| The teaching and learning environment in the new millennium has tremendously employed modern teaching aid to generate interest and acceptance by the Z generation. Among others is the need for a smartphone that is dominated by android operating systems. This article describes the process of building an android application for geography subjects at school and university’s bachelor degree level. This research seeks to explore how an android-based application can be developed to support the teaching and learning process of geography courses by focusing on the calculation of bearings. The exploration approach methodology was chosen in explaining the process of building a GeoSudut android. Three stages involved in this study are (i) analysis of android building requirements documents, (ii) construction of waterfall model-based software and (iii) android application testing. However this article will not cover the third objective. The development of the android application fully utilizes the android studio which integrates the use of front-facing cameras and computations algorithms involving the android programming language. The findings show that geo-android can be used to aid in teaching and learning. In conclusion, smartphone-based development applications need to be further developed and GeoSudut applications can be further expanded by incorporating geographically-based applications to address the Z-generation that prefers the use of technology. As for the implication, more research need to be carry out to develop an android-based application for teaching and learning for the Z generation. |
