Development and effectiveness of mobile learning teaching materials to increase students’ creative thinking skills

Abstract

This study aims to develop mobile learning (m-learning) teaching materials on straight-line equations and analyze its effectiveness in increasing junior high school students’ creative thinking skills. The method used is the R&D developed by Alessi and Trollip. The stages of this research include planning, design, and development. The planning stage includes determining the scope, identifying existing teaching materials and student characteristics, and collecting references. The design stage includes analysis of the material concept, making flowcharts and storyboards of teaching materials. The development stage includes preparing teaching materials through expert validation and two trials, making mobile learning applications, and evaluating teaching materials to analyze their effectiveness. The teaching materials were evaluated by material, and media experts then tested on 30 students. The m-learning teaching material developed is an Android smartphone application that students can use as a support source for learning mathematics. This study’s subjects were all class VIII Yastrib Junior High School students, as many as 30 people. The results showed that the m-learning teaching materials on straight line equations developed were feasible to use. Their effectiveness in developing creative thinking skills in the learning process was considered adequate for students with an effect size value of 2.51, which was in the very high category.

Improving the Critical Thinking Ability of Vocational High School Students through Digital Teaching Material

“…Even though almost all students and teachers are familiar with the presence of technology, such as smartphones. Of course this can be a good start to providing and presenting ICT-based teaching material innovations in e-module format into the learning process that uses its learning foundation, namely the Merdeka curriculum (Aufa et al, 2021;Ningtyas & Jati, 2018;Yaniawati et al, 2021).…”

Pengembangan Mobile Learning Berdasarkan pada Teori Humanistik dalam Menstimulasi Kreatifitas Anak

“…Proses belajar pada PAUD ditekankan pada pengembangan proses berpikir dan proses berkreasi yang sesuai dengan tingkat kecerdasan yang dimiliki oleh anak. Salah satu proses yang penting dikembangkan pada PAUD adalah pengembangan kreativitas (Yaniawati et al, 2021).…”

“…Peran guru dalam pembelajaran humanistik adalah menjadi fasilitator bagi para anak sedangkan guru memberikan motivasi, kesadaran mengenai makna belajar dalam kehidupan anak . Guru memfasilitasi pengalaman belajar kepada anak dan mendampingi anak untuk memperoleh tujuan pembelajaran dalam bentuk partisipasi, intergrasi, keterkaitan, transparansi yang digunakan untuk menekankan penempaan akal dan mental peserta didik, agar mampu menjadi sosok intelektual yang berbudaya (Yaniawati et al, 2021).…”

Implementation of Gamification in Mathematics m-Learning Application to Creating Student Engagement

“…Mobile application development (m-learning) is one of the media that is currently widely used in the development of learning applications other than e-learning [7]. This is supported by easy access [8], a more flexible learning process [9], as well as its ability to provide interactive and communicative mechanisms [10] to be one of the causes of the development of e-learning learning models toward m-learning [11].…”
