Abstract

This study aimed to determine the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of a Chemistry Pocket Book (CPB) with a Mind Mapping Strategy to improve students’ creative thinking skills on the topic of the Periodic Table. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the 4-D model, which was limited to the Develop stage. The validation involved three validators, consisting of two chemistry lecturers and one chemistry teacher. The field trial involved 25 tenth-grade students at SMAS Surabaya. The research instruments included validation sheets, student response questionnaires, observation sheets, creative thinking tests, and mind mapping assessment sheets. The data were analyzed using mode, percentage, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, the paired-samples t-test, and N-Gain. The results showed that the developed CPB was valid, with the mode values for the validity aspects ranged from 4 to 5. The students’ responses reached 92.01%, indicating that the CPB was highly practical. The effectiveness results showed an average N-Gain of 0.78 (high category) for students’ ability to construct mind maps and 0.76 (high category) for their creative thinking skills. The paired-samples t-test also showed a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores (p < 0.05). Therefore, the developed CPB with a Mind Mapping Strategy is valid, practical, and effective for supporting students’ creative thinking skills on the topic of the Periodic Table.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to produce student activity sheets (SAS) of project based learning to improve student’s creative thinking skills. This research used the Research and Development (R&D) method. with a 4D model, which includes the definition stage, design stage, development stage, and dissemination stage, but in this study, it was limited into the development stage. In this study, limited trials were conducted on 34 tenth grade high school students who had previously studied green chemistry material. The feasibility of the student activity sheets was reviewed in terms of validity, practicality, and effectiveness. The validity aspect obtained a mode of 4 with a good category. The practicality aspect, which was observed from the student response questionnaire, student activities, and implementation, obtained percentages of 96,9%, 95,5%, and 100%, respectively. The effectiveness aspect was reviewed from the improvement in students' creative thinking skills, the results of the improvement of creative thinking skills are stated with an average n-gain score of ≥ 0,7 in the high category. These results were also supported by the Wilcoxon test, which obtained a significance of 0,000 < 0,05. Based on its validity, practicality, and effectiveness, the student activity sheets (SAS) developed is suitable for use as a learning media.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the feasibility of teaching modules based on SETS (Science, Environment, Technology, Society) to improve students’ critical thinking skills in green chemistry material. This study uses Thiagarajan’s 4D development research method with modifications from Ibrahim’s 3D method, which includes the define, design, and develop stages. Feasibility was assessed based on three aspects: validity, practicality, and effectiveness. Validity was assessed in terms of content and construct validity. Overall, in terms of content and construct validity, the module received a mode of 3 and 4, which are categorized as good and very good. Furthermore, practicality was reviewed from the student response questionnaire, which obtained an average of 94.81% in the excellent category, supported by the results of student activity observations of 89.04%, which showed active involvement in each stage of learning, and learning implementation of 97.65%, which confirmed that the entire series of activities was carried out very well. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of the teaching module based on SETS (Science, Environment, Technology, Society) can be seen from the increase in the average critical thinking skills test score from 28.72 to 83.86 with an average N-gain of 0.7718, which is in the high category. The Wilcoxon test results showed that all students experienced a significant increase (Z = -5.235; Sig. 0.000 < 0.05). Thus, the teaching module based on SETS was declared effective in improving students’ critical thinking skills in green chemistry material.
