Abstract

Chemical equilibria, including acid-base equilibria, play a significant role in the learning of general chemistry. Acid-base reactions as well as acidity and basicity concepts and their relationship to titrations are an important part of any general chemistry course, and students have difficulties understanding these concepts.  The purpose of this research project is to examine some of the challenges and alternative conceptions that students face in learning about acid-base titrations. A Likert-type survey with open-ended questions were used to assess the understanding of 110 participants. The investigation took place at a public, urban, and minority-serving institute. Our data suggest that students struggle with learning about acid-base titration problems and concepts. They rely on algorithmic problem solving, rote- learning, plugging into equations, and calculator use when approaching acid-base titration problems instead of developing their conceptual understanding and meaningful learning of the concepts. Additionally, our data support the notion that development of conceptual understanding of acid-base titration is important for students’ learning. Furthermore, our research data suggest that students have difficulties with understanding and visualizing what is taking place at the microscopic level during acid-base titration reactions. Instructors should consider teaching strategies that include leaning about and interrelating the symbolic, macroscopic, and microscopic levels of representations which can promote learning and deeper understanding of abstract chemical concepts. We recommend that instructors explicitly address and relate the three levels of representation in their teaching of chemistry concepts. Keywords: chemistry education research, acid-base titration, challenges

Abstract

This study examined the effect of concept mapping teaching strategy on Senior Secondary Students’ misconceptions about chemical bonding in Rivers State. Mixed method design, specifically, exploratory mixed method design was adopted. The sample comprised 174 SS2 Students. The instruments were Chemical Bonding Misconceptions Diagnostic Test and Interview Schedule validated by two Science Education Lecturers. The reliability coefficient of 0.87 for the Chemical Bonding Misconceptions Diagnostic Test was determined by test-retest method using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient formula. Careful piloting of the interview schedule was carried out, and the use of scientific terms as well as discussions were avoided to ensure reliability of the interview schedule. Research questions were answered using percentage and hypotheses tested at 0.05 level of significance using Analysis of Covariance. Findings of the study revealed a remarkable reduction in the high extents of students’ misconceptions about chemical bonding on the use of concept mapping strategy while negligible reduction was found with lecture teaching method. Also, statistically significant difference in the misconceptions of students taught with concept mapping strategy and those with lecture method was found.  This suggests that students’ misconceptions about chemical bonding were corrected on application of concept mapping strategy. There was gender related difference in misconceptions of students taught chemical bonding using concept mapping strategy. It was recommended among others that; teachers should embrace the use of conceptual change strategies such as concept mapping in teaching chemical bonding and other abstract concepts in chemistry. Also, students’ misconceptions should be identified at the beginning of the lesson to facilitate correction. Keywords: misconceptions, concept mapping, chemical bonding, and teaching strategy

Abstract

The impact of advanced technology is perceived in every sector, including education. As the Ministry of Education and Culture program, distance learning has become applied in Indonesia, especially with this pandemic COVID-19. The learning model used in the course will affect student understanding in this situation, especially for an experimental study that aims to enhance student skills in the laboratory. The virtual laboratory practice is an additional learning model used in Environmental Chemistry Laboratory Course. Before, the Environmental Laboratory Course used only video to deliver learning materials. This research is experimental research that aims to evaluate the additional virtual laboratory practice's impact on student grades compared to the previous method. The research result was obtained by comparing the practical course's assessment results in 2019/2020 to 2020/2021. A questionnaire was also used to collect student opinions about the new learning method. The number of samples in this research was 395 students. The results show that the average students' grades using explanatory video only is 89, then with additional virtual laboratory practice are 88. From the questionnaire, 46% of the respondent said the application increased their understanding of the learning materials, and they also enjoyed using the application. It could be concluded that the virtual laboratory practice did not improve the assessment result of the course but enhanced the student interest. Keywords: Distance learning, Laboratory course, virtual laboratory practice

Abstract

Higher education for chemical engineering is required to fulfill several aspects of the required skill and knowledge requested by stakeholders, including professional societies, company partners, accreditation boards, and national standards. Ministry of education of Indonesia under Makarim administration also mandated more liberal practice in Indonesian higher education as jargoned as "Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM)" means "freedom to learn, freedom campus". These several aspects, combined with the current COVID-19 pandemic, bring a massive problem in the curriculum. Herein, we discuss and propose a dual system curriculum to accommodate the government standard's requirement, minimize the gap between education and industry, and the professional association. The initial implementation in two universities is observed and the challenges, future direction and lesson learned are discussed. We expect the curriculum gives the student experience learning in the classroom and a live laboratory in conjunction with MBKM's spirit.
