Building Motivation and Improving Learning Outcomes with Android-based physics books: Education 4.0

Abstract

This study aims to examine student’s responses to the 4.0 learning era that cannot be separated from interaction technology related to retrieval, collection, processing, storage, distribution and presentation of information through the use of android gadget devices so that they are considered optimal in the educational angle. The method used is a triangulation method that combines two methods in one study to ensure authentic data through question tests, boarders and field observations. This study involved 72 junior high school students in 1 kawali. From the N-gain data table, the table showed average of the experimental class is 0.70 and High category, while the N-gain average of the control class is 0.26 and is in the medium category. That is, student learning outcomes after using teaching materials have experienced a very high increase compared to previous learning outcomes. Where these results suggest that an Android-based digital book can trigger an interactive and independent learning environment among students and students and teachers, because students' learning enthusiasm tends to be high. So that the target of learning can be delivered thoroughly. The limitations in subsequent research may be developed.
