Abstract

This study aims to overcome the difficulties experienced by biology education students in studying basic chemistry courses, with a primary focus on improving their learning outcomes. Before conducting the research, a survey questionnaire on learning difficulties in chemistry was conducted. Based on the results of the questionnaire survey, many students which 58.3% of students reported having significant difficulty in studying chemistry, while 41.7% agreed that chemistry was difficult. consider chemistry a difficult subject, resulting in a lack of motivation, boredom, drowsiness, and difficulty understanding the material in a short time. To address this challenge, the jigsaw cooperative learning model is applied. In this approach, students are divided into two groups: the original group and the expert group. The expert group is tasked with exploring and discussing certain topics, which are then shared with the original group. Before learning begins, students are given a pretest to measure their initial understanding, followed by the learning process using the jigsaw model, and ending with a posttest to assess the increase in understanding. The increase in learning outcomes is calculated using the N-Gain score, and the analysis results show that the average N-Gain score across the four basic chemistry subtopics (the nature of chemistry, scientific methods, the classification of materials in chemistry, and the physical and chemical properties of materials) falls into the high improvement category. These findings indicate that the application of the jigsaw cooperative model is effective in improving chemistry learning outcomes for students majoring in biology education. Additionally, the results of the learning satisfaction questionnaire indicate that the learning process runs smoothly and without significant obstacles, allowing for optimal learning outcomes.

Abstract

The science learning process is anticipated to be able to offer an independent learning experience by utilizing previously acquired skills, namely science process skills. Based on the needs analysis, students get bored easily, are lazy, and find it difficult to accept science learning. In addition, worksheets and printed books that are used as learning resources have not implemented current technological developments, as a result students are bored and less interested. Teachers as science learning practitioners still find it difficult to provide learning media that have the capacity to pique students' interest. So, this research was conducted to develop an e-module centered on scientific process skills in the area of substance stress and its practical application, as well as evaluating its efficacy. The methodology employed in the research was the ADDIE R&D model which was carried out in class IX at SMP Nasional Malang. Data collection was done through student analysis questionnaires, media validity questionnaires, material validity questionnaires, student readability test questionnaires, and practicality test questionnaires by science teachers. Overall, the validity of the material is 92%, the validity of the media is 97.2%, the readability of students is 86.61%, and the practicality of science teachers is 99%. Therefore, this e-module is very feasible and effective to be applied to the science learning process in junior high schools on substance stress and its application in daily life.

Abstract

  ABSTRACT: This study investigates the competence of pre-service chemistry teachers at Universitas Negeri Makassar in designing psychomotor assessment instruments for basic chemistry laboratory practices. Employing a descriptive quantitative approach, the study aimed to evaluate the alignment of these instruments with laboratory procedural guidelines and identify challenges faced by pre-service teachers. A sample of 30 students, selected through random sampling, participated in project-based tasks to develop psychomotor instruments corresponding to six basic chemistry laboratory activities. Data were collected through skill tests and questionnaires, analyzed descriptively to determine the alignment and effectiveness of the instruments. The findings reveal that most instruments demonstrated strong alignment with procedural steps, particularly in the cases of Solution Preparation and Separation Techniques, which received high scores for clarity, well-structured rubrics, and ease of implementation. However, challenges were noted in integrating explicit safety protocols and balancing the level of difficulty in instruments such as Redox Reactions and Functional Group Identification, which exhibited minor discrepancies. The study underscores the importance of aligning assessment instruments with laboratory standards and enhancing training programs to address both cognitive and psychomotor dimensions effectively.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and map research trends on the application of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in chemistry education in Indonesia using the systematic literature review (SLR) method. The study involved secondary data sourced from the SINTA database for publications between 2015 and 2024. Articles were identified using the keywords "problem-based learning" and "chemistry", with inclusion criteria comprising: (1) studies implementing PBL in chemistry learning, (2) published between 2015 and 2024, (3) document type limited to peer-reviewed articles, and (4) articles indexed at least by Sinta 3. Out of an initial 182 articles retrieved, only 21 articles met the inclusion criteria after screening. The results indicate the PBL model has been implemented using various approaches, strategies, and media, demonstrating its effectiveness in improving students' learning outcomes, critical thinking skills, and engagement in chemistry education. The most frequent research focus was on learning outcomes, followed by learning activities and critical thinking skills, while other variables such as scientific attitudes, self-efficacy, and collaboration also received attention. PBL's adaptability, including integration with STEM and digital media, enhances its relevance to modern learning demands. This study highlights the significant role of PBL in fostering student-centered learning and bridging theoretical and practical aspects of chemistry. Limitations in database scope and inclusion criteria highlight the need for broader reviews. Future studies should include meta-analyses and explore interdisciplinary applications to enhance PBL's potential in chemistry education. These findings offer valuable insights for educators and researchers aiming to optimize PBL in Indonesian education
