Abstract

The concept of acid and base is abstract in nature, yet has many concrete applications in daily life, so students need learning media that can bridge this abstraction. One medium that can be used for this purpose is a chemistry magazine. Beyond presenting non-textual, semi-scientific acid-base readings, the chemistry magazine developed in this study, entitled “Chemistry,” was deliberately oriented toward students’ creative thinking skills. This study therefore aimed to develop a chemistry magazine oriented toward creative thinking skills on the acid-base concept and to examine its feasibility and its effect on students. The method used was Research and Development (R&D) with the 4D model, involving eleventh-grade students of SMK Al-Falah Nagreg as the research subjects. Feasibility was assessed by content experts, media experts, and media users consisting of teachers and students. The feasibility test results showed that the chemistry magazine was categorized as very feasible, with an average percentage of 82%. Students’ creative thinking skills, tested after using the chemistry magazine, reached an average score of 85.20, classified in the good category, with fluency as the most dominant indicator (92.00) and originality as the least developed (75.00). These findings indicate that the chemistry magazine is able to develop students’ creative thinking skills on the concept of acid and base.
