Abstract

This study aims to explore the development of understanding of the concepts of pH, acid-base titration, and buffer solutions among 11th-grade students and 2nd- and 4th-semester university students in chemistry education. It employs a cross-sectional design using open-ended questions and interview guidelines to collect data from 153 11th-grade students, 30 second-semester university students, and 40 fourth-semester university students. The open-ended questionnaire consists of 9 items (2 questions on the pH of solutions, 4 questions on acid-base indicators and titration, and 3 questions on buffer solutions and salt hydrolysis) on a continuous scale, with an Aiken's kappa validity of 0.61 (substantial agreement) and a Cronbach's Alpha reliability (KR-20) of 0.75 (acceptable). The results indicate that scientific understanding of pH concepts, such as the pH of solutions, acid-base titration, and buffer solutions, improves with education. However, comprehension of complex concepts remains low. The study's implications highlight the need for curriculum development and the selection and implementation of learning strategies that enable students to learn in a structured, gradual, and coherent manner. Curriculum development should map out subject matter, distinguish essential from non-essential content, and organize material from simple and essential topics to more complex and non-essential ones.

Abstract

In the current era of globalization, science education requires instructional strategies that not only improve student achievement but also develop metacognitive abilities essential for complex problem solving. However, traditional teaching models are still predominantly used, often limiting students understanding of abstract scientific concepts such as buffer solutions. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a STEM based flipped classroom model in enhancing students metacognitive skills and learning outcomes. A quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group was employed, involving 60 senior high school students divided into experimental and control groups. The instruments used were a learning outcome test and a metacognitive awareness questionnaire, both of which had been validated and proven reliable. The results revealed that students in the experimental group showed significantly higher improvements in both metacognitive awareness and academic performance compared to the control group. These findings suggest that the integration of technology, scientific inquiry, and real world problem solving through a STEM based flipped classroom model positively impacts students conceptual understanding and learning achievements. This study highlights the urgent need for pedagogical transformation in science education and provides evidence supporting the implementation of innovative, technology enhanced learning models to better prepare students for future challenges

Abstract

Chemistry learning focuses on understanding concepts, thus students who get difficulty understanding the concepts of chemistry learning will experience conceptual mistakes, especially abstract concepts such as chemical bonds. Students' difficulty understanding the material of chemical bonds can occur due to misconceptions. The misconceptions will hinder the construction and assimilation of new knowledge in students and thus students will experience difficulties in learning chemistry. To address such issue, an instrument for detecting misconceptions in chemistry is necessary to find out the misconceptions that occur among learners. The identification of such emerging misconceptions in understanding the subject matter can be analyzed using a three-tier multiple-choice diagnostic test. The present study was carried out to determine the presence or absence, and the percentage of misconceptions regarding chemical bonding material using the Three Tier Test diagnostic test. Conducted through purposive sampling technique, this research-based paper is a type of qualitative research with a descriptive approach. The research instrument uses a three-tier test objective test. The data obtained was analyzed descriptively for each student's response by using students' level of understanding list. In general, the results obtained in this line of research showed that; (1) Indicator 1, student misconceptions were 91.17% (2) Indicator 2, student misconceptions were 64.14%, (3) Indicator 3, student misconceptions were 67.64%, (4) Indicator 4, student misconceptions were 76.47%. (5) Indicator 5, students' misconceptions were 63.23%. By way of conclusion, the present project argues that there were misconceptions that occured in students of SMA Negeri 1 Class X Teluk Kuantan on the chemical bonding material, with the percentage 72.53% students experiencing misconceptions, 14, 98% students do not understand the concept, and the rest 12.48% students understand the concept of chemical bonding.Keywords: misconception, diagnostic test, three tier test
