Transforming Molecular Geometry Learning through EddPuzzle Interactive Videos to Improve High School Students' Visual Intelligence

Revani Putri Iswaji, Kusumawati Dwiningsih

Abstract

Understanding molecular geometry poses a significant challenge for high school students due to its abstract nature, often leading to misconceptions. This study aims to develop and evaluate an EddPuzzle-based interactive video to enhance students’ conceptual understanding and visual intelligence in molecular geometry. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) method, the study adopts the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate) but is limited to the development phase. The interactive video was validated by three experts and achieved a median score of 4 across content, construct, and visual intelligence criteria, indicating excellent validity. The product was tested on 30 eleventh-grade students using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ understanding and visual intelligence, supported by N-Gain scores—93.3% of students reached the high category for cognitive tests, and 86.7% for visual intelligence tests. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test confirmed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) between pretest and posttest scores. Student feedback indicated high practicality: 100% expressed interest in using the media, 97.8% found the material easier to understand, and 96.7% considered the video user-friendly. These findings suggest that EddPuzzle-based interactive videos are effective and feasible tools for improving students’ visual intelligence in chemistry learning. Integrating interactive technology into science education supports more engaging and student-centered learning aligned with 21st-century education goals.
