Abstract

This research is developed as to provide a new learning method for Chemistry subject dedicated to Form 4. This method is using high technology approach which is Virtual Reality (VR) in collaboration with three dimensional models (30 ). The used of such technology is hoped to help students learn and increase level of understanding of atoms and molecules as Chemistry subject is an abstract subject and full with concept. This research is based on the constructivism concepts which help students learning process based on experiences. The experience gained is not from the manual method but through the visualization and user can immerse into the virtual environment. Detail anal sis has been made in few secondary schools in Melaka to further analyze the current method of learning atom and molecule to gain some useful sight of what is the problems faced by the student in order to understand the topics. Few analysis techniques have been adapted while the research is made. The technique used for this research is interview and questionnaires. Based on the analysis that has been done, an early prototype has been de eloped to fulfil the need of research. The learning application built focused the two main topics in the syllabus which are Atom Structure and Chemical Bond. Student can interactively interact with the model of atom and molecule in virtual environment. The prototype is built using ADDIE model methodology which is suitable for building learning application in order to ensure the output is high in quality and able to help the learning process effectively. 30 authoring tool software which is 30 Studio Max is integrated with EON Studio software is used as the platform in developing the virtual environment for the system. The prototype and the final output of the research are presented as semi - immersive system using goggle, Crystal Eyes.
