Abstract

Curriculum is a plan used to guide teaching and learning activities. This study aimed to identify the alignment of the Chemistry Education Study Program curriculum documents at University X with the merdeka belajar kurikulum merdeka (MBKM) policy, evaluate its implementation, and assess lecture and student perceptions regarding MBKMs impact on prospective teachers competencies. A case study approach was employed, utilizing analysis of curriculum document, observation of course, questionnaires, and interviews. Data collected through triangulation were then analyzed descriptively. The results indicated that the curriculum documents were aligned with the higher education curriculum development guide-MBKM, including the formulation of graduate profiles, learning outcomes, curriculum maps, and course plans. These elements supported prospective teachers in developing competencies relevant to field demands and enabled student participation in MBKM activities. The MBKM implementation in this study program showed active involvement of lecture and students in activities such as kampus mengajar and wirausaha merdeka, which positively impacted prospective teachers' competencies. Institutional support was a key factor in the programs success. However, areas for improvement remained, particularly in the use of innovative learning methods such as problem based learning, project-based learning, discovery, and inquiry to help enhance prospective chemistry teachers' critical thinking skills

Abstract

Research on chemistry education has consistently centered on students' conceptual and procedural knowledge. However, there is a clear need to prioritize how learners apply chemical thinking to address complex real-world problems. This gap highlights the need to understand how students and teachers connect molecular-level reasoning with broader social, ethical, and environmental contexts. A systematic review is the clear solution to address this issue. It will map trends, gaps, and strategies that foster the development of chemical thinking. This study provides a comprehensive overview of chemical thinking research in chemistry education through bibliometric and thematic analysis. A total of 59 scopus-indexed articles published between 2012 and 2025 were analyzed using the bibliometrix package in R and the biblioshiny interface. The analysis focused on publication trends, thematic evolution, collaboration networks, and instructional strategies. The results are clear: most studies target secondary and undergraduate learners, emphasizing causal reasoning, structure, property relationships, and representational competence. However, there are significant gaps in research concerning preservice teachers, assessment practices, and contextual approaches such as project-based and socio-scientific learning. Future studies must integrate reasoning, modeling, and sustainability-oriented frameworks. Effective strategies include inquiry-based, reflective, and socially relevant approaches. These approaches promote conceptual understanding and ethical reasoning. They offer valuable guidance for curriculum innovation and teacher education in chemistry
