ABSTRACT
The material of chemical bonds and molecular shapes is considered quite difficult for learning by students. In addition, boring and non-interactive learning media make it less interesting for students to learn. To overcome this, researchers developed VARITY (Virtual Reality Chemistry) learning media, which is an interactive learning application based on virtual reality technology with the topic of chemical bonds and molecular shapes. This study aims to conduct a media feasibility test and increase students’ interest in learning. The learning media design model used is ADDIE which has five stages, namely: (1) assessment/analysis, (2) design, (3) development, (4) implementation, and (5) evaluation. Based on the results of the study, it is known that the VARITY learning media is included in the very feasible criteria in terms of material and media. The final result of the average percentage of product validity in terms of material is 87.32% (very feasible) the lack of percentage is due to very little variation in the questions in the media. Meanwhile, in terms of media, the results obtained 89.30% (very feasible), due to the lack of explanatory information related to how to use, the percentage of validity is not perfect. The media that has been revised according to the validator's suggestions and comments is tested in small groups conducted by 31 students of SMAN 1 Srengat, the results are 86.14% (very feasible). So, it can be concluded that VARITY learning media can be used in classroom learning.
