Abstract—The integration of technology in learning is one of the popular issues today which is an alternative to solve the problems experienced in the difficulty of achieving maximum learning goals for students. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the application of mobile assessment in learning activities in elementary schools. This research is a quantitative study using descriptive type. The respondents of this study were elementary school students who were at the fifth-grade level. Data were collected through learning outcomes tests using mobile assessment technology. The data analysis technique used is trend analysis. Research findings indicate that there is a positive trend in student learning outcomes when using mobile assessments in learning activities. Based on the model fit, the findings show that the Quadratic Trend Model is the best model with the smallest measurement error. Index Terms—Learning outcomes, mobile assessment, trend analysis. I. INTRODUCTION The development of science and technology has an impact on various aspects of human life. One aspect that must adjust to these developments is the education aspect. The learning process at this time must be done with the integration of technology to keep up with the times [1]. Digital technology innovation is an effort made to improve the quality of learning in the classroom [2], [3]. Technology is very much needed in learning activities and its presence is very useful for the success of learning activities [4]–[6]. Learning activities and technology integration are two things that are currently interrelated and will not be separated. Since post-pandemic learning has been accustomed to being integrated with technology [7]–[10]. Currently, the modification of online learning has become a familiar thing both by teachers and by students [11], [12]. Therefore, making various modifications to the use of technology in learning activities is no longer a difficult thing for both teachers and students. One of the efforts to integrate technology in learning is the use of mobile facilities. Through mobile assistance, teachers make it possible to take advantage of various application media sources that allow students to learn more easily and achieve the expected learning goals [13]. Mobile learning is one of the new innovations in learning. As a new technology, the presence of mobile learning provides opportunities for Manuscript received April 20, 2022; revised June 16, 2022.

One part of mobile learning is mobile assessment. Because learning activities are integrated with mobile technology, the assessment should also be integrated with mobile technology. The results of previous research found that mobile assessment can have a significant effect on students' motivation when participating in online learning activities [15]. This shows that there is a great benefit to the use of mobile assessments for the success of learning activities. Since the pandemic, distance learning is another way of presenting learning that is different from usual in the field [16]. This forces teachers to integrate technology dominantly in learning activities. Since then, teachers have started to use mobile technology in teaching their students. This is the urgency of this study. The need for a more in-depth analysis of how this mobile technology can be maximized in learning activities. This study focuses on the use of mobile assessment to improve student learning outcomes in elementary schools. Learning assessment is arranged in a mobile application model to be given to students in the hope of improving their learning outcomes. Although this is not the first study to examine mobile assessment in learning, the novelty of this study focuses on a more in-depth analysis of trends (through repeated measurement) of student achievement with the help of mobile assessment. This is different from previous studies that looked at the effectiveness of mobile assessments only once measured and once observed. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the trend of improving student learning outcomes when implementing mobile assessments in learning activities. This study is expected to be a model for measuring and predicting student learning outcomes by implementing mobile assessments in future learning. II. LITERATURE REVIEW A. Mobile Learning Mobile learning is a learning strategy with the help of mobile technology to support distance learning systems and reduce educational boundaries [17]. Mobile learning is a new paradigm of education that can be adopted in the implementation of education in elementary schools [18]. This is different from traditional e-learning even mobile technology is much cheaper than personal computers. In addition, mobile learning also allows students to learn in different places [19], [20]. Specifically, this study focuses on the application of mobile assessment in learning.
