Development of an android-based math equation editor

Abstract

The long-term goal of this research is to develop Android-based learning as an alternative to mathematics learning. Meanwhile, the specific objective to be achieved in this research is to examine the effect of Mathematics learning media in the form of an Android-based Math Equation Editor on student achievement in high school. This research is a Research and Development (R&D) research. There are 8 stages in this study, namely (1) Potential and problems, (2) Data collection, (3) Product design, (4) Design validation, (5) Design revision, (6) Product testing, (7) Design revision, and (8) Trial usage. The conclusions obtained from the development of the Android-based Mathematical Equation Editor as an exponential learning media are valid, practical and effective. The conclusions of this study are: (1) Android-based Math Equation Editor Products are valid, practical and effective. Its validity can be seen from the results of the validator assessment analysis of the Mathematics learning media in the form of an Android-based Math Equation Editor obtained by Pearson correlation of 0.322; (2) Its practicality is seen from the results of user assessment analysis through limited trials of Mathematics Equation Editor-shaped learning media in the form of Android which shows an average score of 3.958 with practical criteria; (3) Its effectiveness is seen from the results of the analysis of student assessments through field trials of Mathematics Equation Editor-shaped learning media based on Android can improve student mathematics learning achievement in Mathematic.

Analysis of Students' Mathematical Representation Skills through Android Application-based Mathematics Learning

“…Mobile-based learning opened the learning boundaries to support learners to learn anytime, anywhere, with ease. Relevant preliminary research studies include: (Kularbphettong et al, 2015;Laouris & Laouri, 2008;Ma et al, 2014;Nuraeni et al, 2020) whose research conclusions are that smartphone-based learning can be an effective learning alternative for students and teachers in improving students' learning achievement and has interesting development prospects for further studies. However, there are not many studies that examine further about the analysis of the impact of android-based learning on mathematical representation ability.…”

Implementation Worked Example-Based Learning to Improve Junior High School Students' Mathematical Representation Ability

“…The ability of mathematical representation in question is the ability to restate notations, symbols, tables, pictures, graphs, diagrams, equations, or other mathematical expressions into other forms (Nuraeni et al, 2020). However, there are still many students in Indonesia who have not been able to represent mathematics properly, one of which is in representing geometric material (Nuraeni et al, 2021).…”
