Abstract


This study aims to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of the "Demis" Educational Game in improving students' conceptual understanding of environmental degradation. The study employs the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and the administration of needs assessment questionnaires, expert validation questionnaires, response questionnaires, as well as pre-test and post-test assessments. Data analysis was conducted using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Validation results showed approval ratings of 100% from media experts, 94% from language experts, 100% from lecturer subject-matter experts, and 100% from teacher subject-matter experts. The N-Gain test yielded a score of 0.55 (categorized as "medium"), indicating an improvement in students' conceptual understanding of environmental degradation. Response rates were 100% for teachers and 99.6% for students. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the Demis Educational Game be implemented more widely in school learning processes by adapting the product for different topics or educational levels and conducting further trials to assess the consistency of its effectiveness.
