Quasi- experimental research with post-test-only group design method. The design used two experimental groups with a purposive or judgment sampling method considering the average class value. X.2 Social Science group (14 boys and 20 girls), X.3 Social Science group (17 boys and 17 girls), and X.4 Social Science (17 boys and 17 girls). The subjects of this study were first-year high school students in the even semester of the 2021/2022 academic year. Hypothesis testing using independent sample t-test to determine the effect of M-VGFT media on the ability of students' Complex Problem Solving and Spatial Intelligence in the subject of Geography on Volcanism. The results showed a significant influence between M-VGFT media on students' Complex Problem Solving Ability and Spatial Intelligence in Madrasah Aliah Negeri Baru. However, there are differences in the influence between male and female students on the two variables. Keywords—mobile technology, mobile virtual field trip, complex problem solving, spatial intelligence 1 Introduction 1.1 Background The development of mobile technology influences the use of learning media. Technology can simplify and facilitate the learning process of materials that require a more profound explanation [1], [2]. Mobile technology plays an essential role in students' social, emotional, and academic lives [3]. Tools in mobile technology that support students to be more productive and creative in generating ideas and solutions to the problems presented. Technological capacity improves the way of learning, interacting, and collaborating on the material in the learning. Materials considered difficult become easy if technology integration is applied in technology-based learning media [4]. iJIM ‒ Vol. 16, No. 24, 2022 21
