In German language courses at universities, students must learn four skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. To master these four skills, students must have a good command of vocabulary, as this is the foundation needed to master the German language. This software does not require programming code, so users can easily add graphics and sounds to the game. Without vocabulary, skills such as reading, writing, speaking, and listening cannot be performed. This study aims to create a Construct 2 application that can be used by college students to increase their A1 level German vocabulary. The data for this study is A1 level German vocabulary with the theme “Guten Appetit,” and another source of data is the book “Netzwerk neu A1 Kursbuch” published by Ernst Klett Sprachen GmbH in 2019. This research will be conducted in the foreign language laboratory at UNIMED. The application will be tested by subject matter experts and learning media experts. This research will be published in a nationally indexed journal.

This study aims to develop an Android-based educational game that focuses on learning about fasting. This game is designed to provide a fun, exciting and educational interactive experience for users, especially children aged 6-12 years who want to learn about fasting in the month of Ramadan. The method used in developing this game is the Design Thinking method, which involves five stages of the process, namely (emphasize) understanding, (define) definition, (ideate) idea, (prototype) prototype and, (test) testing. In research and data collection, the authors used questionnaires, and observations as primary data, and secondary data including literature and internet reviews. Making educational games is developed using the game engine Construct 2. The games developed are only limited to prototypes so that more implementation and application is needed, therefore further research is still needed to perfect this Ramadan Adventure game. The results of this study are expected to make a positive contribution in the development of educational games that are useful for learning about fasting. This game can be used as an interesting and interactive educational tool to help users better understand and practice fasting. In addition, this research also has the potential to become a foundation for the development of other Android-based educational games that focus on religious and cultural learning.

This research is based on the problems found based on the results of interviews with mathematics teachers and students at SMPN 1 Lareh Sago Halaban that the media used in the learning process only uses the blackboard with lecture and discussion methods, there is no technology-based learning media, especially educational games that are used by teachers to students related to mathematics lessons caused a lack of interest and activeness of students in mathematics subjects. Based on this, the solution given is to design a learning media. The purpose of this research is to produce learning media products in the form of educational games with the help of software Building 2 mathematics subjects at SMPN 1 Lareh Sago Halaban. The design of mathematics education games uses the construct 2 design application at SMPN 1 Lareh Sago Halaban with the Research and Development (R&D) research method using the MDLC (Multimedia Development Life Cycle) development model from Luther Sutopo the development model is explained in 6 stages, namely Concept, Design, Materials Collection, Assembly, Testing and Distribution. The product test used in the research is the validity test, practicality test, and effectiveness test. The product test results show that the educational games designed are valid, practical and effective. For the results of the validity test of three validators, the score was 0.88, the practical test by 3 practi- tators was 0.97, and the effectiveness test of twenty people was 0.92.

The research method used in this research is Research and Development. The subjects in this study consisted of validation subjects consisting of material and media validators and test subjects consisting of 23 grade VII junior high school students. The research was conducted at SMP Negeri 10 Sungai Kakap. The instruments used in the study consisted of expert validation sheets, respondent questionnaires, and tests of mathematical understanding abilities. The purpose of this study was to determine the process of developing an Android-based math educational game using software construct 2 on mathematical abilities. The results of the study are as follows: The level of feasibility of an Android-based math education game using software construct 2 on the ability to understand the results obtained is 88.66% with very feasible criteria. The level of attractiveness of an Android-based math education game using software construct 2 on the ability to understand the results obtained is 88.19% with very interesting criteria. Improved mathematical understanding skills after the application of Android-based math education games. There is an increase From the calculation results obtained tcount> ttable = 8.85987> 1.71714, thus Ho is rejected Ha accepted.
