Implementation of Android-Based Hair Color Media in the Double Application Hair Coloring Instruction

Introduction

Implementation of android-based hair color media in the double application hair coloring instruction. Boost hair coloring competency with an Android-based learning media. This study proves its feasibility, practicality, and effectiveness for double application hair coloring, enhancing student cognitive abilities.

Abstract

The issue addressed in this research is the low competency of students in understanding the material of double application hair coloring, with approximately 70% of students achieving learning outcomes below the established competency standard. Therefore, a more user-friendly, engaging, and easily understandable hair color media is needed for students in its application. This study aims to: Develop Android-Based Hair Color Media as a learning tool that meets the criteria for an effective learning medium, Analyze the feasibility of the Android-Based Hair Color Media based on assessments from media and content validators, Analyze the practicality of the Android-Based Hair Color Media based on feedback from students and peers (teachers), and analyze the effectiveness of the Android-Based Hair Color Media in improving cognitive abilities. This is a development research (R&D) study. The development model used is the ADDIE model. The results show that: The design of the Android-based hair color media meets the requirements, The Android-based hair color media is feasible to be used as a learning tool, The Android-based hair color media is practical for use in teaching, and The Android-based hair color media is effective in enhancing cognitive abilities, as evidenced by the improved learning outcomes. The conclusion of this study is that the developed hair color media design meets the criteria, is feasible, practical, and effective in improving cognitive skills. The benefit of this research is that the Android-based hair color media is feasible, practical, and effective in enhancing cognitive abilities.

Review

This research addresses a pertinent educational challenge: the persistent low competency of students in mastering the intricate process of double application hair coloring. The proposed solution, an Android-based hair color media, aims to provide a more engaging, user-friendly, and accessible learning tool. The study's objectives are clearly articulated, spanning the development of the media, assessment of its feasibility by experts, evaluation of its practicality by students and peers, and analysis of its effectiveness in enhancing cognitive abilities and improving learning outcomes. The use of a systematic Research & Development (R&D) methodology, specifically the ADDIE model, provides a structured framework for the development process, which is a significant strength. The abstract reports uniformly positive findings: the media design meets requirements, and the developed Android application is deemed feasible, practical, and effective. While these conclusions are encouraging, an expert review would ideally seek more granular detail to fully substantiate these claims. For instance, the abstract mentions "assessments from media and content validators" for feasibility and "feedback from students and peers" for practicality, but it lacks specific quantitative or qualitative metrics that define "meets requirements," "feasible," or "practical." Similarly, the statement regarding effectiveness, "evidenced by the improved learning outcomes," warrants further elaboration on the specific nature of these improvements, the assessment methods used, and the magnitude or statistical significance of the gains in cognitive abilities. Despite the call for greater empirical detail, the potential implications of this work are noteworthy. The development of an accessible, mobile-based learning medium could significantly enhance student engagement and understanding in vocational training, particularly for subjects that benefit from visual and interactive instruction. A full manuscript should elaborate on how "improved cognitive abilities" directly translate into enhanced practical application skills, which are paramount in hair coloring. Future work could also explore the long-term retention of knowledge and skills, user adoption rates, and the scalability of such a digital tool. Overall, this research presents a promising step towards leveraging technology to bridge competency gaps in specialized vocational education.
