Abstract

The study aimed to provide an overview of the application of the model in Basic Chemistry learning and its impact on student abilities. The researchers employed a descriptive qualitative method, focusing on the Guided Inquiry Model applied in Basic Chemistry courses. The primary data source was documentation, administering the data collection technique in the form of documentation analysis involving photos of the Guided Inquiry Model activities. The findings revealed two key points: Firstly, there was an improvement in students' knowledge and insights about basic chemistry, such as recognizing that the purification of substances could effectively separate naphthalene from its contaminants. Secondly, the implementation of the Guided Inquiry Model in Basic Chemistry courses involved four stages. The process began with problem orientation, framed by the question: "When naphthalene is contaminated, how can it be separated from its pollutants?" The subsequent stage involved formulating a hypothesis through discussions, culminating in an agreed-upon alternative hypothesis: “The practice of purifying substances can successfully separate naphthalene from its contaminants.” In the exploratory stage, students engaged in practical purification activities guided by the practicum guidebook and lecturer instructions. The final stage encompassed formulating generalizations, concluding that purifying substances through sublimation could effectively separate naphthalene from pollutants. As a recommendation, this study suggested that lecturers adopt the Guided Inquiry Model because it could enhance students' understanding of the materials covered in Basic Chemistry courses.

Abstract

Misconceptions are a problem always faced in education, one of which is in the field of science, especially in chemistry. One of the chemical materials that students consider pretty challenging to understand because it is abstract, making it possible for misconceptions to occur, is chemical bonding. Misconceptions among students need to be identified quickly so they can be addressed immediately so they do not interfere with further learning. This research aims to determine the relationship between gender and the misconceptions of SMA YPK in Merauke Regency regarding chemical bonding material. Research data was analyzed quantitatively descriptively using the Polytomus Rasch Model. The respondents in this study were 76 Class X high school students who were selected using simple random sampling with 46 female and 30 male students. The research results showed that male students' average percentage of misconceptions was 31.9% (medium category), and female students were 18.6% (low type). The question indicators show that the highest percentage of misconceptions is in the question indicator for determining valence electrons; male students are 60% (medium category), and female students are 49% (medium type). Based on the overall misconception results regarding chemical bond indicators, gender influences the level of misconceptions of high school students in the city of Merauke.
