Development of Android-Based Interactive Physics Mobile Learning Media (IPMLM) with Scaffolding Learning Approach to Improve HOTS of high school students in Indonesia

Abstract

The objectives of this study are to: a) Produce an Android-based Interactive Physics Mobile Learning Media (IPMLM) that is eligible for improving Higher-order Thinking Skills (HOTS) of high school students; b) Determine the effectiveness of the use of Android-based interactive physics mobile learning media with a scaffolding learning approach in improving Higher-order Thinking Skills (HOTS) for high school students. The research subjects were 1070 high school students in five regencies/cities. The technique of analyzing the data of empirical test questions used item response theory analysis by looking at the compatibility of items with the model based on the INFIT MNSQ (infit mean square) value. Extensive test data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Inferential statistics were performed using the ANOVA mixed design test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results show that a) Android-based interactive physics mobile learning media applications and learning devices are appropriate to be used to improve higher-order thinking skills; b) the use of android-based interactive physics mobile learning media (IPMLM) with an effective scaffolding learning approach in improving higher-order thinking skills. The effective contribution of the experimental group in increasing the ability of HOTS is 84.80%. The effective contribution of the control group that uses learning tools with the direct learning assisted by Physics textbooks in increasing HOTS ability is 55.50%.

Problem-Based Learning Approach with Supported Interactive Multimedia in Physics Course: Its Effects on Critical Thinking Disposition

“…This is reinforced by Persson et al (2010), that adding interactive multimedia through a problem-based learning approach made students more motivated and stimulated in learning process. Interactive multimedia was indeed very suitable to be applied in developing a range of high order thinking skills (Dasilva et al, 2019) and science process skills (Gunawan et al, 2019), this factor greatly influences the development of students' problem-solving skills.…”

Effect of Scaffolding Strategies on Higher-Order Thinking Skills in Science Classroom

“…In other words, students would have an initial picture as they become familiar with the phenomenon. Hence, the significance of scaffolding application lies in the fact of providing a positive influence on students' achievement because it assists them in formulating relevant hypotheses during learning processes (Dasilva et al, 2019). The significance of the present research comes through understanding the importance of HOTs that have become one of the top priorities in education in general and have been incorporated into the revised science curriculum in particular.…”

Pengembangan media pembelajaran fisika berbasis android di SMA Negeri 3 Ngabang

“…Dengan media android ini, siswa dapat belajar fisika baik di dalam maupun luar kelas. Selain kemampuan kognitif, penggunaan media android dalam belajar fisika juga mampu meningkatkan kemampuan lainnya seperti berpikir ilmiah dan tingkat tinggi (Dasilva, et al (2019). Pengembangan media android dengan bentuk "othok-othok toy ship" mampu meningkatkan kompetensi siswa dalam merepresentasikan diagram dan argumentasi dalam pembelajaran fisika (Liliarti & Kuswanto, 2018).…”
