Development of the Android-Based Interactive Physics Mobile Learning Media (IPMLM) with Scaffolding Approach on the Sound Wave to Improve Student Learning Independence

Abstract

This study aims to: 1) produce an Android-based IPMLM application that is suitable for learning on sound wave material, 2) test the effect of IPMLM on student learning independence. This type of research is the R&D of 4-D models (defining, developing, developing, and disseminating). The application of this research uses the Scaffolding approach. Research design uses Pre-Test Post-Test Control Group. IPMLM applications are rated by media and materials experts. The limited trial stage for the readability of IPMLM media was carried out at SMAN 1 Woha class 11 IPA with a total of 30 students. The limited trial stage was carried out at SMAN 1 Woha, SMAN 1 Palibelo, SMAN 1 Belo, and SMAN 1 Bolo with a total of 320 students in class 11 of the science program. The subjects of the broad test were students of class 11 IPA from SMAN 1 Woha, SMAN 1 Palibelo and SMAN 1 Belo, each of which consisted of two classes in the experimental class and the control class. The number of students in the experimental class was 88 students and the control class was 90 students. Subjects were selected by purposive sampling technique. The broad test research design used a Pretest-Posttest Control Group. Data collection was carried out by means of a questionnaire. The results show that 1) the IPMLM application is suitable for use in learning physics about sound waves, 2) the use of IPMLM in learning physics increases student learning independence.
