Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper investigates the impact of using a mobile learning game on students’ self-regulated learning (SRL). This research study uses a research and development approach by adapting the 4D model (defined, designed, developed, and disseminated). Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics. This study explored 120 students from 2 schools in Surakarta, Indonesia. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires and interviews to see the effectiveness of the mobile learning game on SRL. This research shows that the application of the mobile learning game is quite effective as a learning medium and supports distance learning. The results indicate that the mobile learning game positively promotes SRL and has a significant increase in each indicator of SRL. The game provides a different atmosphere in learning so that students are enthusiastic when participating in learning with games. This study contributes to the concept of self-regulated studying with games.
Keywords: Games; game-based learning; mobile learning game; self-regulated learning.
