Abstract—This study aims to find out know the
effectiveness of learning using android-based IPMLM to
improve psychomotor and self-efficacy of high school
students. The research design uses Pretest-Posttest
Control Group Design. The research subjects were 185
students of Class X MIPA from SMA N 1 Pakem,
SMAN 2 Sleman, and MAN 3 Sleman and 210 students
from class XI MIPA from SMAN 2 Kupang, SMAN 5
Kupang and SMAN 5 Kupang. Each school was taken
two classes, namely the experimental class and the
control class. Data collection instruments were self-
efficacy questionnaires and psychomotor observation
sheets checklist. Data were analyzed using descriptive
statistics and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistical
analysis was used to know the achievement of students'
psychomotor and self-efficacy. The results showed that
learning using Android-based IPMLM can improve
students’ psychomotor and self-efficacy. Psychomotor
skills increased by 46.6% through learning using
Android-based IPMLM. Meanwhile, the effective
contribution of Android-based IPMLM to self-efficacy
was 53%.
Keywords: android based-IPMLM, psychomotor, self-
efficacy
I. INTRODUCTION
The demands of the 21st century require that every
individual can utilize and be familiar with technology,
including in education. One of its implications is the
use of technology-based media as a support for
learning activities. The integration of technology in
learning is expected to be a tool of achieving 21st
century skills, such as critical thinking, problem
solving, communication, and collaboration. The
curriculum in Indonesia has tried to answer these
demands. It is indicated by the necessity of mastering
competence, which not only focuses on the cognitive
domain, but also affective and psychomotor, including
in Physics subjects [1]. This is in line with Mundilarto
that one of form of Physics learning outcomes can be
categorized into competencies in the form of behavior,
namely cognitive, affective, and psychomotor [2].
Psychomotor skills are skills that require integration of
motor skills that related to knowledge and values with
require practice to master it [3]. Subjects related to
psychomotor skills tend to aim at movement and focus
on physical responses and hand dexterity. These skills
indicate the level of proficiency in doing the task [4].
The example of psychomotor skills in physics is using
tools such as calipers, stopwatches, and others.
Trowbridge and Bybee suggest that psychomotor
aspects that can be assessed in Physics include
moving, manipulating, communicating, and creating
[5]. The moving aspect refers to a number of limb
movements which implies coordination of physical
movements. Manipulating refers to activities that
encompass coordinated patterns of movements that
connect parts of the body, for example coordination
between the eyes, ears, hands, and fingers.
Communicating refers to understanding activities that
provide ideas and feelings for others to know.
Meanwhile, creating refers to the process and
performance that generated by the results of new
thinking.
Beside the psychomotor domain, student’s self-
efficacy is also important in physics learning. Self-
efficacy is very influential on achievement in
cognitive aspects. Bandura states that self-efficacy is
related to one's belief in his ability to perform an
action that is needed to achieve the goal [6]. Every
person has different self-efficacy towards an ability.
These differences can be seen through three aspects
