A Study of the Learning Achievement results of Active Learning on Mobile Application in Mathematics Subject: Case Study of MTTS Math Application of Military Technical Training

Abstract

This research aimed 1) to develop active learning media on Mobile applications for math subjects of the Military Technical Training students called the MTTS math application. 2) to compare the academic achievement in math subjects of the Military Technical Training students between learning in the classroom and the MTTS math application, and 3) to evaluate the efficiency of the MTTS math application. The research design was quantitative research. The sample consisted of 30 Military Technical Training students studying math subjects, which were divided into 2 groups: A group studied in the classroom (15 students), and a group studied actively on Mobile Applications (15 students). The research instrument used for data collection was the Mobile Application. Academic achievement was compared between the groups and the questionnaire was collected from math teachers to ask about their satisfaction with using mobile applications. It was found that the academic achievement in mathematics of the first-year military vocational students who learned actively on the Mobile Application had a higher average score than learning in the classroom. The t-test value was found to be greater than 1.76, which is statistically significant at the 0.05 level, indicating that active learning on the MTTS math application) has different achievements from learning mathematics in the classroom. The overall satisfaction with the application's use was found to be \bar{x} = 4.52 S.D. = 0.69, with the satisfaction evaluation results having the highest average value.
