Mobile application based multimedia: a design of accounting instructional media for vocational high school (VHS)

This study aims to answer the needs of the development of instructional media in accordance with the development of technology in order to provide a direct and meaningful learning experience for accounting students in Vocational High School (VHS). The type of this research is research and development (R&D) using eleventh grade students of accounting in VHS in Indonesia as the subject of the research. Data were obtained using observation, survey, and interview techniques. The results show that technological advances and available facilities have not been used optimally in accounting learning in VHS. Though the curriculum requires the use of technology in learning that is supported by the ability of students in operating various technology-based instructional media. Surveys also show that all students have mobile phones that can be used to access information. In addition, students want practical, interesting, and fun learning through the development of appropriate instructional media. Therefore, this study want made the design of instructional media in the form of mobile application based multimedia. This media is accessible on a student's personal mobile phone designed with an eye-catching look with a blend of fun materials, simulations, and games. Thus, expected to provide the appropriate instructional media in accordance with the needs of accounting learning in VHS.
