ABSTRACT:

In recent years, games have been widely used in instructional activities as game-based learning.
It was effective learning tool that improved many abilities of students such as conceptual
understanding, problem solving, critical thinking and more. In addition, using board game in
chemistry class was successful, it can provide engaging and alternative methods of instruction,
help students understand concepts and make learning meaningful. This study aim to develop
board game which use in chemistry class to improve student’s conceptual understanding on topic
of mole and chemical formulars, provides a description of the developed board game, which has
been evaluated by experts including with expert from chemistry content, learning management
and instructional media for its suitability for instructional use by using Likert’s scale and has
undergone interviews with 20 grade 10th students who participated in the gameplay. This board
game is turn-base role-playing game with action card to complete the mission. The result of
board game evaluation from experts had average in range 4.38-4.70 which mean this board game
was very to the most suitable for learning management. Result from interviewing participants
showed that this board game can make students more interested and enjoyable. Furthermore, this
board game helps students gain knowledge from the lesson and improve conceptual
understanding of the students from game’s story and key concept card.
