Abstract—Opportunities for innovation in leveraging mobile devices for learning and integrating them with diverse learning methodologies are emerging due to the rising prevalence of mobile device usage among students, so this research investigates the practicality of mobile-based learning using a project-based learning approach in the context of electric motor installations which aims to increase student learning motivation. This research aims to examine the impact of an integrated approach on student’s practical skills and motivation in electric motor installation education. The research methodology used in this research adopts a Research and Development (R&D) framework with a 4D model, which includes the define, design, develop, and disseminate stages. In this study, we carefully designed the app navigation, user interface, and mobile functionality, followed by validation, practical testing, and assessment of student motivation. Validation assessments are carried out by education and technology experts. Practicality assessment is carried out by user testing. A motivation assessment is carried out using a motivation questionnaire. The research results confirm that mobile-based learning with a project-based learning approach in learning electric motor installation meets the criteria for validity and practicality in all aspects. In addition, this integrated approach has proven to be very effective in increasing student learning motivation. Based on research findings, this integrated approach provides benefits in the form of ease of collaboration, access to material, interaction, more interactive visualization, efficiency of learning time, and self-evaluation. However, the integrated approach currently being developed is not yet integrated with Artificial Intelligence (AI), so there is still a great opportunity for further research in its integration with education.
Keywords—mobile-based learning, project-based learning, electric motor installation, student motivation, research and development
