Android-based applications on teaching skills based on TPACK analysis

Abstract

Abstract Teaching skills learned in micro-teaching are important competencies in the learning management. Dependence of other parties, both lecturers and colleagues teaching during the assessment process of teaching practice and lack of media that integrates the concept of material, examples, and practices are obstacles in mastering teaching skills. This article describes the specifications needed of an Android-based learning tool (media) for microteaching (“Microteaching”) courses and analyzes the performance of these learning media. The development phase begins with Analysis, Design, Development, and Evaluation. The results of the analysis referring to TPACK and the design showed that the specifications of the Android-based media consisted of two main menus namely material (containing various multimedia elements) and assessment (besides text-based assessment also contained speech recognition elements). The performance of “Microteaching” in functionality is 100% successful, while the feasibility test at the evaluation stage not only for media experts, but material experts and users indicates that the media is suitable for use. Furthermore, results of the assessment show that the media is able to depend on the assessment, except from the aspect of verbal aspects. Integration of learning concept material through mind maps, technical examples related to verbal teaching skills and videos to provide concrete description of how to teach (both verbal and non-verbal).
