Abstract

This study analyzes the management of the chemistry laboratory at SMA Negeri 2 Percut Sei Tuan by integrating aspects of facilities, administration, organization, safety, and waste management. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed using observation, interviews, and documentation to obtain a comprehensive understanding of laboratory practices. The findings indicate that the laboratory has met basic operational standards and is classified as a Type I laboratory based on PERMENPAN No. 3 of 2010. However, several gaps were identified between facility availability and effective management. These include non-functional infrastructure, incomplete administrative records such as the absence of chemical labeling and stock cards, limited safety facilities (e.g., fire extinguishers and eye wash stations), and inadequate waste management practices. The study highlights that laboratory quality is determined not only by physical resources but also by the integration of management systems, safety implementation, and sustainability practices. The main contribution of this research lies in providing a comprehensive framework for evaluating school laboratory management holistically. Practically, the findings suggest the need for digital inventory systems, improved safety facilities, structured waste management, and regular occupational safety training. This study offers important implications for developing effective, safe, and sustainable chemistry laboratory management in secondary education.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology requires pre-service teachers to possess strong digital pedagogical skills to design and implement effective learning in the digital era. This study aimed to analyze the digital pedagogy skills of Generation Z pre-service chemistry teachers and examine differences based on gender and the number of software applications used. A survey method was employed involving 158 pre-service chemistry teachers from seven State Islamic Universities in Indonesia. Data were collected using a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire covering three dimensions: pedagogical orientation, pedagogical practices, and digital pedagogical competencies. The data were analyzed descriptively and using an independent samples t-test and one-way ANOVA. The findings showed that the respondents’ digital pedagogy skills were generally in the good category, with pedagogical orientation obtaining the highest mean score, followed by pedagogical practices and digital pedagogical competencies. No significant differences were found based on gender or the number of software applications used. These results indicate that although Generation Z pre-service chemistry teachers are familiar with digital technology, their ability to integrate technology pedagogically still requires further strengthening through relevant training and practical learning experiences.
