Abstract

The lack of variety in instructional media can be a starting point for the difficulty in creating an effective and enjoyable learning environment, particularly in chemistry subjects. The concepts in chemical bonding are abstract, making them difficult to apply contextually. Based on these issues, the researchers developed CHEMILARD (Chemistry Flashcard) media using augmented reality. This research employed the D&D (Design and Development) model. The subjects of this study were 6 expert validators in media and content, as well as 25 respondents. The data analysis techniques included Aiken’s analysis and percentage models. The study concluded that the validation of CHEMILARD media, developed across all assessment aspects, indicated that the product is feasible for trial implementation with a score of V=0.90 from media experts and V=0.91 from content experts. The respondents' test results showed an ideal media percentage of 90.3% and an overall media quality rating of 76.72, which is categorized as Very Good. This indicates that the augmented reality-based CHEMILARD media can significantly enhance the learning experience by making abstract chemical bonding concepts more tangible and easier to understand for students.

Abstract

In improving the quality of learning, it is necessary to develop a learning design that can facilitate the characteristics of students. The didactical design can facilitate the characteristics of students through sharing and jumping tasks. Sharing task is used to facilitate slow learner while jumping task is used to facilitate fast learner. Jumping task is not only beneficial for students with high academic ability, but also provides benefits for students with low academic ability. The purpose of this study is to develop the didactical design based on sharing and jumping tasks to enhance learning quality on the topic of reaction rate low. The research method used is didactical design research (DDR). Didactical design consisted of three steps i.e. (a) analysis of didactical situation before learning (prospective), (b) analysis of didactical situation during learning (metapedadidactical), and (c) analysis of didactical situation after learning (retrospective). The data was collected by test, observation, interview, documentation and recording (audio and video). The result showed that the didactical design on the topic of reaction was valid

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Engineering Design Project learning model based on Ethno-ESD in actualizing sustainable environmental literacy in Chemistry Education students. The method used was a quasi-experiment with the design of the One-Shot Case Study involving 46 fifth-semester students. The environmental literacy measurement instrument which includes the aspects of Sustainability Environmental, Sustainability Social, and Sustainability Economic was validated using Aiken's V analysis. After Ethno-ESD learning was applied, the test result data was analyzed through normality, homogeneity, and one-way ANOVA tests to determine the effectiveness of the treatment. The results show that all data are distributed normally and homogeneously, thus qualifying parametric analysis. The ANOVA test produced a value of F = 20.365 with a significance of 0.000, which indicates that the Ethno-ESD learning model has a significant effect on improving students' sustainable environmental literacy. This finding confirms that the integration of local wisdom with the principles of Education for Sustainable Development is able to improve students' knowledge, attitudes, and sustainable behaviors in the context of environmental chemistry learning. The Ethno-ESD model is recommended as an innovative approach to strengthen sustainable environmental literacy in higher education.

Abstract

Effectiveness in learning is the achievement of a learning process appropriate and in line with the learning objectives that have been designed, where this success can be achieved because there is a reciprocal relationship between students and educators when learning takes place so that it is able to increase students' interest in participating of learning. The aim of this research is to test the effectiveness of applying the Lithium application to reduce students' misconceptions about Chemical Equilibrium material. The type of research used in this research is research and development (R&D). Research and development is a process carried out to produce a particular product and test the effectiveness of the resulting product. Based on the results of the pretest and posttest for experimental class 1 and experimental class 2, the average percentage results for reducing students' misconceptions in the Chemical Equilibrium material using the Lithium application were 18.3% and 19.4%, respectively. With the N-Gain score level for experimental classes 1 and 2 respectively 0.70 and 0.71 in the High category, while the interpretation of the effectiveness of the N-Gain score for each experimental class is 70.04% and 70, respectively 58% are in the Fairly Effective category.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of digital literacy and intrinsic motivation on students' academic success, particularly in chemistry at SMA Negeri 1 Kerinci. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design, the research focused on 10 high-achieving students from the National Science Competition (KSN). Data were gathered through observations and in-depth interviews, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman's qualitative analysis method, which involves data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that students with strong digital literacy skills are adept at locating, utilizing, selecting, evaluating, and applying digital information to enhance their learning. These students actively seek information from reliable sources, verify its accuracy, and produce original work. High intrinsic motivation is reflected in their dedicated study habits, persistence, and thorough exam preparation. To maintain motivation, students employ strategies such as effective time management and collaboration with peers. The synergy between strong digital literacy and high intrinsic motivation significantly boosts academic achievement. Thus, fostering both digital literacy and intrinsic motivation is essential in education, especially in science.

This diagnostic test instrument development research refers to the Research & Development (R&D) development method. Data collection in this study used tests, interviews, and questionnaires. The research stage begins with potential problems, data collection, product design stage, development of diagnostic test instruments and validation by experts, validity tests, difficulty level tests, and discriminatory power tests on small-scale tests and interpretation of students' cognitive levels on large-scale trials. The results of the assessment by expert validators showed that the criteria for the developed instrument were valid. The results of the analysis of the validity of the test items obtained 25 valid question items. The results of the test of the level of difficulty of the questions obtained 11 easy criteria questions and 14 medium criteria questions. The results of the discriminatory power test obtained 25 question items with very good discriminatory power. The results of the large-scale trial showed that the average interpretation of the results of the diagnostic test instrument was 78.81%. The percentage of students who passed the test was 70.3% while the percentage of students who failed was 30%. This shows that the diagnostic test instrument is effective in that it can improve students' understanding of acid-base chemistry material.

Abstract

The topic of reaction rates is considered difficult to teach to eleventh-grade science students because it is abstract and requires strong logical reasoning as well as well-developed observational skills. This study aimed to examine the effect of the Visualization Auditory Kinesthetic (VAK) learning model on students’ generic science skills in reaction rate material. A quantitative approach with an experimental design was employed. The results showed that the VAK learning model had a statistically significant effect on students’ generic science skills, as indicated by the t-test result (t = 4.562 > ttable = 1.998 at α = 0.05). Among the assessed indicators, direct observation showed the most significant improvement, achieving the highest average score of 90%. This was followed by indirect observation (87%), causal reasoning (83%), modeling (80%), and abstraction (75%). These findings indicate that the VAK learning model is particularly effective in enhancing students’ observational abilities in learning abstract chemistry concepts. Therefore, the VAK model is recommended as an alternative instructional approach in chemistry learning.
