Escape Room Game-Based Learning to Develop Student's Learning Proficiency of Covalent Bond

Abstract

        The objectives of this study were (1) to develop learning proficiency of grade 11st students on the covalent bond by using escape-room games and (2) to evaluate the students’ satisfaction towards the escape-room games. The samples in this research were 43 students from grade 11st in high school. The research instrument consisted of lesson plan, learning achievement test and student satisfaction with learning through escape room games. Analyze data of mean () standard deviation (S.D.) percentage development and satisfaction level. To collect the data, a pre-test and a post-test about the covalent bond, and a questionnaire to survey students’ satisfaction on the use of the games were employed. The results showed that the average score of the post-test ( 16.07) was higher than the pre-test (  8.42). The progress score of the students was at 35.45 percent, and the students’ satisfaction towards the games was found at the high level (  4.39). In addition, those students were happy with the use of the games to teach the covalent bond. Those games helped them to better understand the concept of it. In other words, the escape-room games could increase their learning proficiency, allow them to learn with fun as well as support their growing scientific concept.
