective in improving analytical thinking of 88.89% with an n-gain score of 67% and a scientific attitude of 87.19%; (3) practicality based on student responses of 98.39% and teacher responses of 97.36%; (4) media component that supports improving competencies is on the webcomic and investigation menu. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the Andro-Webcomic media is valid, practical, and effective in improving students’ analytical thinking ability and scientific attitudes.
