Abstract
This study applied Research and Development (R&D) method for developing a mobile
learning media for teaching static fluid material, namely "Asmeralda" (Aplikasi Mobile
Learning Fisika Fluida). This study aims to assess the feasibility of "Asmeralda"
implemented in Physics class. In developing "Asmeralda", this study follows the ADDIE
steps: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The data collection
used questionaries and interviews. The participants in this study consist of expert lecturers
and senior high school students in Surabaya. The results show a positive response towards
"Asmeralda" as mobile-based learning media for teaching static fluid. The average
feasibility assessment according to expert lecturers as media validators: the material is 91%
very feasible, the media is 92.8% very feasible, and the assessment is 91.7% very feasible.
The media, according to students, is 92% feasible, 94% practical, and 90% effective. Based
on these results, it can be concluded that the mobile-based learning media "Asmeralda" is
feasible for teaching static fluid material at Senior High School. However, this conclusion
is based on one case in one school in Surabaya. Further study in implementing Asmeralda
and mobile learning is crucial for a better strategy in developing media-based computer
information.

INTRODUCTION
The development of science and
technology requires improving the quality
of education by utilizing current
technology to be realized in the teaching
and learning process. Some important
concepts in science are difficult to explain
verbally, so using media is needed to
make them manifest in visual form so that
it is easier to understand (Korganci et al.,
2015).
According to Thinley (2014),
nowadays, technology in schools is used
to improve effective and better learning
processes. Teachers are required to have
the expertise to innovate in education, and
one of the innovations in education is
learning media development (Neo
Palelupu & Cholik, 2014).
According to Kristanto (2016),
learning media are all things that can send
messages and make students' thoughts
and feelings interested in learning so they
can achieve learning goals. Learning
media is an essential component of
learning resources because the influence
of learning media can determine
educational success. Learning media in
