Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad istražuje primjenu igrifikacije i suradničkog učenja u nastavi kemije kroz razvoj obrazovne aplikacije. Aplikacija nudi interaktivno učenje kemijskih pojmova putem igara, uključujući prikaz periodnog sustava, testiranje poznavanja kemijskih elemenata, spojeva i jednadžbi te natjecateljsku igru potapanja brodova. Ključne tehnologije korištene pri implementaciji su Swift Composable arhitektura, Combine radni okvir, SwiftUI alat za sučelja i Firebase Firestore baza podataka, a sama aplikacija napravljena je za operacijski sustav iOS. Testiranje na skupini srednjoškolaca i intervju s nastavnicom kemije pokazali su kako aplikacija uspješno povećava interes i motivaciju učenika. Iako su rezultati bili pozitivni, postoje određena područja za poboljšanje, poput obogaćivanja sadržaja i tehničke pouzdanosti. Rad naglašava važnost integracije tehnologije u obrazovni proces i pruža smjernice za daljnji razvoj sličnih alata.

Abstract (english)

This thesis investigates the usage of gamification and collaborative learning in chemistry classes through the development of an educational application. The application offers interactive learning of chemical concepts through games, including a periodic table display, testing knowledge of chemical elements, compounds and equations, and also a competitive battleship game. The key technologies used in the implementation are the Swift Composable architecture, the Combine framework, the SwiftUI tool for interfaces and the Firebase Firestore database. The application is made for the iOS operating system. Testing on a group of high school students and an interview with a chemistry teacher showed that the application successfully increases students' interest and motivation. Although the results were positive, areas for improvement were identified, including content enrichment and technical reliability. The paper emphasizes the importance of integrating technology into the educational process and provides guidelines for the further development of similar tools.
