Development of Learning Application on Intakhil Kiln and Earthenware Production

Abstract

The objectives of this research were: 1) to develop a learning application for Intakhil kiln and the production of earthenware, 2) to find efficience of the learning application, and 3) to compare learning achievement of students before and after learning via the learning application. The sample group consisted of 2 representatives from a community and 5 academics from universities who checked contents and evaluated the efficiency of the application. They were recruited by using purposive sampling. The sample group also included 30 users who were recruited by using simple random sampling. Research tools consisted of a satisfaction questionnaire and a learning achievement test. Statistics used for data analysis were percentage, mean, standard seviation, t-test, and t-score.

The result of this research was the development of the learning application for Intakhil kiln and the production of earthenware. The experts evaluated the efficiency of the learning application by using black box testing technique and the finding had a mean of 4.67, indicating the highest level of appropriateness before launching the application. A comparison between the students' learning achievement before and after learning via the application revealed that the mean score after using the application was higher than the mean score prior to using the application at a 0.05 significance level. The learning efficiency increased by 41.52% after learning via the application and the users' satisfaction achieved a mean score of 4.44, with a standard deviation of 0.66, signifying a high level of satisfaction.
