标题：The Effectiveness of Physics Mobile Learning (PML) with HomboBatu theme to Improve the Ability of Diagram Representation and Critical Thinking of Senior High School Students
摘要：This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Physics Mobile Learning
(PML) with HomboBatu theme smartphone Android-Assisted to improve the
ability of diagram representation and critical thinking of students of Grade X in
senior high school. The research type used was experimental research with pretestposttest
control group design. The sampling technique selection used cluster
random sampling. The subjects were 32 students of Grade X MIPA 4, SMAN 6
Yogyakarta as control class with learning treatment of Powerpoint media and 22
students of Grade X MIPA 7, SMAN 6 Yogyakarta as experimental class with
learning treatment of PML smartphone Android-Assisted with BatuHombo theme.
Test instruments consisted of pretest and posttest. Data analysis used was analysis
of N-Gain and Hotteling’s Trace multivariate test (MANOVA). The results showed
that learning with PML-themed HomboBatu media was more effective in
increasing the representation ability of N-Gain diagrams by 0.78 in the high
category. However, there was no significant difference in N-Gain scores in the
experimental class and control class in improving critical thinking skills. This
Physics Mobile Learning can be used by students or teachers to study Indonesian
culture (Nias) for its learning media as well as for learning experiences that train
the ability of diagram representation and critical thinking.
