Abstract

The research aims at developing a mobile game “Brainchemist” for high school learning media in the topics of solubility, soluble product, and colloid. The mobile game “Brainchemist” is developed using the development model ADDIE (Analysis-Design-DevelopmentImplementation-Evaluation) that is limited to the fourth phase which is implementation. The mobile game “Brainchemist” product is reviewed by material experts, IT experts and peer reviewers. The quality of the mobile game “Brainchemist” is determined with data analysis obtained from 5 chemistry teachers and 24 high school students (science class) of year 11.
The product quality evaluation is obtained from a questionnaire which contains aspects of material and problems, language, conduct, audio visual layout and software engineering. The mobile game “Brainchemist” can run on Android-based mobile phones. The teachers fnd the mobile game as very good with the ideality percentage of 81.10%. Students fnd the mobile game interesting and amusing and it motivates them to learn chemistry. Based on the evaluation, the mobile game “Brainchemist” is valid to be used as chemistry learning media in the topics of solubility, soluble product, and colloid.
