Abstract

Chemistry learning often faces challenges in the form of misconceptions, especially in buffer solution material, which is abstract because it involves the concepts of chemical equilibrium and acid-base properties. This study aims to produce information about the use of diagnostic tests with the Interview-About-Event method in exploring students' mental models on buffer solution material. The research method used was descriptive qualitative on 9 grade XII students at a high school in Makassar City using in-depth interviews that asked students to explain the phenomena given. Data collection was carried out using research instruments in the form of a diagnostic test and semi-structured interviews. The answers of each student were mapped to obtain a profile of their mental models.

This material is abstract as it involves the concepts of chemical equilibrium and acid-base properties. This study aims to provide information on using diagnostic tests with the interview-about-event method to explore students' mental models. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with nine 12th-grade students from a high school in Makassar City. Data was collected through in-depth interviews that asked students to explain given phenomena, utilizing research instruments in the form of a four-tier diagnostic test and semi-structured interviews. The answers of each student were mapped to obtain a profile of their mental models. The results indicated that students' mental models revealed diversity in their responses, especially at the submicroscopic level. Their mental models tended to be simple, incomplete, and macroscopic, characterized by misconceptions such as considering equilibrium shifts to be separate from the direct reactions of buffer components, misunderstandings in using arrows for partial and complete ionization, incorrect definitions of acids, and misconceptions about buffer solutions neutralizing pH or causing pH changes. The diversity and consistency of these misconceptions underscore the importance of a pedagogical approach focused on deep conceptual understanding and the integration of multiple levels of chemical representationents' mental models revealed diversity in their answers, especially at the submicroscopic level.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan kemampuan pemecahan masalah mahasiswa dalam menyelesaikan soal materi stoikiometri pada mata kuliah kimia dasar. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah korelasi. Sampel penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa tingkat pertama D-III Hiperkes K3 di Kota Makassar yang terdiri dari 28 mahasiswa yang memprogramkan mata kuliah kimia dasar. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan instrumen yang terdiri dari 5 nomor soal bentuk esai untuk tes kemampuan pemecahan masalah, sedangkan data self efficacy diambil menggunakan wawancara dan kuesioner yang terdiri dari 9 pernyataan dengan skala likert empat skala yang diklarifikasi dengan wawancara semi-terstruktur dengan mahasiswa yang dipilih berdasarkan tingkat kemampuan pemecahan masalah dan self-efficacy yang berbeda. Wawancara ini bertujuan untuk menggali faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi kemampuan pemecahan masalah dan self-efficacy mahasiswa pada konsep stoikiometri. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan gambaran kemampuan pemecahan masalah dan self-efficacy mahasiswa pada konsep stoikiometri berada pada kategori baik. Terdapat hubungan yang sangat kuat dan positif antara variabel Kemampuan Pemecahan Masalah dan self-efficacy, dengan nilai koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,814 dan nilai signifikansi 0,000 (p < 0,01). Hasil penelitian diharapkan memberikan pemahaman komprehensif tentang kemampuan pemecahan masalah kimia dan self-efficacy mahasiswa pada konsep stoikiometri, serta implikasinya terhadap desain pembelajaran yang lebih efektif. Temuan ini dapat digunakan untuk mengembangkan intervensi yang meningkatkan kepercayaan diri dan kemampuan pemecahan masalah mahasiswa untuk keberhasilan akademik dan karir mereka.

Abstract

Chemistry education frequently struggles to foster a comprehensive understanding, often because it focuses too narrowly on macroscopic, submicroscopic, or symbolic representations. While Artificial Intelligence offers considerable potential to enhance learning, research specifically examining its impact on chemistry teaching remains scarce. This study aimed to identify, evaluate, and synthesize empirical literature on the effects of AI in chemistry teaching. This study was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA three sequential stages: 1) a comprehensive literature search in scientific databases utilizing keywords such as Artificial Intelligence, Chemistry Teaching, and Empirical Study/Research; 2) a selection process based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria; and 3) systematic data extraction. The literature review incorporated 13 empirical research articles published in Scopus- and Sinta-indexed journals. Findings consistently indicate that AI integration significantly impacts learner performance and instructional effectiveness by facilitating just-in-time, automated, and individualized feedback. Specific AI applications identified include generative tools for conceptual problem-solving, the utilization of ChatGPT/Bing Chat, gamified learning approaches, and AI assistants within remote laboratory settings. Nevertheless, this study highlights the inherent limitations of AI in addressing complex chemical content, alongside prevalent student concerns about AI accuracy, plagiarism, data privacy, and the potential for over-reliance on this technology.
