Mobile learning in promoting student's engagement

Abstract

Students engagement is an important element in learning. Mobile learning is a learning media that can't facilitate student's engagement. The purpose in this study is to measure student's engagement in problem solving behavior abilities; explanation; and analysis using mobile learning. In this research we used a qualitative research method with a case study approach combined with a literature study. Library studies are needed before or together with case study with the intention that when observers encounter difficulties in the field, they can refer to the theories that have been studied. Or you can compare truth from theory with real events in the field. The field survey was conducted as a first step to find out student involvement especially in 1) problem solving ability, 2) explain or re-express material in the student's language style, 3) analyze material. With field surveys, we will get a clear picture of how the learning simulation uses the student's involvement. The engagement of students shows a sufficient tendency to solve problem, explain learning material and analyze.
