Abstract

Human ignorance in conserving, managing, and protecting the environment makes plastic pollution a real problem for the world's health and environment. Therefore, this study aims to develop environmental attitudes and awareness as well as mastery of pre-service teachers’ concepts through ESD-oriented didactic design in the context of bioplastics. This study used a Didactical Design Research (DDR) with 27 pre-service teachers. The instruments used in this study were tests, questionnaires, validation sheets, and transcripts. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that there are attitudes and awareness of pre-service teachers that need to be developed, the results of preconception data analysis of pre-service teachers experienced learning barriers in content (1) classification of biodegradable biopolymers (2) starch decomposition process (3) benefits of biopolymers in various fields (4) and the environment (5) bioplastic dilemma (6) function of materials in the manufacture of bioplastics. The validation results indicate that improvements are needed in the learning objectives and some improvements in sentence redaction in didactic situations. After the learning was applied, it was found that most of the responses that emerged from the pre-service teacher were in accordance with what was designed by the educator, and after the percentage analysis was carried out there was a development of attitudes and awareness and mastery of concepts of the pre-service teacher.

Abstract

This study aims to identify students' initial abilities in biopolymer materials as a basis for developing learning designs. This study uses a content analysis method, with participants being fourth-semester students in one of the Chemistry Education study programs, at a state university in West Java. The instrument used in this study was a descriptive test consisting of 13 questions. The results of the Initial ability data analysis showed that overall, it was identified that 41% of students had an Initial ability understanding with a sufficient category, 33% of students had a poor category, 23% of students had a good category and 3% of students had an initial ability understanding with an outstanding category. Based on these findings, several interventions are suitable as references in developing didactic designs, such as displaying learning videos related to the manufacture of simple bioplastics, graphs of development and annual production costs of bioplastics, images of bioplastic applications in various fields, and infographics related to the decomposition process and the benefits of sustainability of bioplastics.

Abstract

Kurangnya fasilitas laboratorium yang memadai dan panduan praktikum berkualitas rendah di banyak sekolah menengah atas menghambat pembelajaran praktikum kimia yang efektif. Untuk mengatasi hal ini, penelitian ini mengembangkan dan mengevaluasi panduan praktikum kimia berbasis penyelidikan terbimbing yang terintegrasi dengan prinsip-prinsip kimia hijau, menggunakan model ADDIE (berfokus pada tahap pengembangan). Validasi dilakukan oleh enam guru kimia dan dua dosen, menilai aspek-aspek seperti konten, bahasa, penyajian, dan desain. Metode kuantitatif deskriptif dalam kerangka RD digunakan untuk analisis. Panduan tersebut menerima skor rata-rata keseluruhan sebesar 4,78 dari 5, yang menunjukkan bahwa panduan tersebut "sangat layak." Secara khusus, skor untuk konten, bahasa, penyajian, dan desain masing-masing adalah 4,78, 4,82, 4,78, dan 4,75. Hasil-hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa panduan tersebut sesuai untuk meningkatkan pembelajaran kimia praktis dan menumbuhkan kesadaran lingkungan melalui kimia hijau di sekolah menengah atas.

Abstract

This research examines the effect of the discovery learning model on higher-order thinking skills in chemistry subjects at the high school level in Indonesia with a total sample of 230 students. The research method is a meta-analysis study with a range of research data from 2015-2024 based on Google Scholar indexed by Sinta. Heterogeneity test analysis using JASP version 0.8.5 shows a τ² value of 0.236 and a τ value of 0.485, with an I² value approaching 100% (CI: 74.015%–98.358%). The results indicate a high level of heterogeneity (98.358%). Therefore, a random effects model is used in the analysis. The meta-analysis results suggest that discovery learning significantly affects higher-order thinking skills (z = 4.730; p < 0.001; 95% CI). Funnel plot and Egger's tests did not show publication bias, supported by a fail-safe N value 488. The results of this study reinforce empirical evidence that discovery learning is a practical approach to chemistry learning.

Abstract

Corrosion is a natural process of metal deterioration caused by chemical or electrochemical reactions with the surrounding environment, and it commonly occurs in iron and steel. This study examined the use of electrolysis as a simple method to reduce rust on iron surfaces by applying several electrolyte solutions. The solutions tested included sodium chloride, citric acid, acetic acid, sodium bicarbonate, and water, each at a concentration of 10%, while citric acid was also varied up to 100%. Electrolysis was performed for 10 to 30 minutes on both positive and negative poles. The findings showed that sodium chloride solution gave the highest effectiveness in rust removal, with 0.93% rust loss on the negative pole and 0.58% on the positive pole. Increasing solution concentration and treatment time further improved the rust removal rate, reaching 2.50% at 30 minutes.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of the addition of additives in the form of sugar, salt, and flavorings on changes in temperature and type heat capacity in citric acid, acetic acid, and ascorbic acid solutions. The methodology used is a quantitative experimental approach with direct observation of temperature changes as well as calculation of enthalpy changes (ΔH) in various combinations of acidic and additive solutions. The results of the analysis showed that the types of additives exerted different effects on the thermal stability and heat capacity of each acidic solution. Sugars tend to provide the most optimal thermal stability with minimal fluctuations in ΔH change, while salts cause the greatest fluctuations. Flavorings show a more varied and inconsistent pattern of change. These findings provide in-depth insights into the thermal characteristics of organic acid solutions with additive modification, contributing to the development of applications in the fields of food, pharmaceutical, and applied chemistry education.

Abstract

Jam is a processed fruit product with high density and acidity, making it more stable than other fruit-based products. The jam-making process includes crushing the fruit, adding sugar, acid, thickening agents, and applying heat. Cooking temperature plays a critical role in determining the moisture content, texture, aroma, and taste of jam. This study investigates the influence of cooking temperature on the moisture content and organoleptic properties of pineapple (Ananas comosus), banana (Musa paradisiaca), and dragon fruit (Hylocereus spp.) jams. The jams were prepared by heating at various temperatures (900C, 1000C, 1100C), followed by moisture content measurement and organoleptic testing. Results showed that higher temperatures significantly reduced moisture content and enhanced sensory quality. Jams cooked at 110°C had the lowest moisture levels and the best organoleptic scores. These findings highlight the importance of temperature control in producing high-quality jam.
