Abstract

The abstract nature of chemistry poses significant learning challenges for visually impaired students, highlighting the need for tactile-based assistive learning technologies such as Braille to support inclusive chemistry education. This study aims to develop a smart interactive braille periodic table with dynamic audio as an assistive learning technology for inclusive chemistry learning. Limited access to visual learning resources poses significant challenges for visually impaired students in understanding the periodic system of elements. This study uses the research and development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model which is limited to the implementation stage (analysis, design, development, implementation. The developed media integrates tactile Braille, dynamic audio feedback, and a smart interactive system to provide real-time multisensory learning experiences for visually impaired students. The results showed that the media achieved high validity, with content validity of 87% and construct validity of 89%. The practicality test indicated very high usability, with student responses reaching 89.28% and learning activity observations achieving 100%. The effectiveness test demonstrated a significant improvement in learning outcomes, with an N-Gain score of 88.15% (very high) and a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the smart interactive braille periodic table is a valid, practical, and effective assistive learning technology that enhances accessibility and conceptual understanding in inclusive chemistry learning

Abstract

Abstract chemistry concepts and visual access limitations contribute to low chemistry learning motivation among students with visual impairments. Most chemistry concepts are presented through visual representations, such as chemical symbols and the periodic table, making them difficult for students with visual impairments to access through conventional learning media. This study aims to analyze learning motivation through the implementation of the smart interactive braille periodic table. The study employed a one-group pretest-posttest design using purposive sampling involving six students with visual impairments in Surabaya. Data were collected through a learning motivation questionnaire, student response questionnaire, learning implementation observation sheet, and student activity observation sheet, and were analyzed using inferential statistical and descriptive analyses. The results showed that the average learning motivation score increased from 51.67 on the pre-test to 88.50 on the post-test, with an N-Gain of 0.761 (high). Furthermore, the paired-sample t-test showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) and a very large effect size (Cohen's dz = 4.58). In conclusion, the smart interactive braille periodic table showed potential to enhance chemistry learning motivation among students with visual impairments and provides an adaptive, technology-based approach to multisensory inclusive chemistry learning
