Design and Analysis of Multimedia Mobile Learning Based on Augmented Reality to Improve Achievement in Physics Learning

Abstract

The incorporation of mobile technology is necessary for physics teachers to improve students’ learning experience. Therefore, this research aimed to develop and analyze mobile learning based on Augmented Reality for physics education in Senior High School. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, which consisted of two stages. First, the use of the research and development (R&D) employing the Instructional Design Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation (ID ADDIE) Model’s, which comprised a series of steps for analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The second stage is using empirical analysis with limited classes. The validity of the learning device was assessed using an instrument that included aspects of planning, pedagogy, content, and technique. The results of the validation indicated high scores, with an average of 0.91 for planning, 0.94 for pedagogy, 0.96 for content, and 0.90 for technique, thus confirming the validity and reliability of the mobile learning approach for physics education. The empirical analysis conducted revealed a high level of reliability, with an alpha value of 0.82, which resulted in the determination that the mobile learning approach was valid and reliable for physics education. The second stage of the research was the experimental method. Two classes were randomly selected among six classes of student’s grade XI of SMA Pekanbaru, A class was designed as the experimental group, while another served as the control group which both groups consisted of 34 students which was selected based on homogeneity and normality test results. The results of the experiment indicated that multimedia mobile learning based on Augmented Reality can have a positive impact on students’ achievement in physics.
