Penerapan Metode Waterfall Pada Aplikasi Multimedia Interaktif Pengenalan Huruf Hijaiyah Berbasis Android Pada Paud Nabata

Abstrak

Smartphone technology can not only be used by adults, but even early childhood deserves to be introduced to smartphone technology. Children's education at an early age is needed because at that stage the learning system will affect the behavior and thinking patterns of children. PAUD Nabata in terms of learning to introduce hijaiyah letters still uses media such as books, blackboards, posters. With this learning is less interesting and children get bored easily. The purpose of this study is to produce an android-based hijaiyah letter recognition application using the waterfall method which can be used as a new learning medium in Nabata PAUD, so that children are more enthusiastic in learning to recognize hijaiyah letters and do not get bored quickly. In this study, the authors make a learning application that contains basic knowledge about the hijaiyah letters accompanied by the sound of their pronunciation, and reading descriptions according to their pronunciation. The test results have been tested by 1 material expert, 1 media expert, and 30 respondent questionnaires that have been distributed and produced, from 100% media experts, 100% material experts, and 88.2% questionnaire respondents. The conclusion from testing the Hijaiyah Letter Learning application can be said to be very feasible.
