Natural Science (IPA) learning at the Junior High School (SMP) level faces challenges in improving students' understanding of concepts effectively and interestingly. The use of conventional learning media is considered less able to motivate students and visualize scientific concepts optimally. In today's digital era, mobile learning (m-learning) is an innovative solution that allows the teaching and learning process to be carried out anytime and anywhere through mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Mobile learning-based interactive learning media provides various features such as animations, simulations, interactive quizzes, and educational videos that are able to increase students' interest, motivation, and understanding of science materials. Based on various studies and research, it was found that the use of this media significantly improved students' learning outcomes and concept understanding compared to traditional learning methods. In addition, this media is able to provide a more enjoyable and meaningful learning experience, as well as facilitate flexible access to information and practice. The results of this study show that mobile learning-based interactive learning media is an effective alternative to support the science learning process in junior high school, as well as support the development of learning that is more innovative and relevant to today's needs.
