Kata kunci: mobile learning, anak berkebutuhan khusus, kemampuan fokus, motorik halus.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk (1) Menghasilkan media mobile learning berbasis android (Aku Hebat) yang layak untuk anak berkebutuhan khusus dalam meningkatkan kemampuan focus dan kemampuan motorik halus. (2) Menghasilkan media mobile learning berbasis android (Aku Hebat) yang efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan focus anak berkebutuhan khusus. (3) Menghasilkan media mobile learning berbasis android (Aku Hebat) yang efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan motorik halus.

Penelitian ini dilakukan di Yayasan Peduli Cerebral Palsy Surabaya dengan subyek penelitian adalah anak berkebutuhan khusus (autism) yang berjumlah 5 anak berkebutuhan khusus. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian pengembangan dengan menggunakan model ADDIE. Indikator kemampuan fokus untuk anak berkebutuhan khusus ada 6 indikator yaitu perhatian terpusat, antusias dalam belajar, tenang dalam belajar, mengemukakan ide, aktif saat proses belajar mengajar, dan daya serap baik saat pelajaran. Kemudian untuk indikator kemampuan motorik halus ada 4 indikator yaitu pengunaan tangan dan jari, koordinasi mata-tangan, kemandirian dalam kegiatan sehari-hari, manipulasi objek kecil. Hasil penelitian ini dihitung menggunakan N-Gain kemudian menggunakan analisis uji t.

Hasil uji hipotesis penelitian ini: (1) Mobile learning berbasis android (Aku Hebat) layak digunakan dalam meningkatkan kemampuan fokus dan kemampuan motorik halus untuk anak berkebutuhan khusus. (2) Mobile learning berbasis android (Aku Hebat) efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan fokus anak berkebutuhan khusus di Yayasan Peduli Cerebral Palsy Surabaya. (3) Mobile learning berbasis android (Aku Hebat) efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan motorik halus di Yayasan Peduli Cerebral Palsy Surabaya.  Disarankan bagi terapis dapat menggunakan Mobile learning berbasis android (Aku Hebat) sebagai salah satu sumber belajar dalam meningkatkan kemampuan fokus dan kemampuan motorik halus anak berkebutuhan khusus di Yayasan Peduli Cerebral Palsy Surabaya.

ABSTRACT

Arridho Ajitama, Abidin. 2024. Development of Android-Based Mobile Learning (Aku Hebat) to Improve Focus Ability and Fine Motor Skills for Children with Special Needs. Thesis, Educational Technology Study Program, Faculty of Education, Universitas Negeri Surabaya. Advisors: (1) Prof. Dr. Yatim Riyanto, M.Pd. and (II) Dr. H. Andi Mariono, M.Pd.

Keywords: Mobile Learning, Children with Special Needs, Focus Ability, Fine Motor Skills.

This study aims to (1) Develop an Android-based mobile learning media (Aku Hebat) that is suitable for children with special needs to improve their focus ability and fine motor skills. (2) Develop an Android-based mobile learning media (Aku Hebat) that is effective in improving the focus ability of children with special needs. (3) Develop an Android-based mobile learning media (Aku Hebat) that is effective in improving fine motor skills.

The research was conducted at the Yayasan Peduli Cerebral Palsy Surabaya with subjects consisting of five children with special needs (autism). This study is a developmental research using the ADDIE model. The indicators of focus ability for children with special needs include six indicators: focused attention, enthusiasm for learning, calmness during learning, expressing ideas, active participation in the learning process, and good comprehension during lessons. Meanwhile, the indicators for fine motor skills include four indicators: the use of hands and fingers, eye-hand coordination, independence in daily activities, and manipulation of small objects. The results of this study were calculated using N-Gain and then analyzed using t-test.

The hypothesis testing results of this study are: (1) The Android-based mobile learning (Aku Hebat) is suitable for improving focus ability and fine motor skills for children with special needs. (2) The Android-based mobile learning (Aku Hebat) is effective in improving the focus ability of children with special needs at the Yayasan Peduli Cerebral Palsy Surabaya. (3) The Android-based mobile learning (Aku Hebat) is effective in improving fine motor skills at the Yayasan Peduli Cerebral Palsy Surabaya. It is recommended for therapists to use the Android-based mobile learning (Aku Hebat) as a learning resource to enhance the focus ability and fine motor skills of children with special needs at the Yayasan Peduli Cerebral Palsy Surabaya.
