Abstract

The appropriate use of learning media can make the learning process more engaging, yet the use of learning media in Islamic Religious Education and Character Education is still limited and tends to rely on lecture methods, a teacher-centered approach, and Student Worksheets, resulting in low student participation and lack of variation in learning activities. In addition, the rapid development of technology has not been optimally utilized to support learning. Therefore, this study aimed to: (1) describe the development process of the Android-based Adabiya mobile learning application as a learning media for Islamic Religious Education and Character Education on the topic Adab of Using Social Media for 11^th grade students of SMK PGRI 1 Ponorogo, (2) describe the feasibility of the application, and (3) describe students’ responses toward its use. This study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The validation results showed scores of 96% from material experts and 95.2% from media experts, while students’ responses reached 90.4%. These findings indicate that the Adabiya mobile learning application is highly feasible as a learning medium.
