The research aimed to develop interactive multimedia based on scientific inquiry to improve student mathematics problem-solving as a provision for the era of Society 5.0. The research method used is the Agile Method, which is a software development method. This study involved 120 students from the first, second, to third years who were programming mathematics-related subjects at the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Teacher Education department, Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo. The results of the development of Interactive Mobile Mathematics Inquiry (IMMI) were valid and proven to improve student problem-solving abilities. In particular, this increase is significant in planning and implementing student plans for a problem. The significance is due to the training in the inquiry aspects during the use of IMMI. The implication of this research in the field of educational technology is that IMMI can be a preliminary study and a pioneer for lecturers, experts, and practitioners to use and further develop IMMI to improve students' mathematical problem-solving skills at the tertiary level more broadly as preparation for media availability following the values of technological advances in the future Society 5.0 era.

AbstraCT[The use of google classroom as a virtual classroom development in problem solving skills on kinematics topics for students majoring in computer systems] From observations in the field, it appears that students basically experience obstacles in developing problem solving skills. To assist students in developing problem solving skills, we can use technology developments that are developing rapidly in the last decade. One way of it is use Google Classroom. Therefore this study aims to develop student problem solving skills in the topic of parabolic motion and test the effectiveness of Google Classroom in the learning process on parabolic motion material. The research method used is a qualitative description based development research. The study was conducted with pre-research stages, experiments, evaluation of written tests and questionnaires. The research subject is in one class majoring in computer systems using all subjects in the study group (intact group) to be given treatment. The research shows that the Use of Google Classroom was running optimally. This can be seen from the results of student work and the results of questionnaires filled out by students. Besides learning with Google Classroom has the effectiveness to support the problem solving skills of these students which can be seen from the results of the questionnaire.Keywords: Information Technology; Google Classroom; Parabolic Motion; Problem Solving Skill. (Received August 26, 2019; Accepted September 24, 2019; Published November 9, 2019) AbstrakDari hasil pengamatan di lapangan, terlihat bahwa mahasiswa pada dasarnya mengalami kendala dalam mengembangkan keterampilan pemecahan masalah. Untuk membantu mahasiswa dalam mengembangkan keterampilan pemecahan masalah, maka dapat digunakan perkembangan teknologi yang maju pesat saat ini. Salah satu caranya adalah menggunakan Google Classroom. Oleh sebab itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan keterampilan pemecahan masalah mahasiswa dalam topik gerak parabola serta menguji efektivitas Google Classroom dalam proses pembelajaran pada materi gerak parabola. Metoda penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian pengembangan yang berbasis deskripsi kualitatif. Penelitian dilakukan dengan tahapan pra penelitian, eksperimen, evaluasi tes tertulis dan kuesioner. Subjek penelitian adalah  pada satu kelas jurusan sistem komputer dengan menggunakan seluruh subjek dalam kelompok belajar (intact grup) untuk diberikan perlakuan (treatment). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan Google Classroom berjalan secara optimal. Hal tersebut dapat dilihat dari hasil pekerjaan mahasiswa dan  hasil kuesioner yang diisi oleh mahasiswa. Selain itu pembelajaran dengan Google Classroom memiliki efektivitas untuk menunjang keterampilan pemecahan masalah dari mahasiswa tersebut yang dapat dilihat dari hasil kuesioner. Kata kunci: Teknologi; Google Classroom; Gerak Parabola; Keterampilan Pemecahan Masalah.

Authentic learning includes the necessary foundation in learning physics. However, the limitations of the physics module based on authentic learning have an impact on the common problem-solving skills of students. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of a static fluid module with authentic learning to practice student problem-solving skills. This research is research and development using the 4-D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). Class trials using one group pre-test and post-test design. The subjects of the research trial were 33 students of class XB SMA in Banjarmasin. The data were obtained through tests of problem-solving skills. The results showed that the module was effective because the results of Mann Whitney test were sig. = 0.00; means there is a significant increase in problem-solving skills. Also, the students' problem-solving skills were in the very good category. Thus, a static fluid module with authentic learning is effective for practicing student problem-solving skills.
