Android-Based Technology: Development of Game-Based Learning Media Based on the Results of Analysis of Arithmetic Learning Difficulties

Abstract

This research aims to develop educational games and learning media using Android-based technology on arithmetic material for children with barriers to learning mathematics. The research method used in this research is design-based research (DBR) to obtain comprehensive information regarding the analysis of learning difficulties experienced by students and the development of game-based learning media. The subject in this research was a child with learning disabilities in arithmetic material. The result of this research is the development of educational games and learning media using Android-based technology on arithmetic material for children with learning disabilities. The content contained in educational games and learning media has been adapted to the needs of children who have learning obstacles in arithmetic material. Material that is tailored to the needs will be very appropriate for the learning development of children with learning disabilities in arithmetic material. The results of this research showed that educational games media using Android-based technology can increase learning needs for material in arithmetic. Apart from being useful for children with learning disabilities, it is hoped that this educational game learning media can also be used for other children who are studying mathematics using arithmetic material.
