Abstract

In this contemporary era, social media has become accessible to almost everyone, including high school students. Most students use social media solely for networking, having conversations, sharing information, and creating web content. Social media addiction among students may cause low academic performance. While it is impossible to eliminate social media usage, providing beneficial tools can help reduce the negative impact on students. Using social media as a tool for formative assessment can help students study more efficiently. The idea of creating a quiz through an Instagram filter was developed. It is designed for students taking Chemistry for their" Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia" (SPM) as the examination follows the" “Kurikulum Standard Sekolah Menengah" (KSSM" syllabus and covers basic information about the subject. This quiz can be done by students individually using a mobile phone through the Instagram application. This Instagram filter quiz will allow students to revise and study the fundamentals of Chemistry efficiently without depending on textbooks or friends to help. On top of that, the filter enables the students to keep their fascination with STEM, all while encouraging more students to spend their time wisely on social media.
