Abstrakt: Ubiquitous learning has recently gained increasing popularity in the education sector, which significantly increased the efficiency of individual and collaborative learning. The aim of this study is to develop an Android version of science education-adaptive learning system (ScEd-ALS) as a science learning medium to accommodate various learning styles. The method used in this research is a mixedmethod consisting of a qualitative method, which is a developmental method that provides illustrations concerning the process of creating the developed media, and a quantitative method, which utilizes quasi-experiments to determine the effectiveness of the developed media application. The study comprised 114 eighthgrade junior high school students and three integrated science teachers in South Tangerang. The final product of the study is an Android-based science learning medium that conforms to the visual, aural, reading/writing, and kinesthetic student learning styles. Hence, this Android-based ScEd-ALS was found to be feasible and useful, as assessed by five experts (two media experts and three science education material experts). Nonetheless, there were significant differences in the learning outcomes between the experimental class using the Android version of ScEd-ALS compared to the control class. The effectiveness of using ScEd-ALS in this study was measured based on the percentage of students' mastery level. ScEd-ALS Android based on visual and kinesthetic learning styles are the most effective media compared to aural and read/write. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
