Abstract

The abstract nature of chemistry often leads to low student comprehension, a problem exacerbated by a lack of teaching materials that connect concepts to real-world situations. This research aimed to develop a valid, practical, and effective contextual teaching module on the colloid system using Four Steps Teaching Material Development (4STMD) method. The research following the stages of Design, Development, and Evaluation (DDE). The module's unique context is the application of colloid chemistry principles to the treatment of tofu liquid wastewater using Moringa oleifera seeds as a natural coagulant. The development process followed the four stages of 4STMD: Selection, Structuring, Characterization, and Didactic Reduction. The module's quality was evaluated by three expert chemistry teachers and tested for understandability with 63 high school students. The results of the expert validation indicated that the module is Very Feasible, with high scores in content (95.2%), language (85.7%), presentation (93.7%), and graphical feasibility (85.3%). Furthermore, the student understandability test yielded an average score of 93.33%, categorizing the module as "High" and suitable for independent learning. It is concluded that the 4STMD method successfully produced a viable and effective contextual module that bridges the gap between abstract chemical concepts and their practical, sustainable applications.

Abstract

The merging of adaptive chemistry subjects (C.1) into the IPAS project subject in the Independent Curriculum causes the chemistry content to be non-specific and not adapted to all vocational elements. This has the potential to hinder students' understanding of relevant chemistry concepts in their vocational context. This study aims to design an outline of chemistry teaching materials that are relevant to the needs of dyeing subjects in Textile Finishing Engineering VHS. The method used is Qualitative Content Analysis (QCA) with four stages to obtain and evaluate chemistry content related to the dyeing context. The results show that there are 19 chemistry contents that have been systematically arranged and validated based on the sequence, details, and their relationship to the dyeing context. For example, the content of electrolyte solution, acid base, ion equilibrium in solution, and reaction rate plays an important role in regulating the affinity of dyes to fibers and the speed of the dyeing process. This outline is useful for teachers or education practitioners as a clear guide to integrating chemistry content and vocational contexts into learning or teaching materials. For students, it can help them understand chemistry concepts that are more contextual and applicable to their vocational fields.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relevance and integration of contextual chemistry content, particularly focusing on redox reactions in the context of corrosion in automotive chassis maintenance, into the vocational education curriculum of Light Vehicle Engineering (Teknik Kendaraan Ringan Otomotif/TKRO) programs. Utilizing the Qualitative Content Analysis (QCA) method, this research examines curriculum documents, IPAS (Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam dan Sosial) modules, and interviews with both science and vocational teachers to identify gaps between chemistry teaching and vocational practices. The results reveal that essential chemical concepts such as oxidation-reduction reactions, electrochemistry, and corrosion science are currently absent or underrepresented in the general science curriculum. These omissions hinder students’ understanding of crucial maintenance procedures related to metal degradation, material selection, and protective treatments. The study proposes a contextualized chemistry material outline to bridge this gap, enabling vocational students to apply scientific principles effectively in real-world automotive settings. Findings from this study advocate for the incorporation of redox and electrochemical content in vocational science education to enhance both conceptual understanding and technical competency.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a contextual colloidal system module with a batik wastewater treatment context that is suitable for senior high school students. The development of this module is motivated by the widespread use of teaching materials that do not fully align with curriculum demands, focusing solely on scientific content without applying a contextual approach. The research method employed is Design Development Evaluation (DDE), while the development of the teaching material follows the Four Steps Teaching Material Development (4STMD) model. In the design stage, analysis and planning of the type of teaching material to be developed were conducted, resulting in an initial draft of the module. The development stage, based on 4STMD, consists of four steps: selection, structuring, characterization, and didactic reduction, leading to the creation of a draft teaching material. The evaluation stage involved feasibility testing by chemistry teachers and experts, and comprehensibility testing with students. The evaluation results indicate that the developed contextual teaching material, based on the batik wastewater treatment context, is aligned with the curriculum, conceptually accurate, and feasible for use as independent learning material. The feasibility test yielded a percentage score of 95.4%, and the comprehensibility test yielded a score of 92%.

Abstract

Teacher certification is a fulfillment of professional competence. In Bengkulu City, many junior high school science teachers are still uncertified. Therefore, mapping is needed to see the number of the junior high school science teachers who are certified and uncertified in Bengkulu City. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods through observation and interviews. The results showed that 109 junior high school science teachers in Bengkulu City are already certified and 65 are uncertified. There are 114 junior high school science teachers in Bengkulu City who are civil servants and 60 non-civil servants who teach in 47 junior high schools in Bengkulu City. Meanwhile, teachers who are called to join the in-service certification program must pass the Teacher Competency Test (UKG), which causes some teachers to fail to follow the next stage in the in-service teacher training program (PPG). Therefore, in order to fulfill the mandate of the Teachers and Lecturers Law 2015, it is recommended that the Bengkulu City Goverment and the Ministry of Education and Culture implement an accelerated teacher certification program to ensure that teachers are professional.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a challenge-based corrosion e-book with a chassis coating context using the Four Steps Teaching Material Development (4STMD) method and to evaluate its effectiveness in enhancing vocational students’ concept understanding and creative thinking skills. A design and development research approach was employed, comprising design, development, and evaluation phases. The e-book was developed through the 4STMD stages of selection, structuring, characterization, and didactic reduction, yielding ten concept labels on corrosion and redox reactions contextualized within automotive chassis maintenance. The product was validated by expert reviewers and tested with 20 grade XI students of a Light Vehicle Engineering program at a vocational school in Bandung, Indonesia. Expert evaluation indicated that the e-book was highly feasible across content, language, presentation, and graphic criteria. Student comprehensibility reached an average of 92%. A one-group pretest–posttest design with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test revealed statistically significant improvements (α = 0.05) in both concept understanding and creative thinking skills, the latter measured through Torrance’s indicators of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. A Spearman correlation of r = .985 confirmed a very strong positive relationship between the two outcomes. These findings suggest that integrating challenge-based learning with the 4STMD method in a vocationally relevant e-book effectively may support higher-order thinking skills in vocational chemistry education students.
