Abstract

The integration of Android technology and the internet into education in Indonesia has introduced innovative approaches to the learning process, enhanced by digital media. One notable example is the Nearpod application. This study aims to develop and evaluate the feasibility of Nearpod as a learning medium for reaction rate topics and to assess student responses to the application. The research follows the Research and Development (RD) methodology, employing the ADDIE model, which includes five stages: Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate. The study was conducted in the Chemistry Education Department, Syiah Kuala University, and involved 60 students from the 2022 cohort who had completed the Basic Chemistry 2 course. Research instruments included a needs analysis questionnaire, a media feasibility assessment validated by experts, student response sheets, and System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaires. The findings indicated that the Nearpod learning media achieved a validity score of 0.91, categorized as highly valid. The reliability assessment showed a reliability rate of 91%, indicating that the media is trustworthy. Student responses to Nearpod were overwhelmingly positive, with a satisfaction rate of 90%. The System Usability Scale (SUS) evaluation yielded a score of 71, placing the application in the "good" usability category. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the Nearpod application is a viable and effective learning medium for teaching reaction rate concept.
