Abstract

This study aims to analyze students' mental models in chemistry, identify persistent misconceptions, and explore instructional strategies that facilitate conceptual change. A systematic literature review (SLR) approach was employed, examining 15 selected studies published between 2014 and 2024 from reputable academic sources. The findings reveal that synthetic models dominate students' understanding across various chemistry topics, indicating a mix of correct and incorrect scientific conceptions. Misconceptions are particularly prevalent in chemical equilibrium, redox reactions, and acid-base concepts, where students struggle to integrate macroscopic, submicroscopic, and symbolic representations. The study also reviews instructional strategies, including inquiry-based learning, model-based reasoning, and technology-enhanced approaches such as augmented reality (AR) and computer simulations. While these methods improve conceptual understanding, the transition from naive to scientific models remains challenging. The results highlight the need for interactive, multi-representational teaching methods to promote a more robust conceptual framework in chemistry learning. This review contributes to chemistry education by providing insights into effective pedagogical approaches for addressing misconceptions and improving students' conceptual development.

Abstract

This study examines the significance of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) in chemistry education, specifically its role in pre-service chemistry teacher training. Through a comprehensive review of 14 articles, the research identifies key themes related to the development, application, and impact of PCK on chemistry teaching practices. The majority of the articles emphasize the importance of integrating PCK into teacher training programs, highlighting the effectiveness of practice-based and constructivist learning approaches to bridge the gap between content knowledge and teaching strategies. PCK was found to influence teaching methodologies, allowing teachers to tailor their approaches to specific chemistry topics and manage classroom dynamics effectively. However, the study also reveals significant gaps in the application of PCK in classroom management and assessment practices, areas that require further exploration. The findings suggest that although PCK plays a critical role in improving teaching quality, its integration into classroom management and assessment is still underexplored. The research recommends future studies to focus on these areas, particularly in secondary and higher education settings, to refine the application of PCK across various aspects of chemistry teaching. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of PCK's role in teacher preparation and offers directions for future research to enhance the development of pre-service chemistry teachers and improve overall teaching effectiveness.

Abstract

The urgency of this research lies in the need to explore and compare the effectiveness of two distinct teaching strategies, mind mapping and summarizing, within the flipped classroom model, considering the challenges in determining the most effective method to enhance student learning outcomes across various disciplines, as well as understanding factors that may influence learning success, such as student engagement and material quality. This study examines the effectiveness of the flipped classroom model in enhancing students' learning outcomes, focusing on two distinct instructional strategies: mind mapping and summarizing. Using a posttest-only control group design, the research compared two groups: Class A (mind mapping) and Class B (summarizing), each consisting of 20 fifth-semester chemistry education students. Students engaged with materials independently before class and presented their understanding using their respective methods. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk test for normality, Levene's test for homogeneity of variances, and the Mann-Whitney U test for comparing post-test scores. The results showed that Class A followed a normal distribution (p > 0.05), whereas Class B did not meet the normality assumption (p < 0.05). However, the Levene's test indicated homogeneity of variances between the groups (p > 0.05). The Mann-Whitney U test revealed no statistically significant difference in post-test scores (U = 156.5, p = 0.244), with mean scores of 86.83 for Class A and 86.42 for Class B. Effect size analysis using Cohen's d demonstrated a negligible effect (d = 0.06), suggesting equivalent effectiveness between the two methods. These findings highlight that both mind mapping and summarizing are equally effective within the flipped classroom model, reinforcing its versatility in diverse learning contexts. Future research is recommended to explore additional factors, such as student engagement and material quality, that may influence learning outcomes in this instructional model.

Abstract

  ABSTRACT: This study investigates the competence of pre-service chemistry teachers at Universitas Negeri Makassar in designing psychomotor assessment instruments for basic chemistry laboratory practices. Employing a descriptive quantitative approach, the study aimed to evaluate the alignment of these instruments with laboratory procedural guidelines and identify challenges faced by pre-service teachers. A sample of 30 students, selected through random sampling, participated in project-based tasks to develop psychomotor instruments corresponding to six basic chemistry laboratory activities. Data were collected through skill tests and questionnaires, analyzed descriptively to determine the alignment and effectiveness of the instruments. The findings reveal that most instruments demonstrated strong alignment with procedural steps, particularly in the cases of Solution Preparation and Separation Techniques, which received high scores for clarity, well-structured rubrics, and ease of implementation. However, challenges were noted in integrating explicit safety protocols and balancing the level of difficulty in instruments such as Redox Reactions and Functional Group Identification, which exhibited minor discrepancies. The study underscores the importance of aligning assessment instruments with laboratory standards and enhancing training programs to address both cognitive and psychomotor dimensions effectively.
