Abstract

This research is motivated by Student’s interest in smartphone. The use of smartphones in learning science becomes a solution in the learning process. Where the science learning process aims to develop critical thinking skills through mobile learning media. This research aims to develop products in the form of science learning materials based on mobile learning (android). The method used is research and development (R&D). Data is collected by means of data collection, planning, product development, validation and trial stages. The study was conducted at three Elementary Schools in West Jakarta, namely SDN Sukabumi Utara 07, SDN Sukabumi Utara 08 and SDN Sukabumi Utara 09. The objects developed were science applications based on android applications in fifth grade Elementary Schools. The first trial results from three schools are test results according to Student responses resulting in 90.8% which means the clarity of the material, the ability to motivate, attractiveness, and ease of use of teaching materials are appropriate for Students to use. The second trial result is the test of science subjects getting 83.3% which shows the level of validity of teaching materials is very good. The conclusion is that android-based science teaching materials are appropriate to be used and applied.
