Abstract

The research is the first research that opens up our Universe from a mobile application called Solar Walk Ads+: Explore Space to improve students’ understanding and believe in learning Solar System. The work has begun to collect the data of students’ post-test and pre-test using quasi-experiment design participated by 12 students in 7th grade of a private school in Bandung, West Java. The data was analysed based on three different concepts, the higher improvement shows in the concept of the Solar System’s effect on the phenomenon on the Earth. Meanwhile, the students’ believe effect after learning with this application resulted in the better improvement shown for the lower achiever students rather than the higher achiever students. Finally, this research recommended to held research that finds out whether the improvement is better if learning Solar System using Solar Walk Ads +: Explore Space also motivates students to learn.
