Abstract

Students’ critical thinking skills, particularly in electrochemistry, remain low because instruction tends to be teacher-centered and makes insufficient use of interactive technology. In addition, studies investigating the use of the flipped classroom approach assisted by Edpuzzle and PhET simulations in electrochemistry learning remain scarce. Therefore, this research was conducted to examine the impact of applying a flipped classroom model integrated with Edpuzzle and PhET simulations on students’ critical thinking skills. The study used a quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group design. The research sample consisted of 12th-grade students at SMA Negeri 2 Limboto, selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument consisted of a 10-item essay test that was valid and reliable, with a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.814. The results showed that the average critical thinking ability of students in the experimental class increased from 29.17 to 74.26, with an N-Gain value of 0.63, classified as moderate. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test showed a significant difference between the pretest and posttest in both classes (p < 0.05), while the Mann–Whitney U test showed no significant difference in the pretest (p = 0.060 > 0.05), but a significant difference in the posttest (p < 0.05). Thus, the flipped classroom model supported by Edpuzzle and PhET simulations can serve as an alternative learning approach to enhance students’ critical thinking skills in electrochemistry.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the forms and levels of students’ misconceptions on chemical bonding concepts among Grade XI students at MAN 1 Gorontalo City. The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach using a three-tier diagnostic multiple-choice test consisting of 15 items covering the subtopics of basic chemical bonding concepts, ionic bonding, covalent bonding, metallic bonding, Lewis structures, and intermolecular forces. The participants were 72 Grade XI students who had previously studied chemical bonding. Students’ responses were analyzed based on the combination of answers, reasoning, and confidence levels, and then categorized into five conceptual categories: understanding the concept (PK), misconception type 1 (MK1), misconception type 2 (MK2), misconception type 3 (MK3), and lack of concept understanding (TPK). The results show that students’ overall conceptual understanding was relatively high at 82.78%, while the overall level of misconceptions reached 12.97%. The highest misconception was found in the basic concept of chemical bonding (17.36%), followed by ionic bonding (9.72%), covalent bonding (6.48%), intermolecular forces (6.60%), Lewis structures (4.17%), and metallic bonding (3.47%). Among the misconception categories, MK1 was the most dominant (7.50%), followed by MK3 (3.06%) and MK2 (2.41%). These findings indicate that although most students demonstrate a good level of conceptual understanding, misconceptions remain present in several subtopics of chemical bonding. Therefore, instructional strategies that emphasize conceptual clarification and multiple chemical representations are needed to improve students’ understanding of chemical bonding concepts.

Abstract

Students' scientific communication skills in electrochemistry have not developed optimally because learning tends to emphasize cognitive aspects. This study aims to examine the effect of applying the Prediction, Observation, Explanation, Elaboration, Write, and Evaluation (POE2WE) learning model based on Ethno-STEM on scientific communication skills in electrochemistry. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group design involving 62 students from Suwawa 1 Public High School who were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The research instruments consisted of a test in the form of seven essay questions and non-test instruments to assess scientific communication skills during the learning process. The Mann-Whitney test results showed an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value < 0.001, indicating a significant effect of the application of the Ethno-STEM-based POE2WE learning model on students' scientific communication skills. Based on the N-Gain calculation results, the scientific writing indicator was in the high category, while the information representation indicator was in the moderate category in the experimental group. In addition, the non-test assessment results showed an increase in students' scientific communication skills in three of the four indicators observed in each learning meeting.

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of the Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) approach in improving students’ conceptual understanding of reaction-rate concepts and investigated whether scientific reasoning skills moderate the effect of instructional model in a 2×2 factorial design. Forty-four tenth-grade science students from two intact classes were matched and categorized into high and low scientific reasoning groups. Conceptual understanding was measured using a two-tier diagnostic test, and assumptions for Two-Way ANOVA were verified before analysis. Results indicated a significant main effect of instructional model, with POGIL achieving higher scores than verification-based instruction (F = 20.385, p < 0.001, η² = 0.29). Scientific reasoning also significantly influenced outcomes (F = 7.328, p = 0.010, η² = 0.10). The interaction between instructional model and reasoning was not statistically significant (F = 2.559, p = 0.118), indicating that the interaction effect was not statistically significant in this sample. POGIL is theoretically expected to support integration of macroscopic, submicroscopic, and symbolic representations through guided inquiry and collaborative scaffolding. Limitations include the small sample size and quasi-experimental design. These findings highlight the potential of guided inquiry-oriented instruction to enhance conceptual understanding while emphasizing the role of reasoning skills, with cautious interpretation of non-significant interactions.

Abstract

Developing students’ critical thinking skills remains a major challenge in chemistry education, particularly in thermochemistry, which requires conceptual, symbolic, and quantitative reasoning. While STEM-integrated problem-based learning (PBL–STEM) has gained increasing attention, limited studies have examined how this instructional approach aligns with the cognitive structure of critical thinking. This study investigated the effect of the PBL–STEM model on students’ critical thinking skills in thermochemistry. A quasi-experimental design involving 64 tenth-grade students was employed. Participants were selected using purposive sampling and assigned to an experimental group and a control group. Critical thinking skills were measured using a 20-item essay test based on Facione’s framework. The instrument demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.915) and strong content validity (CVI = 0.93). Data were analyzed using an independent-samples t-test. Results showed a significant difference between groups (t = 4.997, p < 0.05), with the experimental group achieving higher mean scores (M = 80.80) than the control group (M = 65.38). The effect size (Cohen’s d = 1.25) indicates a large instructional impact. These findings suggest that STEM-integrated PBL provides a cognitively aligned framework for fostering critical thinking in chemistry learning.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a maritime-based e-module contextualized to Teluk Tomini in improving students’ scientific literacy on the topic of reaction rates at SMA Negeri 1 Suwawa. A quasi-experimental method employing a posttest-only control group design was utilized. The study involved an experimental group, which was instructed using the maritime-based e-module, and a control group, which received instruction through a conventional e-module. The findings indicate that students who learned using the Tomini Bay maritime-based e-module demonstrated significantly higher levels of scientific literacy compared to those who were taught using the conventional approach. The mean scientific literacy score of the experimental group reached 22.26, substantially exceeding that of the control group, which obtained a mean score of 11.56. Statistical analysis using One-Way ANOVA confirmed a significant difference between the two groups. The study concludes that the implementation of a maritime-based e-module is effective in enhancing students’ scientific literacy, increasing student engagement, and facilitating the comprehension of abstract concepts such as reaction rates. Furthermore, the module promotes awareness of local environmental sustainability, thereby integrating contextual relevance with scientific understanding.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan pemecahan masalah siswa pada materi kesetimbangan kimia berdasarkan tahapan Polya, menganalisis distribusi kemampuan siswa dan tingkat kesulitan butir soal menggunakan Model Rasch, serta mengidentifikasi tahapan pemecahan masalah yang masih menjadi kesulitan siswa. Penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif kuantitatif dengan pendekatan analisis Model Rasch. Sampel penelitian terdiri atas 167 siswa kelas XI, meliputi 140 siswa SMA Negeri 1 Limboto dan 27 siswa MAN 2 Kabupaten Gorontalo yang dipilih melalui teknik purposive sampling. Instrumen penelitian berupa tes uraian yang disusun berdasarkan empat tahapan pemecahan masalah Polya, yaitu memahami masalah, merencanakan penyelesaian, melaksanakan rencana, dan memeriksa kembali hasil. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan persentase dan Model Rasch berbantuan aplikasi Winsteps versi 5.8.3. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan pemecahan masalah siswa belum berkembang secara merata pada setiap tahapan Polya. Persentase kemampuan siswa pada tahap memahami masalah sebesar 78% (tinggi), merencanakan penyelesaian 43% (cukup), melaksanakan rencana 68% (tinggi), dan memeriksa kembali hasil 45% (cukup). Analisis Model Rasch menunjukkan rata-rata kemampuan siswa sebesar 0,47 logit dengan dominasi kategori tinggi, sedangkan tingkat kesulitan butir soal bervariasi dari sangat mudah hingga sulit. Tahapan merencanakan penyelesaian dan memeriksa kembali hasil merupakan aspek yang paling sulit dikuasai siswa. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa Model Rasch memberikan informasi diagnostik yang komprehensif mengenai kemampuan siswa dan karakteristik butir soal sebagai dasar penyusunan strategi pembelajaran untuk meningkatkan kemampuan pemecahan masalah.
