Abstract

Chemistry education research has demonstrated that chemistry concepts are abstract, complex, and challenging for students to learn and understand. Chemistry is the branch of science that deals with the nature and behavior of atoms, and bond formation and hybridization both play a crucial role in the discipline. The concept of hybridization deals with the description of the formation of hybrid orbitals, the prediction of bond angles and molecular geometry, and the reactivity of some organic compounds. Development of conceptual understanding of hybridization is important for effective learning about bond formation, molecular structure, bond angle, acidity, and reactivity. This research study aimed to examine alternative conceptions that students hold; the challenges that students face in learning about hybridization; and the strategies that they use to solve hybridization problems. The investigation took place at the City College of New York, an urban, minority-serving institute. Our method of data collection comprised a survey made up of Likert-type, open-ended questions as well as a hybridization-related set of problems. The number of research participants was n = 103. Our research findings suggest that developing conceptual understanding of organic chemistry concepts such hybridization and resonance structures, then relating it to the structure of molecules, is crucial to its function. The presentation of concepts such as hybridization in an oversimplified manner and students’ reliance on memorization in learning can hinder students’ development of conceptual understanding and meaningful learning. Students misestimate their competencies and abilities which can negatively impact poor performers and prevent them from addressing deficiencies in learning about hybridization. We suggest that instructors present the topic of hybridization at the three levels of representations, provide students with opportunities for active learning and knowledge construction, and nurture students’ visualization of atomic and hybrid orbitals. Keywords: science education, alternative conceptions, hybridization, atomic orbitals

Abstract

This research endeavored to assess developed and validated a proposed learning module in General Chemistry during the Second Semester, Academic Year 2021-2022 in public secondary schools in Bulacan, Philippines. Teachers play an essential role in validating and evaluation of instructional materials. As facilitators of learning, they must ensure that instructional materials serve their purpose of upholding an effective teaching and learning process. The study aimed to evaluate the proposed Grade 12 General Chemistry learning modules as perceived by Chemistry Experts and Science Teachers in the 12 public secondary schools offering STEM strand in the Division of Bulacan, Philippines. The modules are evaluated based on :(1) content, (2) format, (3) presentation and organization, (4) learning activities, (5) evaluation activities and (6) accuracy and up-to-datedness of information. The demographic profile of 11 Chemistry experts showed that the majority are female, BSED graduates in Physical Science with a doctoral degree in Development Education and 1-12 years teaching General Chemistry subject. Grade 12 Chemistry teachers are mostly females who have bachelor’s degree in Physical Sciences, with master’s units and 1-5 years of teaching Grade 12 General Chemistry in the K to 12 Curriculum. Chemistry experts and science teachers assessed the five modules using descriptive survey method employing quantitative analysis. They both evaluated the proposed learning modules satisfactory in the six dimensions. They did, however, make several suggestions for improving the proposed learning module.

Abstract

Project-based learning has been used globally as one of the effective methods to evaluate student performance in achieving the learning outcome of the chemistry subject. It became one of the priorities in implementing the new policy, Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka (MB-KM) from The Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology in Indonesia. The student at the university level can join a project-based learning program conducted outside the classroom and supervised by the Project supervisor. We proposed the project-based learning program to maximize the chemistry students’ role in solving the waste cooking oil in society. The purpose of this program was to introduce the chemistry student to the real problem in the society and allow the dissemination of their innovative idea. The information prevailed from observing the activity, interviewing the students, and evaluating the student's performance. This project-based learning presented that students accomplish the information and knowledge they gain from the classroom into actions to solve the real problem in society.  Keywords: project-based learning, Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka (MB-KM), waste cooking oil, chemistry students’ role

Abstract

This study aims to describe the effectiveness of discovery learning on electrolyte and non-electrolyte solution materials to improve problem-solving skills. This research was conducted at YP Unila Bandar Lampung High School by using the Pretest-Posttest Control Group design. The results showed that the average n-gain in the experimental and control classes were 0.68 (medium category) and 0.45 (medium category), respectively. Based on statistical test results there are differences in the average n-gain, so it can be said that discovery learning on electrolyte and nonelectrolyte solution material is effective in improving problem-solving skills
