Politeknik Tun Syed Nasir Students Perception On Chemistry Education Application

Abstract

The continuous transformation to digital education, particularly in the context of online learning, is tightly linked to the development of innovative materials. Interactive learning is a valuable supplementary approach to enhancing educational outcomes and promoting student engagement in the continuously shifting educational environment. This innovation is called JTKM-Chemistry Education Apps 2.0 which covers courses on the subject Fundamental of Chemistry. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the degree to which this application can provide students with benefits. This interactive educational application was created via MIT App Inventor and is suitable for smartphones and tablets. This interactive learning application integrates tools from iSpring Suite, Sparkol VideoScribe, PowToon, Microsoft Sway and Forms, YouTube, Quizizz, and PDF files to provide engaging educational content. A survey question consisting of 10 questions that evaluated the percentage of student feedback for the Android app was completed by 61 students who used this application. The survey results indicated that 70% of students evaluated the developed application as user-friendly, 71% believed that it was easy to learn, and 78% expressed that it enhanced their comprehension of the subject. Furthermore, 80% recognized mobile device accessibility, while 77% valued the flexibility to update content. While only 35% rated online learning as more engaging than traditional classroom instruction, 71% believed that interactive materials enhanced their motivation to learn. This study shows that mobile-based interactive learning can significantly enhance student engagement and learning in online environments. Future studies should investigate long-term impacts on educational outcomes across different subject areas and student demographics.
