Development of The Android-Based Interactive Physics Mobile Learning Media (IPMLM) to Improve Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) of Senior High School Students. (December 2019) - Elvi Dasilva, Beatrix
Abstract: This study aims to find out: 1) generating useful android aplication IPMLM in termodynamic material on physics, 2) examining the impact of IPMLM toward students' higher order thinking skill (HOTS). In order to find out the answer, the researcher used research and development method in 4-D model (defining, designing, developing and disseminating). The IPMLM application was assessed by media experts and physics expert. The limited test stage was conducted in SMAN 1 Kota Kupang with 32 students of 11th grade science program. Subjects were chosen by purposive sampling technique. The extensive test stage was conducted in SMAN 2 Kota Kupang, SMAN 3 Kota Kupang and SMAN 5 Kota Kupang with 210 students of 11th grade science program. Subjects were chosen by purposive sampling technique. The research design of extensive test was pretest-posttest control group design. Data collection was done by questionnaire and test. Instrument test to measure students' HOTS instrument was reasoning multiple choice questions. The result shows that 1) the IPMLM application was eligible to be used in physics learning about thermodynamics, 2) using IPMLM in physics learning increased effectively the capability on HOTS aspect.
