Chemistry learning at the high school level often presents unique challenges. The subject matter
is inherently abstract and difficult to grasp, while limited teaching aids and minimal use of technology
further contribute to low student motivation and achievement. Observations at SMA PGRI Kota Pagar Alam
revealed that although 85% of students own smartphones, these devices have yet to be fully utilized to support
learning.This study focuses on developing an interactive chemistry learning multimedia application using
the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC), which consists of six stages: concept, design, material
collecting, assembly, testing, and distribution. The final product integrates animations, simulations, game
based interactive quizzes, and audio narration into a cohesive learning experience.Expert validation from
the fields of media, content, language, and design yielded an average score above 4.5—classified as highly
feasible—with visual quality (4.70) and content relevance (4.65) standing out as key strengths. Testing with
30 eleventh-grade students showed a substantial improvement in understanding, with the average score
increasing from 58.2 (pretest) to 82.4 (posttest), representing a 41.6% gain. Furthermore, 87% of students reported that the multimedia helped them better comprehend chemistry concepts, while 92% found the
interface engaging and interactive.These findings affirm that combining visual, audio, and interactive
elements can significantly enhance the effectiveness of chemistry learning. Looking ahead, this multimedia
application holds strong potential for broader implementation, including personalized learning content and
the incorporation of game elements to create a more immersive experience. With adequate teacher training
and proper device availability, this innovation could serve as a sustainable solution to address the
challenges of chemistry education in schools.
