ABSTRACT
This article analyzes the effectiveness of Android-based and computer-based learning media to enhance the cooking skills of 5- to 6-year-old students. The research used a quasi-experimental (before–after) approach and two-group pretest–posttest design and employed qualitative analysis for qualitative data and quantitative inference (t-test) for quantitative data. The result of a paired sample test generated p = 0.000 > α (0.05), signifying that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. This is to say, a significant difference in the average score of 5- to 6-year-old children’s cooking skills resulted from Android-based and computer-based learning media. In value range and criteria, the implementation of Android-based media resulted in a 3.6 average score, while the implementation of computer-based learning media resulted in a 3.4 average score. Both were categorized into “Very Well Developed” criteria. Therefore, the implementation of Android-based or computer-based learning media is similarly effective to improve children’s cooking skills.
