Development of Android Physics Applications (APA) as learning media on dynamic fluid concepts

Abstract

Android is one of the learning media based on 21st-century learning styles. Android is open source and provides opportunities for users to develop other application features as needed. This study aims to create Android-based physics learning media using the Smart App Creator on Dynamic Fluid material. Media is developed using the methods of research and development R&D (Research and Development) Model FODEM (Formative Development Method) consisting of Need Analysis (NE), Implementation (I), and Formative Evaluation (FE). The results of the validity of the Android Physics Applications (APA) media obtained an average score of 83% in the very feasible category, while the results of the limited trial of students obtained an average score of 82.1% with the very good category. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the Android Physics Applications (APA) media can be used as a learning medium in the classroom. The development of Android-based Physics Applications is expected to be an alternative for educational institutions or educators to develop learning media that use multimedia.
