Media Pembelajaran Interaktif Berbasis Virtual Reality dalam Pengenalan Ikatan Kimia

Abstract

At the level of high school education (SMA) we find a subject which studies a compound, ion or bond of an elements. We can find these learning topics in Chemistry lessons. In this subject, the chemical bonds are also studied. Which is where the level of difficulty in the learning topic can be said to be high. It is not uncommon for school children to find it difficult to understand the material presented by the teacher. In today's era, many school children prefer to play video games rather than repeating the lessons they have learned from school. Therefore, by utilizing the technology of the current era coupled with the concept of games that are very easy to be interested in by the current generation, this study proposes the idea of combining the concept of technology with learning. Which in this study will be described related to the use of Virtual Reality technology as a learning medium in the topic of chemical bonding lessons on chemistry subjects. The learning media is presented by utilizing the concept of the game in order to create a fun effect and increase interest in learning from the students themselves. In order for students do not feel bored or fed up to understand the materials and exercises that are given by the teacher. The topic of chemical bonding is included in a fairly high level of difficulty in students' understanding. The results of the respondents who filled out the questionnaire were 81,54% so with this result, it can be concluded that this could work well.
