Abstract

Critical thinking skills are essential for chemistry pre-service teachers, particularly in pre-laboratory sessions. However, many students struggle to apply these skills before conducting experiments. This study aims to analyze the critical thinking profile of chemistry pre-service teachers in pre-laboratory sessions, identifying key indicators that require improvement. This research adopts a quantitative descriptive approach with purposive sampling, involving 32 second-semester Chemistry Education students enrolled in the Basic Chemistry Practicum course. The research instrument consists of 40 multiple-choice questions based on Ennis' critical thinking indicators. Data were collected through pre-laboratory tests and analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine score distribution and categorize students' critical thinking levels. Results show that most students fall into the fairly good category (62.50%), while 15.62% reached the good category. The highest-scoring indicator was defining terms (81.250, good category), while analyzing arguments had the lowest score (48.125, less category). These findings indicate that students struggle with evaluating information and connecting theories to experimental outcomes. This study provides a specific analysis of critical thinking skills in pre-laboratory sessions, an area that remains underexplored. The findings support the need for inquiry-based learning, reflective discussions, and scientific argument evaluation to enhance critical thinking skills in chemistry pre-service teachers.

Abstract

Activities with service journal managers as research targets aim to increase managers' knowledge about management and journal articles' substance quality. Manager's knowledge which is the focus of activities, refers to the accreditation assessment of national journals. The main target of community service activities is the manager of the university service journal in Semarang. The method of mentoring activities is carried out online, divided into two forms: for management and article substance. Evaluation of activities was carried out through analysis of the value of pre-test and post-test questions on journal management and article substance and questionnaire analysis of participants' feedback. The average pre-test score is 65, and the post-test is 84, indicating an increase in knowledge on the target activities. From the mentoring in publishing service journals that have been carried out, the journal manager (the target of the activity) has had broader knowledge about the management and substance of the article. The accreditation simulation in the mentoring process has provided an authentic experience for managers to be more prepared to propose accreditation and reaccreditation of service journals.
