Learning Media applications that use an Android-based material delivery system are expected to facilitate the delivery of material, where previously material was only found in books and the internet. Learning materials that only come from books reduce the reader's understanding because there are only text and pictures. This is what underlies the selection of the thesis title "Application of Android-Based Hydroponic Vegetable Growing Learning Media Application" in the hope that it can be a solution to help people who take part in the training understand material about growing vegetables by hydroponics.Hydroponics is an agricultural activity carried out by using water as a medium to replace soil. So, hydroponics can be interpreted as a work or management of water as a medium for plant growth without using soil media as a planting medium and taking the required mineral nutrients from a nutrient solution dissolved in water. The learning media application for growing hydroponic vegetables based on Android is limited to material on hydroponics, planting media and tools used in hydroponics, the steps needed for hydroponic farming, systems or techniques that exist in hydroponics.

ABSTRACT The use of mobile devices with the Android operating system which are used as supporting media and supplements in improving learning outcomes combined with demonstration methods and discovery learning or demon-disco learning is needed to help students improve learning outcomes in hydroponic plant cultivation vocational competency subjects at SMK. Kristen Terang Bangsa, because the use of android-based applications can provide new experiences regarding the use of information and communication technology, as well as provide opportunities for students to be able to learn more independently. The concept chosen as a learning medium is to present material about understanding, introduction to parts, types, and quizzes containing questions about hydroponic cultivation of plants. This research uses the Research and Development (RnD) product development method, using 6 out of 10 research stages, namely potentials and problems, data collection, product design, design validation, design improvement, product testing. The result of this research is to produce learning media in the form of android-based applications. The validity value of the media expert is 2.6 which is declared feasible, while the validity value of the material expert is 3.6 which is declared feasible, and is able to increase the average value in the hydroponic plant cultivation vocational competency subject at the Terang Bangsa Christian Vocational School which Initially 67 (with 13 students who had not reached the KKM) to 80 (with 4 students who had not reached the KKM).

Utilization of a mobile device with the Android operating system that is used as a supporting medium and supplement in improving learning outcomes combined with demonstration and discovery learning or demon-disco learning methods is needed to help students improve learning outcomes in vocational competence subjects in hydroponic crop cultivation in vocational high schools Kristen Terang Bangsa, because the use of android-based applications can provide new experiences regarding the use of information and communication technology, as well as provide opportunities for students to be able to learn more independently.
