Abstract

This study aimed to develop and produce a website-based learning media integrated with the Problem-BasedLearning (PBL) model on chemical equilibrium topics, to examine the product’s validity, feasibility, andpracticality, as well as to evaluate its effectiveness on students learning outcomes. The research employed aResearch and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE development model integrated with the PBL modeland supported by Google Sites. The study involved 34 eleventh-grade students and applied a pre-experimentalresearch method with a one-group pretest–posttest design. The results indicated that the website-basedlearning media demonstrated a very high level of validity. The feasibility test showed that the product met thefeasible criteria, while the practicality test indicated that the media was categorized as very practical. Theimplementation of the learning media had a positive impact on students’ learning outcomes, as evidenced by anN-gain score of 0.564, classified as a moderate improvement, and an effect size of 1.05, classified as a verylarge improvement. These findings demonstrate that website-based learning media integrated with the Problem-Based Learning model is effective as an instructional innovation in chemistry education to enhance the quality ofboth the learning process and students’ learning outcomes, and it has the potential to serve as a reference forthe development of digital learning media in other chemistry topics.
