摘要

The aim of this research is to determine the feasibility and perceptions of teachers and students about AVALIMA, a based on android application, as a chemical literacy evaluation media. AVALIMA was developed by taking the first stage of 4D model, that is define, design, and develop without disseminate. The initial product of AVALIMA was reviewers by material expert, media expert, and peer reviewers. Furthermore, AVALIMA was also assessed by five chemistry teachers by regarding to six aspects, namely material, science literacy, construction, language, visual appearance, and program performance. AVALIMA was also tried out to ten students in the eleventh grade. The result of the analysis shows that AVALIMA is a good android-based media that can be used to evaluate chemical literacy. According to the reviewers, the application is 88.2% appropriate to be used to evaluate chemical literacy. Meanwhile, according to the students' response in using this media, it is 86.31% appropriate to be used as media to evaluate their chemical literacy. The teacher's and the students' perception toward the application is also very good.
