Description
Summary:This research aims to develop an Android Package Kit (APK) to improve college students' mathematical critical thinking skills. The APK developed does not only contain a summary of the material and evaluation questions, but also contains contextual animation, education games, appropriate reference links for supplements and college student enrichment, and online discussion groups in which some teachers can provide feedback to discuss or lead the course of discussion in study groups. This research belongs to development research refers to ADDIE. In the analysis, the design and development stage conducts several activities to prepare the design and APK devices until the revision. At the implementation and evaluation stage, the effectiveness of learning using APKs was seen using a quasi-experimental research design with pre-test post-test control group design. This study found a feature that is different from other similar applications, the "join" and "search" features. Based on testing from media experts and material experts, it shows that the design and APK devices are learning media that are suitable for use by students, as well as the average of critical thinking skills the experimental class is better than the control class.
