Abstract

Various applications of Python programming learning on the Google Play making this programming learning resources easy to accessed. This study aims to evaluate various mobile applications that are used as learning media for Python programming. The evaluation is carried out based on the usability aspect to measure the level of usability and aspects of learning achievement to measure the level of application suitability based on the accuracy with student learning outcomes. This study used a qualitative approach with a grounded theory. The data source in this research is a mobile application that contains Python programming learning. Data analysis was carried out through several stages, namely observation, filtering, and application scoring based on an assessment using the Learning Object Review Instrument (LORI). Meanwhile, the ranking of data is measured using a Likert scale. The results of this study show that the Python programming learning media available on the Google Play is of good quality in terms of learning outcomes. The average score from this aspect is 36.50 out of 40.00 with a percentage of 91% from 85 applications, therefore it falls into the very suitable category (has good material). On the other hand, in terms of usability, the average score obtained was 63.62 out of 80.00 with a percentage of 75% of 85 applications, making it to be included in the category of feasible use with some improvements. The high rating of an application on the Google Play Store does not affect the analysis results because 60% of applications, namely 50 of the total 85 applications that have high ratings on the Google Play Store, have high ratings on the results of the analysis. In addition, at the end of the paper, the five best Python learning applications with the highest usability scores and aspects of learning outcomes are presented.
