Using Addie Model to Develop and Evaluate 'Little Periodic' Learning the Periodic Table of Elements

Learning the periodic table of elements can pose a challenge for students due to the complex organization and relationships between the different elements. Game-based interventions have been shown in past studies to be one of the feasible ways to overcome this challenge. In this research, a tabletop game, called "Little Periodic" was developed to improve students' chemical representation and conceptual understanding. Following the five phases of the ADDIE model - Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation - the study first analyzed students' needs and identified key concepts for mastery. Additionally, an overview of the five phases is discussed in detail within this study, providing insight into the systematic process to develop and evaluate the tabletop game. Three teachers were interviewed to see the appropriate content that will be included in the tabletop game based on the "Dokumen Standard Kurikulum dan Pentaksiran (DSKP)." A tabletop game was designed and developed that could be used in physical learning environments. To evaluate the effectiveness of the developed tabletop game, validation forms and questionnaires were administered to three validator experts. The results indicated that the tabletop game was valid and effective, with high scores for content suitability, potential effectiveness, and overall satisfaction. The feedback received from chemistry teachers indicated a significant level of satisfaction with the tabletop game. The developed tabletop games can be employed in various learning situations, including in-person learning, and the effects of tabletop games need to further be investigated to ensure and enhance students to achieve deeper learning outcomes.
