| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to develop a mobile enthalpy game application (MEGA)and study its effect on matriculation students achievement in writing thermochemical equations.MEGA is an Android game application developed for student to acquire skills to writethermochemical equations. It is developed based on ADDIEs, Kwons and the game-based learningengineering models. MEGA was validated in terms of content, pedagogy and multimedia by usingCohens kappa agreement coefficient. Reliability of MEGA is determined by using the reliabilitycoefficient. This quantitative study employed time-series quasi experimental design involving36 students in the control group (PowerPoint slides) and 36 students in the experimental group(MEGA). Samples are chosen by using a simple random sampling technique. The effect of MEGA versusPowerPoint slides on student achievement of thermochemical equation were compared. Data wascollected by using a need analysis questionnaire, pre-tests, post- tests, game score sheets andevaluation forms. Data were analyzed descriptively by using percentage and inferentiallyusing t-test and Pearson correlation analysis. Findings showed the Cohens kappa agreement forcontent is 1.00, pedagogy is 1.00 and multimedia is 0.82. Meanwhile, the reliabilitycoefficient for MEGA is 0.71. Results showed there were no significant differences in pre-testscores between control and experimental groups. There were significant differences between pre andpost-test scores for control group and experimental group. There was also significant difference inthe post-test scores between control and experimental groups. In conclusion, MEGA could enhancestudents achievement in writing thermochemical equations compared to the PowerPoint slidepresentation. This study implies, in this era of Education 4.0,mobile game applications (MEGA) could promote gen Z learning of chemistry. |
