The Effect of Android-Based Learning Media on Student Cognitive Levels in Sports Physiology

In the current of education research, android-based learning media has been popular and becomes a trend. In Sports Physiology learning process, students have difficulty in acquiring the knowledge since it contains very complex materials. In addition, conventional learning method also becomes one of the factors in influencing the students’ difficulty and boredom in the learning process in classroom. This study aimed to determine and prove the use of android-based learning media on influencing students’ cognitive level in learning Sports Physiology. The instrument used in this study was a questionnare. This research is a quasi-experiment, the research design used a pretest-posttest control group design. The subjects of this study were 60 students consisted of a control class and an experimental class, which belong to sports coaching education students at University of Jambi. In order to measure the students cognitive level in learning, then an analysis for the students’ results was conducted. The results showed that the use of Android-based learning media had a significant influence on the students’ cognitive level in the learning process, the average score of the experimental class is higher than the control classes.
