Abstract

Learning media that lacks interactivity often causes students to become bored quickly and contributes to low learning outcomes. To meet that challenge, interactive website-based media such as Chem Go has been developed to offer a more effective learning experience. This innovation is designed to improve student learning outcomes. The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the website-based interactive media (Chem Go) in teaching electrolyte and non-electrolyte solutions. This study is a Research and Development (R&D) study using the 4D model. The population of this study is all Grade XI students at State Senior High School 6 Samarinda in the 2025/2026 academic year. The samples in this study were from classes XI-C and XI-D. The data collection technique used was cluster random sampling. The method used in this study was a pre-experiment with a two-group pre-test post-test design without a control group. The N-Gain analysis results showed values of 0.45 for class XI-C and 0.41 for class XI-D, both in the moderate category. In contrast, the Effect Size was 1.09 for class XI-C (high) and 1.41 for class XI-D (very high). The students' response to this media was positive, falling into the positive category for understanding, attitude, and active participation. These results confirm that Chem Go is an effective medium for learning chemistry and improves learning outcomes
