The effectiveness and learning outcomes of mobile learning integrated with ethnopedagogy on metacognitive ability of students in North Tapanuli

This research aims to find out about the effectiveness of mobile learning media integrated with ethno- pedagogy to improve the metacognitive ability of students on the acid-base material. To find out about the effectiveness of media integrated with ethno-pedagogy, quasi-experimental, quantitative-method research is done through the field- tested with one control class and one experimental class of 35 students in each class. The metacognitive ability was measured by a validated inventory questionnaire test, while the acid-base learning outcomes were measured by an analytical test. The metacognitive ability was analyzed by SPSS 22 application through the Independent t-Test and the acid-base learning outcomes through the Paired Sample t-Test with 0.05 level of mistake. The result of this research showed that there was a difference in student metacognitive ability after mobile learning media integrated with ethno- pedagogy has been applied compared to conventional learning with an average of 16.80 and 14.40. The result of this research also shows that there was a difference that the learning outcomes of mobile learning media integrated with ethno-pedagogy are more inclined compared to conventional learning with an average of 70.62 and 62.22. This research concludes that the mobile learning media integrated with ethno-pedagogy is effective to be used as a learning media to improve the metacognitive ability of students on the acid-base topic, obtained by the metacognitive correlation result and the acid-base learning outcomes in the amount of 0.585 with a moderate correlation category.
