Preliminary Study of Chemical Bonding Learning Media Based on Podcast as Digital Entertainment Era 5.0

Abstract

In the ever-evolving digital era, technology has changed the way we access information. Era 5.0, has a technological concept where data and information is collected by the Internet of things (IoT) which is transformed by Artificial Intelligence (AI) into something that can help people live a better life. In the context of chemistry learning, one of the approaches that can be developed is digital entertainment-based learning media. This preliminary study aims to dig deeper into the potential and benefits of digital entertainment chemistry-based learning media in the context of Era 5.0. The method used was a survey involving 177 high school students by providing 30 open and closed question items via Google Forms online. Based on the survey results, it is known that the use of podcasts as digital entertainment-based learning media is considered suitable and has many positive impacts, as long as it is properly implemented and receives adequate support from the school and the government.

Tapping into collaborative skills and learning achievement: The effect of implementing the common knowledge construction model equipped with podcasts on chemical bonds topic

“…Compared to traditional methods, CKCM's interactive framework, supported by podcasts, facilitates a richer and more engaging learning environment. This is in line with research that stated students responded positively to video podcasts, with 86% of respondents showing ease in understanding the material presented, which indicates that podcast learning videos are exciting and effective in facilitating understanding of the concept of material (Widarti et al, 2024).…”
