Abstract

Innovation in learning in the digital age is urgently needed to expand students' learning experiences. The use of technology to develop learning media assisted by Android applications is an effective alternative. Apart from providing interactive and efficient learning activities, Android learning media is able to stimulate thinking abilities and attract students' interest in learning. This research aims to conduct a literature review regarding Android learning media to improve students' critical thinking skills and interest in learning. The research method used in this research is Systematic Literature Review (SLR). SLR allows the presentation of an objective and comprehensive summary of the existing evidence in the literature on a research topic. Data was collected from 17 article sources covering relevant topics. Analysis and synthesis of these articles shows that the development of Android-based learning media is effective in increasing students' critical thinking skills and interest in learning.
