Pendampingan Pembelajaran Minyak Bumi Berbasis Augmented Reality 3D Untuk Meningkatkan Model Mental Siswa

Abstract

The low level of students' understanding of petroleum concepts at SMAN 1 Jonggat is caused by the abstract, complex, and demanding characteristics of the material, which requires high visualization skills. This condition impacts students' weak mental models in integrating macroscopic, submicroscopic, and symbolic representations in chemistry learning. This community service program aims to implement 3D Augmented Reality (AR) learning media as an innovative solution to train and strengthen students' mental models on petroleum material. The results of the community service implementation show that the use of 3D AR media can significantly improve students' conceptual understanding, especially in linking the distillation process, petroleum fractions, and hydrocarbon molecular structures visually and contextually. In addition to having an impact on students, this activity also improves teachers' competence in utilizing immersive technology-based learning media as an alternative for more interactive chemistry learning. The outputs of the community service include the availability of 3D AR-based petroleum learning modules, 3D AR applications ready for use in schools, and the publication of scientific articles in community service journals. This program contributes to improving the quality of chemistry learning and has the potential to be replicated in other schools with similar problem characteristics.
