The Effectiveness of Developing Android-Based IPA Learning Devices to Improve Students 21stCentury Skills

This research was motivated by the scientific literacy skills of PGSD UNIROW students which were still not optimal, because students have not been able to find learning resources to guide learning activities. In era of the industrial revolution 4.0, it is hoped that students will be involved in the learning process which will make them ready to compete in the global world. In general, students use Android to find learning resources from internet with low accuracy. This research uses a 4-D design: define, design, develop, and disseminate. The purpose of this research are testing effectiveness of developing android-based IPA learning devices to improve students 21st century skills. The research subjects were PGSD UNIROW students who took the Science Concept course in 2019/2020 academic year. Data analysis technique used is descriptive statistical percentage. From the test results and data analysis showed that the average critical thinking skills assessment results were 3.15; the assessment of creativity skills 3.23; the assessment of collaborative skills are 3.28 and the assessment of communication skills are 3.15, so it can be concluded that the learning devices for the Android-based Science Concept are effective in increasing student 21st century skills.
