Abstract

This research aimed to examine the feasibility, practicality, and effectiveness of an Android-based learning medium developed using iSpring Suite 11 software for the topic of chemical bonding. The medium was created to address students' limited conceptual understanding through interactive innovation, featuring elements such as an interactive Periodic Table of Elements (PTE), instructional videos, interactive quizzes, concept maps, summaries, discussion-reflection features, and direct access via an APK file format. This Research and Development (R&D) study employed the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). Product testing utilized a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design—without a control group—involving 34 students from class XI-6 at SMA Negeri 1 Pematangsiantar. Instruments included media and content validation sheets (developed based on BSNP standards and evaluated by experts), questionnaires to gauge teacher and student responses, and test instruments to measure improvements in student learning outcomes. A needs analysis at SMA Negeri 1 Pematangsiantar revealed a lack of variety in interactive media used at the school, leading to reduced student interest and difficulties in comprehending the material. Consequently, an Android-based learning medium for chemical bonding was developed using iSpring Suite 11. Validation results showed an average score of 97.86 % from content experts and 95.04 % from media experts. Meanwhile, user responses reached 80.54 % from students and 93.47 % from teachers. Additionally, an average N-Gain score of 0.807 was achieved, falling within the range classified as effective for improving student learning outcomes. The final product is an Android-based learning medium; thus, it can be concluded that the Android-based learning medium for chemical bonding, developed using iSpring Suite 11, is highly feasible, practical, and effective for use in the learning process.
