Students learning a defined subject only perform by learning of thinking based on the concepts forming that subjects. Otherwise, students may move away from the scientific meaning of concepts and may fall into conceptual errors. Students' conceptual errors affect their following learning and cause them resist change. It is possible to prevent this…

The research aimed to produce an Android-based learning media with local cultural content in the form of the othok-othok toy ship to improve the competence of diagrammatic and argumentative representation in Physics. 4D methods were used with a control and an experimental class in the first grade of a Senior High School. The learning media…
