Abstract

This study aimed to determine the needs of learning media in schools, the feasibility of the media created following the National Education Standards Agency (BSNP) criteria, and the effectiveness of the learning media on student learning outcomes. This research employed the ADDIE method (Analysis, Development, Design, Implementation, and Evaluation) involving 30 class X (tenth-grade) students. According to the analysis results of the Lectora Inspire media, the mean score of the content feasibility aspects was 3.88 (highly feasible), and the mean score of the presentation feasibility aspects was 3.89 (highly feasible). Furthermore, the developed media was implemented in the teaching and learning process to determine its effect on student learning outcomes. The test incorporated multiple-choice questions. In the implementation phase, the mean score of the pretest was 46.83, while the mean score of the posttest was 81.66. Afterward, the evaluation stage compared the posttest results and the school's passing grade (81.66 70), revealing that the developed learning media significantly affected student learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study aimed to produce a computer-based test instrument for higher-order thinking skills (CBT-HOTS) on the chemical bonding materials and to determine the higher-order thinking skills of students in Class X MIA at MAN Binjai Academic Year 2021/2022. This research employed the ADDIE model of Research and Development (RD). The test instrument was created in the form of multiple-choice consisting of 30 questions measuring the cognitive domains of analyzing (C4), evaluating (C5), and creating (C6). Based on the findings, the developed instrument was declared feasible for use, considering that it had met the required content validity by expert assessments using the Aiken’s V index in the range of 0.97 to 1.00 and the reliability value of 0.93. The students' higher-order thinking skills on chemical bonding materials were included in the "high" category. It was shown from the percentages of answers to the HOTS questions in each involved domain; analyzing (C4) by 28%, evaluating (C5) by 44%, and creating (C6) by 28%. Additionally, the average score was 74.64, indicating that students' higher-order thinking skills were high.

Abstract

There are many misconceptions in the chemistry discussion that can influence students to acquire new knowledge, one of which is regarding buffer solutions. It is one of the chemical concepts consisting of abstract ideas which likely trigger students' misconceptions. However, research on this topic was still limited. Thus, in the present study, researchers attempted to diagnose students' misconceptions about buffer solutions by administering a two-tier multiple-choice test. Research data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Respondents in this study were 98 second-semester eleventh-grade students majoring in Science in 3 senior high schools, with high (A), moderate (B), and poor (C) categories based on the 2015 National Examination's scores. The misconceptions detected were about what buffers do, what buffers are, and how buffers can do what they do. These findings were discovered in schools with a moderate category.

Abstract

The research aims to determine the effectiveness of Chemistry Scrabble (Chemscrabb) games as Instructional Media on Fundamental Laws of Chemistry to Students Learning Outcomes. This research is a research and development (RD) with designed by Posttest Only design, in which the design is based on the Thiagarajan technique. The research held on SMAN 10 Padang. Sampling selection was done by Random Cluster Sampling with the result that students of X-Science 2 as the experiment class and students of X-Science 4 as the control class. The data instruments used were a Post-test, questionnaire, and interview of two classes of the sample. The data analysis technique was a Hypothesis test by an Independent T-test sample. Based on Independent T-Test, the obtained tcount is 1.833, where the score is in the curve area, which means that accept H0 (there is no significant difference between the two samples). From the data, the research inference is that the utilization of Chemistry Scrabble (Chemscrabb) games as instructional media on Fundamental Laws of Chemistry for 10th-class sciences students is not effective for 10th-class sciences students' learning outcomes. However, students' activeness in the experiment class in the strengthening process (exercise) is higher than in the control class.

Abstract

The problem-based learning (PBL) method is one method to insert the competency targets of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). This research aims to investigate how the implementation of ESD-oriented problem-based learning to metal and non-metal chemistry practical work.  The research method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive method and the research subject is the 4th-semester Chemistry Education university students. The research result shows that the ESD-oriented PBL method is applicable in metal and non-metal chemistry practical work. Practical work with the ESD-oriented PBL method can be used as an innovation for practical learning activities to achieve the ESD target competencies. Based on the questionnaires responded by the students, it can be concluded that the practical work with the ESD-oriented PBL method could increase the students’ ability for problem-solving with percentages of 33% strongly agree and 50% agree. Practical work learning with the ESD-oriented PBL affects the students to be more active in practical work activities. The stages of the PBL method help the students develop problem-solving abilities, and this is one target of ESD competencies.

Abstract

The lack of development of learning media in schools causes students to have difficulty understanding chemical bonding material. The use of chemistry textbooks in the study of chemical bonds is not enough to reduce the abstraction of the object of the study. The lack of use of the technology-based website in developing interactive video learning media is a major problem. Measuring the student's responses to the interactive learning video on the chemical bonding material. This study uses the ADDIE development model. This study begins by analyzing the problems and limitations encountered in chemistry learning. The quality of interactive video learning media with an assessment percentage of 92.5% by media experts, 91.66% by material experts, and 88.12% by teacher practitioners. Based on the results of testing on 31 students, the percentage of assessment was 84.66% which had a very good category. Web-Based Interactive Learning Videos on Chemical Bonding Grade X in Senior High School were declared valid based on expert and practitioner assessments. Results of the assessments of these experts consistently categorize H5P as very good or good. The general assessment of this video is very good and can be used. It consists of the background, objective, methods, results, and conclusion of the research.

Abstract

In the globalization era, the ability to think critically is a crucial skill for students to navigate through tough competition. One internal factor influencing a person's critical thinking ability is Adversity Quotient (AQ). It provides an overview of how well students can respond and tackle obstacles while honing their essential thinking skills. This study explored the correlation between AQ and students' critical thinking abilities, specifically when working on chemistry problems related to salt hydrolysis. The research involved 30 students majoring in Chemistry Education, selected using a proportional stratified random sampling technique. A questionnaire was administered to measure AQ, while students' critical thinking skills were assessed through a description test. Subsequently, the data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation test, which yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.299, indicating that the correlation between AQ and students' critical thinking skills was not significant (p0.05). Further analysis is required to delve deeper into the correlation between AQ and critical thinking and identify other factors influencing necessary thinking skills.
