Development of Android-Based Teaching Material in Software Engineering Subjects for Informatics Engineering Students

Abstract

The research aimed to develop Android-based teaching material to improve the understanding of Software Engineering of Informatics Engineering students whose validity and effectiveness are measured. The method used in this paper is Research and Development (R&D) with the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) model which is used to develop An-droid-based teaching material. The validity of teaching material product has con-firmed by media experts and material experts in their fields. The effectiveness of the product was measured through the post-test only control group design with two groups of Informatics Engineering students in Higher Education involving 57 people. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires and tests, with descriptive analysis for the results of the validation of teaching material and pilot tests and t-tests for testing the effectiveness of teaching material. The results showed that Android-based teaching material is easy to use and has video tutorial features and quiz menus that provide direct feedback to users, so teaching materi-al can be applied as a valid and effective learning media in increasing student un-derstanding of Software Engineering material which has never been applied in the research location so far. Based on the results obtained, further research can be carried out on a broader subject and pay attention to other aspects such as increasing motivation and metacognitive students of Informatics Engineering.

Construction of a Web Game for the Teaching-Learning Process of Electronics during the COVID-19 Pandemic

“…Today, the design, construction, and implementation of technological applications has enabled the improvement and updating of the teaching-learning process for software engineering (Sasmito et al, 2021), computer science (Salas-Rueda & Salas-Silis, 2018), language learning (Suryanto et al, 2020;Watomakin et al, 2020), and financial mathematics (Salas-Rueda, 2020).…”

“…In a software engineering course, Sasmito et al (2021) developed a mobile application in order to increase the academic performance and motivation of the students through the use of audiovisual content, tutorials, and online questionnaires. The developed technological Salas-Rueda, Alvarado-Zamorano and Ramírez-Ortega | 132 tool helped to facilitate the assimilation of the students' knowledge about the lifecycle and requirements of software development (Sasmito et al, 2021).…”

“… Hypothesis 3 (H3): The color of the web game positively influences the assimilation of knowledge in the field of electronics. The design and construction of technological applications can help facilitate the creation of new educational spaces where students develop their skills and increase their motivation (Sasmito et al, 2021;Watomakin et al, 2020). Therefore, the hypotheses on the use of DGE version 3.0 and the development of skills are as follows:…”

“…Figure 2. Model on usage of DGE version 3.0 Various authors (e.g.,Sasmito et al, 2021;Watomakin et al, 2020) mentioned that the design and construction of web applications can facilitate the assimilation of knowledge both inside and outside of the classroom environment. Therefore, the hypotheses established with regards to the use of DGE version 3.0 and the assimilation of knowledge are as follows: Hypothesis 1 (H1): The interface of the web game positively influences the assimilation of knowledge in the field of electronics.…”

Effectiveness of chain whispering learning method assisted by online chat messaging

“…Based on the results of previous research, it is known that the spirit of learning is influenced by motivation [17]- [19]. Motivation is the tendency and intention to guide one's behavior to achieve goals [20], [21] with a pervasive tendency to perform tasks successfully [22], [23].…”
