Abstract
This study aims to develop an Android-based application in learning Batik to
improve spatial intelligence of students in Indonesia. Along with the application
development, pre-test and post-test are also administered to see whether
students’ spatial intelligence improves or not. The results show that the
application is user-friendly since almost all students have Android-based
smartphones so that they have no problems in using the application. They
already understand that to use the App, the first thing they have to do is login
with matching using usernames and passwords. Camera will be automatically
activated once the login is successful. 2D and 3D objects will be reflected into
Batik patterns by this App; however, if the object is only in a 2D form, the
pattern will be unidentified. Considering those results, it can be concluded that
the application is such a user-friendly learning medium for the students. The
application also contributes to the learning process to become more interactive
so that it is no longer teacher-centered.
