Abstract

Technological developments in this era are experiencing rapid progress. The android-based application is nowadays used to engage students’ understanding of science learning. At this moment, we propose a new android learning application, named “E-Layer”, interactive multimedia for learning science. This application discusses physical material on the topic of the earth layer. This application is dynamically designed and equipped using Unity software with various supporting features, such as images, videos, sounds, and multi-language animation settings. The results showed that based on content expert evaluations, the average mobile learning score was 96%, language evaluation based on experts was 82.50%, and media design (IT) rated an average of 87.93% from the range 88.81%. As well as based reviews from science teachers and junior high school students the percentage of mobile learning applications is 90.55% and 92.50. This Android mobile application is very suitable for use as a learning application.
