xviii ABSTRACT
Learning is an interaction process between students and teachers and source of study
in teaching learning process. The lecture method has disadvantage that the interaction to be
centered on teachers so teachers cannot know with certainty how far students understand
about the material. The material of the solar system is actually complex, to clarify the
understanding of the solar system material, need information technology support that can be
applied to this material. The researcher makes design and application as interactive learning
media in studying solar system material based on android mobile for elementary school
students.
The researcher used research and development method. Research and development
method is a kind of research method that used to produce special product, and examine the
effectiveness of the product. The system designing and developing with the process of
producing DFD, flowchart and implemented using Android Developer Tools Bundle
v21.0.1-543035 programing tools.
The result in the questionnaire assessment that has been tested in SD N 1 Singopuran,
Kartasura, Sukoharjo, Jawa Tengah can be concluded that more than 80% students and
teachers give respond strongly agree that this application can be as interesting and interactive
learning media which help the students in studying solar system material.
