Humans in their lives now use technology to simplify their work, and in education who have used technology to facilitate learning activities to achieve better results (Al-Malah. Majeed, & ALRikabi, 2023. Kabariah & Adiyono, 2. achieve the goals of education, more efforts are needed in improving the quality of education in Indonesia, which is still lagging other countries. As an illustration, in terms of education, the Indonesian people are currently still underdeveloped in Asia, even in a smaller scope in Southeast Asia. In the 1970s. Malaysia still imported many teachers from Indonesia (Fibiger. Sciortino, 2. This is caused by several factors that cause the quality of education in Indonesia is still said to be low, including lacking infrastructure and supporting education, lack of competent teaching staff, lack of competent teaching staff, and many other obstacles that influence besides the factors the most important is the awareness of the importance of Interdiciplinary Journal of Education Vol. No 1 (July 2.

Batunan. Kweldju. Wulyani, & Khotimah, 2. The responsibility of educational institutions in entering the new era of globalization must prepare students to face all the challenges that change very rapidly in our society (Dewi. Efendy. Rahman, & Karim, 2023. Sholeh. Mutohar, & Sujianto, 2. So that educational institutions are required to be able to produce superior Human Resources (HR) that are able to compete in this global competition. Improving the quality and ability of students can be done easily one of them by utilizing the internet and websites as a land to access knowledge to the widest possible extent. This effort can be done through a website for each educational institution (Billett. Choy, & Salling Olesen, 2023. Le. Choy. Smith, & Billett, 2. Economics is a subject of Social Sciences which examines human behavior and actions to meet the diverse needs of life, (Bail, 2023. Savin et al. , 2. In the process of delivering economic subject matter, it emphasizes more on verbalism or the teacher in applying the learning method emphasizes on the activities of the teacher, not on student activities so that there is a buildup of information on students. Even if the teacher is able to develop teaching materials that attract studentsAo attention, it will also motivate and increase student interest in learning outcomes. Teaching material is an important component in learning. Teaching material delivered by a teacher should refer to the objectives outlined in the curriculum (Gupta & Yadav, 2023. Humaeroah. Sardi, & Ermawati, 2. In addition, teaching materials should ideally also be in accordance with local environmental conditions so that learning is more meaningful. Therefore, the teacher has the discretion to develop teaching materials that will be delivered as long as they do not deviate from the goal. Interest in learning is important in the learning process because without studentsAo interest, learning cannot be accepted by students themselves. If there is no interest from a student in a lesson, learning difficulties will arise. The presence or absence of interest in a lesson can be seen from the way the child follows the lesson, whether complete notes, pay attention to the lesson or not. An interest in learning is basically the acceptance of a relationship between oneself and something outside of oneself. The closer the relationship between yourself and something outside yourself the greater the interest. Based on observations at the MA NW Tarekat. In the learning process there are problems faced by teachers in the class, students do not dare to ask. Out of 30 students, only 10 students dared to ask questions and express their opinions. Students are lazy to write what has been delivered by the teacher in front of the class. Students are also preoccupied with talking to their peers when the teacher explains the subject matter. it is known that the teaching and learning facilities and infrastructure that are used are still incomplete such as the lack of LCDs due to limited costs owned by schools. Teaching materials are also incomplete in school libraries, especially textbooks that are used as a reference but the amount is not sufficient for all students and many students. Factors that influence problems in the learning process are students themselves, which is very influential on the lack of interest in learning. The cause of the lack of interest in learning to study economics is because economics is considered a difficult, frightening and less attractive subject so some students do not like economics. Study their textbooks, an economic material that still uses monotonous student worksheets and there are no androidInterdiciplinary Journal of Education Vol. No 1 (July 2. Copyright A 2023.

Therefore. Android-based economic teaching materials to increase student interest in learning are highly needed by participants in class X MA NW of the Tariqa on economic subjects. Researchers are motivated to do this research because there is still a lack of teaching materials that can make the process of economic learning more enjoyable. Based on the results of interviews conducted by researchers in class X MA NW of the Congregation it is known that students are interested in an attractive appearance and tend to have a lot of colors and images. In this case, the school allows students to carry cellphones in certain subjects. The regulation is applied after deliberations or internal meetings with the teacher and the head of the foundation. The reason for this regulation was made because it was seen from teaching materials or handbooks for students that were still lacking, so the problem was the strongest reason that allowed students to carry cellphones in certain subjects, one of them was in Economics. The average student has a sophisticated android mobile phone that can be used to access the internet to find material in accordance with the subject. Of the 100% of students in the NW MA Tarekat, 85% of students have an android mobile phone. As the pace of development of Information and Communication Technology, especially the presence of smartphone technology that was in great demand by students, especially at the level of high school. (Fahrurrozi. Mohzana. Murcahyanto, & Basri, 2. This certainly can be used to develop learning technology, especially for Economics subjects. It is also in accordance with Yuniati which states that Android smartphones can be used as an alternative medium or teaching material to improve studentsAo understanding of a certain material (Fahrurrozi. Mohzana. Mispandi, & Murcahyanto, 2. Multimedia-based teaching systems . echnologies that involve sound, images, and vide. can present subject matter that is more interesting, not monotonous, and facilitates delivery. Students can learn certain material independently by using a computer equipped with multimedia-based Now a lot of software has been classified as an edutainment which is a combination of education and entertainment (Adam, 2. When compared with conventional teaching, with the android software application learning faster, it can be done anytime and anywhere. Without having to wait for instructions from educators, students will be challenged to try to learn the application (Triluqman & Mulyoto, 2. With the existence of this Android-based teaching material, it is expected that learning becomes more fun, easier and motivates students to understand each material (Yaqin, 2. With fun learning, students do not feel burdened in learning and they will find out things they do not understand about Economic material just by opening an application and learning it all the time. Android is a Linux-based operating system that is designed for touch screen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. Android was originally developed by Android. Inc. with financial support from Google. The Development of Applications for Android-Based Economic Teaching Materials in High Schools, hardware, software, and telecommunications aims to advance the open standards of cellular devices (Rokhmah, 2. , (Idris, 2. Based on these problems, it would be nice if the learning resources of students are packaged in an attractive Android software design. Learners can access the android software related to the material, then the material will be immediately obtained. Many Interdiciplinary Journal of Education Vol. No 1 (July 2. Copyright A 2023.

Fahrurrozi & Rahmawati, 2021. Fahrurrozi. Riswanto, & Oktafiani, 2. Research Method This research is a Research and Development (R&D) using a model (Borg & Gall. The data obtained in this study is in the form of quantitative data or data in the form of numbers derived from questionnaires made for media experts and material experts, besides that questionnaires are also made for students as test subjects the results of this quantitative data can be concluded about the feasibility of the model learning (Fahrurrozi & Mohzana. In addition to quantitative data, researchers also used qualitative data derived from validator comments, teacher assessments of learning models produced by researchers, and also the results of interviews with teachers in Economics. Result and Discussion The development of Android-based economic teaching materials to improve student learning outcomes was developed based on various stages of the needs analysis needed. This initial product development stage is the initial stage of development research Researchers develop learning media in accordance with what has been designed. The learning media developed were tested for their effectiveness and validity before they were applied in the learning process in accordance with Brog and GallAos development In testing the validity of the development of this learning model used several experts who validate the product that has been made. In addition, there are also instruments of teacher and student response regarding learning models that have been developed. Design valiation Components that will be assessed in the validation of teaching materials in the display of teaching materials are aspects of the quality of content, aspects of eligibility, language eligibility and aspects of product attractiveness. The following is an analysis of the results of the material expert validation. Table 1.

Field trials were conducted by making Android-based economic teaching materials as one of the learning media used during teaching and learning activities take place. Researchers replace the position of the teacher when teaching and learning activities take place. The role of the teacher is to oversee the ongoing teaching and learning activities. Before teaching and learning activities, researchers provide questions to determine the level of student understanding of the material that has been learned at a previous meeting. After completing the answers, the teacher will explain the material with different example problems. After that, the researchers then gave the same problem as before. So, researchers can compare how effective the improvement of student learning outcomes before and after using Android-based economic teaching materials. As for filling out the questionnaire responses of students and teachers conducted in the last session. So the success rate of developing Android-based economic teaching materials to improve student learning outcomes is equal to 93%. Meanwhile, for studentsAo responses to android-based economic teaching materials in field trials can be seen in the following table. Table 5.

The process of developing this learning media goes through five stages, as described in the above research results. In line also found by (Fahrurrozi & Mohzana. Fahrurrozi & Rahmawati, 2. Some stages carried out in the development process in this study include: . preliminary research, in which at this stage researchers conducted observations and interviews with students and teachers of economic subjects to find out some problems that occur at school during the teaching and learning process in the area. This stage is also carried out by spreading questionnaires to students to analyze the needs of the learning model applied by the teacher and which will be applied later by the researcher. Initial product development, where at this stage researchers have begun compiling products to be developed, namely products developed in the form of Android-based economic teaching materials. design validation, at this stage the researcher conducts expert validation on the products that have been made against two validators namely material experts and media experts to find out how valid the products are made before being trialled. product trials, at this stage researchers conducted product trials directly on small groups and then revised if there were And . completing the product, at this last stage the researcher conducted a field trial, to find out the level of success of the learning model that has been developed by the researcher and to make the product permanently. While the effectiveness of this learning media can be seen from three things namely the teacherAos response, student response and learning outcomes, (Fahrurrozi & Sari, 2. in seeing the effectiveness of this learning media, the class chosen as the test subject is the class X which consists of 15 students at the time field trials conducted. The effectiveness of this Android-Based Economic Teaching Material is 31%, this is in line with the Classical Completeness theory proposed by (Mulyasa, 2. that the effectiveness of teaching materials can be seen one of them by looking at student scores above 75 . bove KKM) and with the provisions classical by 85%. Because the results of this study reached 93%, the development of Android-Based Economic Teaching Materials was declared effective in improving student learning outcomes. While the response of teachers in economic studies get an average of 95% aspects of overall aspects and 87% of studentsAo Interdiciplinary Journal of Education Vol. No 1 (July 2. Copyright A 2023.

This is in line with the eligibility test criteria tested by descriptive analysis with the percentage of response results obtained above 85. 01% then it is feasible or unnecessary to be revised (Akbar, 2. So, because the results of the teacherAos response in the field of economic studies and student responses get results above 95%, the Android-Based Economics Teaching Material is declared suitable for use in the teaching and learning process. Conclusion Based on the discussion that has been presented, it can be concluded that the development of Android-based economic teaching materials is carried out through several stages starting from preliminary research, initial product development, initial product, final product trial, and final product. As for the various stages, some validation needs to be done to determine the validity level of the product that has been made so that what has been developed can be applied according to the purpose. The validatorAos assessment of material experts is workable with an average score of 84%. The assessment of the validator of the media expert is quite decent, with an average score of 83. After the validation process was carried out, then proceed to a small group trial consisting of 5 students of class X by 92. 2% and economics teachers. The results obtained are feasible with an average score of 95%. Field trials also get a decent assessment of 88. 1% of the responses of 15 students and 100% of the responses of teachers in economics. The development of Android-based economic teaching materials is declared feasible to improve student learning outcomes because the value of the results of the classical completeness analysis is more than 85% which is 93%.
