Development of Media Three-dimensional (3D) Visualization using Virtual Reality on Chemistry Education

Abstract

This study aims to develop and test feasibility three-dimensional (3D) visualization of media using virtual reality in chemistry learning . The development model used in this study is Research and Development (R&D) model. This study implemented the stages of planning, preliminary development of the product, preliminary field testing, main product revision adapted from Borg and Gall. The development of the learning media in this study was validated by media expert, material expert, peer reviewers, and subject teachers, and was tested to 23 students. The results of this study revealed that three-dimensional (3D) media using virtual reality is feasible to use as learning media for high school students. The percentages of validation results are 74% by media and material experts, 76% by chemistry teachers, 84% by peer reviewers, and 77% by students. Overall, the average total percentage score of feasibility of the three-dimensional media is 78% categorized to ‘good’. In conclusion, the developed three-dimensional (3D) learning media using virtual reality is feasible to use in the chemistry learning process for the material of reaction rate.
