Media Edukasi Ilmuwan Muslimah Berbasis Game FPS 3D

Abstract

The advancement of digital technology has encouraged the development of interactive learning media that enhance student engagement and learning experiences. However, the representation of Muslim women scientists in digital educational media remains limited. This study developed a 3D First-Person Shooter (FPS) educational game presenting the profiles and contributions of prominent Muslim women scientists in the history of Islamic science. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The game was tested on 20 high school and university students in East Java selected through purposive sampling. Evaluation included alpha testing for technical performance, beta testing for user experience, and validation by media and content experts. The results show that the game achieved a very positive evaluation with an average user score of 4.69, with most responses rated 5 across indicators. Expert validation also placed all assessment items in the “Very Appropriate (SS)” category, confirming the feasibility of the game in terms of design, interactivity, and content accuracy. Overall, the game enhances learning motivation, strengthens students’ understanding of Muslim women scientists, and meets the criteria for an interactive and representative digital learning medium suitable for the digital-native generation.
