Growth Chemy KAlTer: Android based educational game on alcohol, ether, and carbonyl compound concepts

Abstract

This study aims to describe the appearance of an android-based educational game on the concept of alcohol, ether, and carbonyl compounds named Growth Chemy KAlTer, as well as analyze the results of validation and media feasibility tests. Research and Development (R&D) research method with ADDIE design through the stages of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluations. This research was carried out until the development stage. The game display Growth Chemy KAlTer has four-game determinations, regarding functional groups, nomenclature, reactions, and synthesis, as well as the application of alcohol, ether, and carbonyl compounds in life. Media Growth Chemy KAlTer not only presents questions but also includes answer keys and discussion of questions as well as brief theories and dialogues to build user understanding. Users will get stars and pop-ups according to the score they get and can see the progress of their understanding of alcohol, ether, and carbonyl compounds. The validation test results obtained an average rcount of 0.8726 and a feasibility test result of 83.13%, indicating that the Growth Chemy KAlTer media has the potential to support the learning process of alcohol, ether, and carbonyl compounds in the classroom.
