Abstract

Student learning motivation in chemistry is often low due to passive and less engaging learning methods, so interactive learning media are needed that can increase engagement and learning outcomes. This study aims to examine the effect of using gamification-based learning media, Wordwall, on student motivation and learning outcomes in the colligative properties of solutions. The study used a quantitative descriptive method with a sample of 35 students of class XII Sainkes 4 SMAN X Bogor Regency. Motivation was measured using a Likert scale questionnaire with six indicators, while learning outcomes were obtained from Mid-Semester Assessment scores and essay assignments. The results showed that the average student learning motivation reached 71% (good category) and the average learning outcome score was 87.2, with female students' motivation and learning outcomes slightly higher than male students, although the difference was not significant. These findings indicate that Wordwall has the potential to increase student engagement and motivation, although the descriptive design of the study does not allow for direct causal conclusions. The practical implication of this study is that the use of Wordwall as an interactive learning strategy can help teachers create more engaging, relevant, and participatory learning experiences in chemistry classes. This research is academically relevant because it highlights the understudied use of gamification-based digital media in the context of chemistry motivation and learning outcomes. The results also open up further research directions with experimental designs, larger samples, and the testing of additional factors such as digital self-efficacy or comparisons of various digital media to strengthen empirical evidence of the influence of interactive media on motivation and learning outcomes.

Abstract

Green chemistry education has become a significant approach in improving students' scientific literacy and sustainability awareness. This study examines the application of project-based learning (PjBL) model in the context of green chemistry as an innovative method to strengthen students' understanding of sustainability principles. Through literature review from various scientific sources, this study shows that the integration of PjBL in green chemistry learning can improve students' critical thinking, collaboration, and communication skills. In addition, project-based learning allows students to engage in more environmentally friendly experiments, such as the development of biodegradable materials and chemical waste management strategies. However, the implementation of this method still faces challenges, such as limited understanding of educators about green chemistry, lack of resources, and suboptimal integration into the curriculum. Therefore, intensive training is needed for educators, provision of comprehensive learning materials, and utilization of technology as a tool. With the right support, the implementation of this model can produce a generation that is more environmentally aware and able to provide solutions to global sustainability challenges.

Abstract

Learning about redox reactions is often considered difficult by students, especially because of its abstract nature and lack of connection to everyday life. In this case, an ethnochemical approach can be an effective solution to connect chemical concepts with local culture, so that students' understanding can be improved. This study aims to analyze how the integration of ethnochemical concepts in learning redox reactions can be implemented. The method used in this study is qualitative with a descriptive approach, through a literature study that discusses various academic references. The results of the study indicate that the application of ethnochemistry in learning redox reactions can be done through various cultural examples, such as the fermentation process of tape and tempeh, the use of natural dye oxidation in batik coloring, and metal processing in traditional crafts. This integration not only improves students' understanding of chemical concepts but also enriches their insights into local wisdom and environmental sustainability. With a more contextual learning approach, students can more easily relate theory to real practice. This in turn can increase their interest and understanding of chemistry.

Abstract

Chemistry education has a strategic role in shaping students'awareness of global sustainability issues such as climate change andpollution. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Case-Based Learning (CBL) in integrating sustainability values intochemistry learning, while improving students' scientific literacy andcritical thinking skills. The method used is a literature study byanalyzing various sources, including journals, books, and relatedarticles. The results of the study indicate that the CBL approachsuccessfully connects chemical concepts (eg polymers and greenchemistry) with actual issues such as plastic waste and renewableenergy, so that learning becomes more contextual. In addition, thecombination of CBL with STEM-based Project-Based Learning(PjBL) has been shown to train students in problem analysis, data-based decision-making and sustainable solution development.Implementation challenges include lack of teacher training andlimited resources, which can be overcome through pedagogicaltraining, collaboration with industry, and utilization of technology(such as augmented reality). The conclusion of the study confirmsthat the integration of CBL and sustainability values in thechemistry curriculum not only strengthens scientific understandingbut also shapes students' characters who care about theenvironment. Recommendations for further research include long erm evaluation of the impact of CBL on student behavior as well the development of local wisdom-based modules (ethnoscience)

Abstract

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea) is a vegetable that is rich in vitamins, fiber and minerals. Fermenting cabbage into sauerkraut is one solution to increase shelf life while producing functional food products. This research aims to analyze the characteristics of sauerkraut fermented from cabbage with the addition of yellow pears (Pyrus nivalis) as a source of natural antioxidants. The fermentation process is carried out naturally for five days with the addition of salt to support the growth of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Evaluation of results is carried out through organoleptic tests (taste, aroma, texture), pH measurements to determine the acidity level, as well as analysis of lactic acid levels as an indicator of fermentation activity. The results showed that sauerkraut made from cabbage with the addition of yellow pear had good sensory characteristics, a pH value in the safe range for consumption, and lactic acid levels that were in accordance with fermented product standards. The addition of yellow pears is thought to contribute to the sensory quality and antioxidant compound content of the final product.

Abstract

The Socio-Scientific Issues (SSI) approach is a learning strategy based on social issues related to science, which aims to improve students' scientific literacy and critical thinking skills. And this approach is able to improve students' scientific literacy and social awareness by connecting chemical concepts to real-world social challenges. This literature review examines the effectiveness of SSI-based learning in improving critical thinking, argumentation skills, and contextual understanding among students. The research method used is a literature review using 10 journals as findings showing that SSI encourages deeper engagement by connecting chemistry to issues such as environmental pollution, industrial waste, and sustainable development, making learning more relevant and meaningful. However, challenges such as limited teacher familiarity with SSI integration, curriculum constraints, and students' difficulties in analyzing complex socio- scientific debates hinder its widespread implementation. Proposed solutions include teacher training programs, adoption of problem-based and inquiry-based learning models, and institutional support for curriculum development. The study concludes that SSI significantly improves scientific literacy and decision-making skills when supported by structured pedagogical strategies and institutional commitment. Future research should focus on a scalable SSI implementation framework and its long-term impact on students' social and scientific competencies.
