Pengembangan Permainan Brain Out Chemistry sebagai Media Pembelajaran untuk Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Peserta Didik pada Materi Sistem Periodik Unsur

Development of the Brain Out Chemistry Game as a Learning Medium to Improve Students’ Learning Outcomes on the Periodic Table of Elements

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan media pembelajaran berupa permainan edukatif Brain Out Chemistry guna meningkatkan hasil belajar peserta didik pada materi Sistem Periodik Unsur. Kelayakan media dinilai berdasarkan aspek kevalidan, kepraktisan, dan keefektifan. Penelitian ini menggunakan model pengembangan 4D (Define, Design, Develop, dan Disseminate), namun dibatasi sampai tahap Develop. Uji coba terbatas dilaksanakan pada peserta didik kelas X di SMA Negeri 15 Surabaya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa (1) media memperoleh skor validitas isi, konstruksi, dan tampilan dengan kategori baik hingga sangat baik, sehingga layak digunakan sebagai media pembelajaran; (2) respon peserta didik terhadap media berada pada kategori sangat baik dengan persentase rata-rata di atas 85%, sehingga media dinyatakan praktis; (3) aktivitas peserta didik dan keterlaksanaan pembelajaran selama penggunaan media berada pada kategori sangat baik; (4) hasil uji normalitas menunjukkan bahwa data tidak berdistribusi normal sehingga analisis ii peningkatan dilakukan menggunakan uji Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test; (5) hasil uji menunjukkan nilai signifikansi 0,000 < 0,05, yang berarti terdapat peningkatan yang signifikan antara nilai pretest dan posttest. Dengan demikian, media permainan edukatif Brain Out Chemistry dinyatakan valid, praktis, dan efektif digunakan sebagai media pembelajaran pada materi Sistem Periodik Unsur di SMA Negeri 15 Surabaya.

This study aims to develop a learning media in the form of an educational game, Brain Out Chemistry, to improve students’ learning outcomes on the Periodic System of Elements material. The feasibility of the media was assessed in terms of its validity, practicality, and effectiveness. This research employed the 4D development model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate), but was limited to the Develop stage. A limited trial was conducted with Grade X students at SMA Negeri 15 Surabaya. The results showed that (1) the media obtained validity scores for content, construct, and appearance in the good to very good category, indicating that it is suitable for use as a learning medium; (2) students’ responses to the media were in the very good category with an average percentage above 85%, indicating that the media is practical; (3) student learning activities and the implementation of learning during the use of the media were also in the very good category; (4) the normality test results indicated that the data were not normally distributed, so the improvement analysis was carried out using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test; and (5) the test results showed a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, which means that there was a significant improvement between the pretest and posttest scores. Therefore, the Brain Out Chemistry iv educational game is declared valid, practical, and effective to be used as a learning medium for the Periodic System of Elements material at SMA Negeri 15 Surabaya.
