Abstract

Community service is an integral part of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, playing a crucial role in the development of knowledge and the improvement of societal well-being. As a tangible manifestation of this responsibility, the faculty members of the Chemistry Department at FMIPA, Universitas Pattimura, conducted a community service program titled "Introduction to Basic Chemistry" at SMA Negeri 42 Maluku Tengah. This program aimed to enhance students' interest and understanding of chemistry through interactive and educational approaches. The methods employed included the dissemination of information about the Chemistry Department, the introduction of basic chemistry concepts, interactive discussions, and a survey of students' interest before and after the program. The results showed a significant increase in students' interest in chemistry, with the most substantial growth observed in their interest in further exploring and pursuing studies in the field. Positive feedback from students and accompanying teachers affirmed the effectiveness of the approach used. In conclusion, this community service program successfully achieved its primary objectives and contributed positively to strengthening scientific literacy among students.

Abstract

Pendidikan kimia di SMK sering kali dihadapkan pada tantangan dalam meningkatkan motivasi dan pemahaman siswa terhadap materi yang bersifat abstrak. Oleh karena itu, kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan metode pembelajaran kimia kreatif yang dapat menarik minat siswa dan meningkatkan pemahaman mereka. Topik ini penting karena rendahnya motivasi belajar dapat menghambat prestasi akademik siswa, terutama di bidang sains. Metode pengabdian yang diterapkan dalam kegiatan ini melibatkan pelatihan guru dan siswa melalui penggunaan alat peraga sederhana dan pendekatan kontekstual yang relevan dengan kehidupan sehari-hari. Kegiatan ini juga dilengkapi dengan evaluasi berbasis observasi dan kuisioner untuk mengukur dampak dari metode yang diterapkan. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan yang signifikan dalam motivasi dan keterlibatan siswa selama proses pembelajaran, serta pemahaman yang lebih baik terhadap konsep-konsep kimia. Dengan demikian, pengembangan metode pembelajaran kimia kreatif ini tidak hanya memberikan kontribusi positif terhadap kualitas pendidikan di SMK Negeri 8 Ambon, tetapi juga dapat diadaptasi oleh sekolah-sekolah lain sebagai model pembelajaran yang efektif dan inovatif dalam meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa di bidang kimia.

Abstract

This community service aims to improve the quality of chemistry learning at SMA Negeri 45 Maluku Tengah, which has limited laboratory facilities. The majority of students come from farming and fishing families, offering potential for integrating local natural resources into contextual learning. The main challenge for the school is the scarcity of practical tools and materials, leading to difficulties for students in understanding abstract chemical concepts and reducing their interest in learning. Based on these issues, community service activities were designed to introduce simple laboratory tools and materials and develop students' experimental skills. The methodology included preparing materials and equipment (glassware, common reagents), forming a mentoring team consisting of chemistry lecturers and students, socializing the activities, conducting direct practical sessions in small groups with demonstrations, as well as analyzing results and discussions. The results showed an improvement in students' understanding and interest through active participation in practical sessions on introducing glassware, acid-base titration, hydrogen gas formation, and carbon dioxide gas identification tests. Direct observation and question-and-answer sessions indicated that students were able to understand the function of tools, perform titrations correctly, observe chemical reactions, and identify gases. The evaluation demonstrated the program's effectiveness in enhancing students' understanding and practical skills, bridging the theory-practice gap, and fostering interest in chemistry learning
