The Significance of Mobile Applications Based Learning in Creating Awareness of Occupational Health and Safety
Abstract
ntroduction: In this study, "We aim to develop and assess the effectiveness of mobile applications to raise students' awareness about occupational health and safety. This is in response to the low awareness among students in Surakarta, which has the potential to increase the risk of danger and diminish their ability to compete in the workforce. The mobile application's development is intended to address these issues".
Methods: This research method uses a type of research and development that adopts the theory from Alessi & Trollip, with 3 main stages: planning, design, and development. There were 120 research samples taken from vocational high schools in Surakarta. Data was taken through observation and interviews. Product validation also involves media experts, material experts, and practitioners in the field of Occupational Health and Safety.
Results: The research results indicate that the developed media has received high ratings from both experts and users, placing it in the "very good" category. Statistical analysis also reveals that the use of mobile applications has a significance level of 0.000<0.05, suggesting that mobile applications have an impact on the tested samples. Furthermore, there is evidence of increased awareness of occupational health and safety, as evidenced by a control class score of 75.68 and an experimental class score of 86.73.
Conclusion: These results indicate that the developed media is more effective than conventional learning and can increase awareness of the importance of occupational health and safety among students. The study suggests the need for teacher training in utilizing this application and recommends further development of the application on a larger scale, along with the creation of diverse teaching materials.
