The ADDIE model is an iterative instructional design process in which the results of the formative evaluation of each step may lead the designer back to any previous phase. The R D model is the most appropriate model to design a product and procedures which then are systematically field-tested, evaluated and revised until they meet specific criteria of effectiveness, quality, and similar standards Borg Gall, 2003: 569.

B. THE RESEARCH SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS

The researcher is aimed to make m-learning model in mobile phones with Android Os, called the AFORN Active English for Nursing which is intended to be English m-learning tool for students of Diploma Program in Nursing at Poltekkes Yogyakarta. The AFORN contains English lesson or English material which focuses on improving communication skill for the students or professionals. In developing the product, the researcher involved the target learners, the lecturers and the expert as the research participants and research respondents. So, the settings of the research were in Poltekkes Yogyakarta, Muhammadiyah University of Yogyakarta UMY, PGRI University of Yogyakarta UPY, and Sanata Dharma University of Yogyakarta USD. In conducting need analysis, the researcher interviewed nursing student in semester 4 and English lecturer of Poltekkes Yogyakarta, conduct observation, and distribute questionnaire to the target learners. Thus the setting was in Poltekkes Yogyakarta. 68 In the step of preliminary field testing, the researcher needed to validate the preliminary form of product designed, thus the experts were English lecturer from PGRI University of Yogyakarta and Nursing lecturers who also teach English from Poltekkes Yogyakarta. They were given questionnaire and interviewed. In order to evaluate the product from IT point of view, the researcher distributed questionnaire and conduct interview with IT expert from Muhammadiyah University of Yogyakarta and IT practitioner from Ministry of Health.

For the main field testing step, the participants were students in nursing program of Poltekkes Yogyakarta semester 4. Thus, the implementation would be done in Poltekkes Yogyakarta.

C. RESEARCH DATA

The purpose of this research is to create an m-learning media in mobile phones with Android Operating System Android Os which is called the AFORN Active English for Nursing. The product, the AFORN is created specifically for nursing students of Poltekkes Politeknik Kesehatan. Research and development is used to design new product and procedures which then are systematically field tested, evaluated, and revised until the product meet the criteria of effectiveness, quality or similar standard Borg Gall, 2003: 569. The phases in R D then combined with the ADDIE phases. Actually there are ten major steps in R D cycle and five steps in ADDIE cycle, but since the research time is limited and the seven steps in R D and five steps in ADDIE cycles are considered as 69 appropriate, the researcher, therefore, only employs the seven steps in R D and five steps in ADDIE.

1. Strategy in Collecting and Organizing Data

The researcher used two kinds of instruments to obtain the data. Those were questionnaires and interview. Borg and Gall 2003 states that questionnaires are documents that ask the same questions of all individuals in the sample. Respondents record a written or typed response to each questionnaire item. In questionnaires, the respondent can also possible to fill out the questionnaire at their convenience, answer the questions in any order, make marginal comments or just skip the questions p. 221. So, by using questionnaires, the researcher felt so helpful to obtain the information needed without doing direct checking to certain condition and it can be implemented either in big or small group of respondent so that it only needs less time to conduct. There were several types of questionnaires; first was questionnaire related with need analysis. So, by getting data from the questionnaire, the researcher knew the needs of the students in English lesson and also the method that has been used so far by their English lecturers. The second questionnaires were about the product, AFORN which were distributed to the experts, either experts in English teaching or experts in Information and Technology IT. They could give their opinion, comments, and suggestion also in essays part. All the questionnaires used likert scale and essays. The third questionnaires were distributed to the nursing students to obtain their feedbac related with the English material in the AFORN and the product of AFORN. 70 The researcher also conducted interview to the research participants and respondents. The purpose of conducting interview was to obtain more complete information from the research participants and respondents. The information needed by having interview use to complete the information got from the questionnaires. The interview was still similar with questionnaire items. The first interview was conducted with the nursing students and English lecturer that were about the students need , students‟ characteristics and teaching method need analysis step. The second interview was conducted with some experts in English and IT. It was done in preliminary field testing to obtain feedback related with the English materials and the design of product. The third interview was conducted with the nursing students to obtain more detail information form the feedback of the questionnaire that was about English material in the AFORN and the product of AFORN. Borg and Gall 2003 states that interview consists of oral questions asked by the interviewer and oral responses given by the research participants. Since interview is in the form of conversation, the researcher can in detail dig the information needed as in the questionnaires. Interview can be conducted in group or personally. Since the first interview were conducted in the form of conversation, it can be useful also to know the stud ents‟ language proficiency, teaching method and strategies, and characteristics of the students form the lecturer‟s point of view. In the interview with the IT experts, the researcher obtained more detail information about how the product should be related with the layout, the navigation, the format, and how to operate the product, whereas in interview with English lecturers, the information was related with the English 71 materials, emaphasizing the feedback from the questionnaires in the same step. The third interview in main field testing was done with the nursing students.
