Preparing Atomic Structure and Periodical System Android Based-Teaching Media using Funchem Smart Apps Creator Program

Abstract

Learning media is one of the developments in information technology that has an impact on the world of education. As a result, the education sector must be able to use technology to create multimedia-based learning media that are more appealing, interactive, and comprehensive. The purpose of this research and development is to describe the preparation step, feasibility (validity), effectiveness, and improvement of student learning interest through learning media using an Android-based teaching model developed in general chemistry learning of atomic structure and periodic system elements material using the 4D development model. This research and development resulted Android based learning applications with a capacity of 28.3 MB "Funchem" that has been declared valid (appropriate) with the goal of creating learning applications that are accurate and concise for usage by students. Validity is met based on the assessment of the validators of material experts and media experts with the feasibility level for media eligibility is 87.5% and for material eligibility is 85.6%, putting it in the highly feasible category for both media and material.

“…The teacher notices that the learning media used in learning process only used textbook. Similar results were also shown by previous research on providing Android-based learning media for atomic structure and the periodic system of elements (Donasari and Silaban, 2021;Silaban et al, 2023b). Student interest in learning is still small because many students find it difficult to understand chemistry lessons so they tend to open their cellphones or chat with their friends rather than take part in learning.…”

“…Each category is outlined in the student response assessment instrument using a Likert scale. Following are the results of the student response questionnaire on the feasibility of learning media products based on Android applications shown in (Lubis and Ikhsan, 2015;Donasari and Silaban, 2021;Silaban et al, 2023b).…”

Analysis of Teachers and Student Responses to Android-based Chemical Bonding Learning Media Using Smart Apps Creator Program

“…One of the developments in information technology in the world of education is the creation of learning media. Therefore, the world of education must be able to utilize technology to create multimedia-based learning media that are more interesting, interactive and comprehensive [4,5] Chemistry is a science that is always developing along with technological advances. its nature is abstract, interconnected and requires high level thinking skills in its application.…”

“…its nature is abstract, interconnected and requires high level thinking skills in its application. Some students have difficulty understanding chemistry because it is a subject that has facts, procedures and concepts, and problem solving [4] . Apart from that, chemistry subjects aim to enable students to have the ability to understand the laws, principles, concepts and theories of chemistry and use them in solving everyday life problems [6,7] .…”
