Abstract

This article focused on the use of a digital mobile dictionary application in the classroom process. The research stages were based on the Four-D (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate) model. The final product was recognized as authentic and practical by media experts and teachers. The product's performance indicator was 4.23, classified as "excellent," and its practicality indicator was 4.51, also classified as "excellent." The product was tested in three stages: an individual test with 2 students, a small-scale test with 11 students, and field trials with 27 students. The developed product, "Digital Mobile Dictionary Application for Physics," was published in Application Package File (.apk) format and made available for free download through the Google Play Store. The dictionary is designed interactively, making it easier for users to search for electrical terms and explanations. Another advantage is that the application includes explanations in the Karakalpak language. Furthermore, the digital mobile dictionary application developed for secondary school students may result in integration into the educational process.
