摘要：This study produced an Android-assisted mobile physics-learning program to
increase high school students’ abilities in creative thinking and problem solving.
The learning materials were based on local batik-making culture and included
physics material on heat. The Research and Development (R & D) method was
based on the 4D model-define, design, develop, and disseminate-with a
experimental and control groups pretest-posttest design. For the operational fieldtesting,
the participants were 60 students. The non-test research instruments
included product and material validations, and the test instruments included preand
post-tests. The data analysis techniques included descriptive statistics, N-Gain
analysis, Hotelling’s Trace multivariate statistical test, and analysis of effect size.
The results showed that Android-assisted mobile physics learning, supported by
local batik culture, is feasible for high school physics learning. Furthermore, based
on the assessment by experts, teachers, and their peers, it lies in the “very good”
category. The program was significantly effective in improving students’ creativethinking
and problem-solving abilities based on gain scores of 0.81 and 0.96 in the
“high” category and on effect-size analysis with scores of 0.268 and 0.269,
interpreted as “large” effect sizes.
