Abstract

Learning media are used to facilitate educational practices, both in terms of administration and as a tool in
teaching and learning activities. Music and dynamic images are effective stimulants of the brain's work in
developing eidetic intelligence, remembering visual information with high-level photographic accuracy.
Making Chemcoustic application as audio visual media aims to develop students' learning abilities in
understanding chemical concepts based on chemistry representations, by utilizing Android-based
technology. The making of the application is carried out with the design stages of the application design
in terms of the display, content, and lyrics of chemical songs, making music arrangements, song
validation, application making, testing, and evaluation. The trial was conducted on 40 fresh graduated
high school students using C1-C4 type test instruments in the form of pre-test and post-test. Based on the
t-test quantitative analysis, the calculated t value is greater than the t table value, and the average gain
score of the post-test (52.8975) is much greater than the average gain score pretest (15.68). Qualitative
observation shows that learning using Chemcoustic applications is conducive, enthusiasm and activeness
of students increases significantly. Chemcoutic application is effective as a medium of chemistry learning,
as well as science learning that demands complex concepts with macroscopic, sub-microscopic, and
symbolic representations. In the life of modern society, technological innovation is very influential
in every aspect of life including the world of education. Technology is used as a tool or media to facilitate
educational practices, both in terms of educational administration and as a tool in teaching and learning
activities. One example of media that can be used in learning activities is audio visual media. This media
can facilitate the understanding of concepts and student absorption, helping teachers to present material in
a directed, systematic, and interesting manner so that learning objectives can be achieved. . (Adistya,
et al, 2018). After analyzing these various problems, the authors took the initiative to
make learning media innovations in the form of applications called Chemcoustic. It is the audio visual
learning media contains a discussion of chemical concepts with visualization in the form of three-
dimensional (3D) images that are attractive and dynamic, complemented by audio in the form of songs
about chemical concepts as the name of application; Chemistry Acoustic. The materials presented in the
application are a form of simplification of chemical bonding by prioritizing the accuracy of the concept,
considering macroscopic, submicroscopic, and symbolic representative. In addition, the Chemcoustic
song is created from the keywords of chemical concept and instrumented by the acoustic music, in order
to make it easier for students to remember concepts that they have learned at the material presentation
stage. In the Chemcousic application there is also an evaluation option that contains C1-C4 type questions
related to chemical material / concepts along with the discussion. From this
verse, it can be known the key to the entry of knowledge and knowledge, starting from the sense of
hearing (as-sam'a) through the audio receptors, then vision (al-abshar) through visual receptors, as well as
storage in the brain in the form of long-term memory internally internalized profound (afidah)
