Abstract

This study aimed to develop a learning multimedia which is based on project-based learning (PjBL) and to investigate its effectiveness in improving students’ higher order thinking skills (HOTS) in the concept of chemistry bonding. This study used a research and development (R&D) design involving the method of Lee and Owen which consisted of five stages namely analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) to develop the intended multimedia. The effect of the developed multimedia use on students’ HOTS was investigated using a one group pretest-posttest experimental design with a class of secondary high school students in Jambi city Indonesia. The research of analysis towards the development process showed that the project-based multimedia learning was successfully developed using the ADDIE method. This involved some validation results from some experts that include the chemistry expert and media learning expert who declared that it was valid and feasible to use. The results of experiments showed that the implemented multimedia was effective in increasing the participant students' HOTS after the learning process. The effectiveness was affirmed by the paired t-test (p-value = 0.000<0.05) indicating that there was a significant difference between the students’ HOTS pretest and posttest. This effectiveness was confirmed by the N-gain value of 0.58 which means that the students had experienced 58% HOTS improvement. This can thus be concluded that the developed project-based multimedia was valid and effective in improving students’ HOTS in the concept of chemistry bonding.

Abstract

Chemical literacy, the ability to integrate the understanding of chemistry with everyday life phenomena, has become a necessary skill for high school students. This skill is aimed at enabling students to develop an understanding of chemistry concepts about the environment, health, and industrial topics. This research focuses on developing and validating a chemical literacy assessment, specifically on chemical equilibrium. Afterward, the assessment was given the name Chemical Equilibrium Literacy Assessment. The development model is based on modified 4D and consists of two sets of 15 questions each. Content validity was measured using the Aiken V equation with seven expert judgments and four answer categories. To assess construct validity, the Pearson equation was used involving 100 respondents. The reliability of the assessment was calculated using Cronbach's Alpha. The results of content validity, construct validity, and quality of test items indicate that the chemical literacy assessment on chemical equilibrium material on environmental, health, and industrial topics has relatively high results. This assessment can be used to measure the chemical literacy abilities of high school students after studying chemical equilibrium.

Abstract

Enhancing scientific attitudes through education by incorporating green chemistry principles is essential, so that students can explore new ideas and information about chemistry concepts while considering environmental sustainability. This has the potential to change chemistry learning to be more meaningful. This study aims to determine the influence of the problem-based learning (PBL) model integrated with green chemistry on students' scientific attitudes. This research is a quasi experiment research with pretest-posttest control group design. The participants were XI MIPA class students who were randomly selected. The data collection method used scientific attitude questionnaire as an instrument. Data analysis includes n-gain test and hypothesis testing using t test. The results showed a sig value of 0.000 (0.000 < 0.05) and tcount of 5.136 (tcount > ttable). This indicates that there is a significant difference in scientific attitudes between students who follow the PBL-green chemistry learning model and students who follow learning with a scientific approach. The existence of this difference indicates that the PBL-green chemistry model has a positive influence in improving students' scientific attitudes.

Abstract

In recent years, the urgent need to address environmental problems has driven green chemistry in various disciplines, focusing on designing chemical products and processes that minimize hazardous materials. This research conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) to evaluate the application of green chemistry in higher education chemistry lab practices and its impact on students' conceptual understanding, practical skills, and environmental awareness. Using the PRISMA method, 46 articles were analyzed from the Scopus and ScienceDirect databases extracted from a total of 537 published between 2015 and 2024. The findings show that applying green chemistry in chemistry laboratory learning can improve students' conceptual understanding, practical skills, and environmental awareness while encouraging environmentally friendly synthesis methods. However, challenges such as limited resources and the need for additional training for lecturers still exist. Institutional support and professional development are needed to maximize implementation. In conclusion, green chemistry has great potential to create a more environmentally responsible generation of chemists, with recommendations for comprehensive integration into chemistry curricula and increased support for educators to address implementation challenges. This study provides a basis for expanding the application of green chemistry in chemistry education and preparing students to face future sustainability challenges.
