Simulation Laboratory Model Integrated With Smartphone As a Complement of Real Lab For Vocational School Students

Abstract: The existence of a smartphone (HP) has a special phenomenon for education especially for students. Presence that offers sophistication to be able to access all information across the world with a very fast, easy and inexpensive. Communication tools on smartphones is now not a luxury, and almost have the bulk of vocational students. Fact the field after observation found that many high school / vocational school equipment and materials that have very minimal practice, there are even schools that do not have laboratory space, so that the lab is not running optimally. Hope students are gaining the knowledge and experience of learning outcomes, while the teacher's expectations are practical learning process toward the achievement of cognitive changes, psychomotor, and ultimately change the character of students. This research is the development research in which design is selected development using multimedia development model. Because the primary response generated in the form of a software research, then in the process of media development will be equipped with software development method using the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) with Waterfall - based model. Laboratory simulation models integrated into samartphone in this case using a blackberry Z10 can be used by students as a means of practice activities with animation and interactive simulations, thus through this medium may indirectly be a complement to the real laboratory
