Abstract

The failure rate in the subject chemistry at secondary school is on the increase and this has been attributed to students not understanding most of the difficult concepts which formed the foundation of the subject. The method that teachers adopt in the teaching of the subject and the manner the subject is taught may be factors that are responsible for poor performance. The methodology used is the quasi-experimental design using the pretest post-test non-equivalent control group. Quantitative and qualitative methods were employed. The population of the secondary schools used for the study was 1231, the sample size of 173 was used which was drawn using non-random sampling technique. Chemistry Achievement Test (CAT)Chemistry Interest Inventory (CII) and semi-structured interview were used for data collection. The instruments were test piloted and the internal coefficient obtained was 0.85 while the reliability index was 0.79. Mean and standard deviation were used to provide answers to the research questions and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses. The students in the experimental group had higher interest levels with M=3.10 and Sd=0/43 for post-test compared to the students who were taught with conventional methods, with interest levels of M=2.77 and Sd=0.64. they also had higher achievement scores for the post-test in difficult chemistry concepts M=75.57 with Sd=13.76 than the control group M=63.40, SD=14.91. The think-pair-share strategy demonstrated an effective instructional approach for increasing student interest in the selected challenging chemistry topics: of solubility, hydrocarbon and metals and their compounds that were taught. The findings therefore underscore how effective this pedagogical strategy is in improving both students’ interest and achievement in these difficult chemistry concepts.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the feasibility of teaching modules based on SETS (Science, Environment, Technology, Society) to improve students’ critical thinking skills in green chemistry material. This study uses Thiagarajan’s 4D development research method with modifications from Ibrahim’s 3D method, which includes the define, design, and develop stages. Feasibility was assessed based on three aspects: validity, practicality, and effectiveness. Validity was assessed in terms of content and construct validity. Overall, in terms of content and construct validity, the module received a mode of 3 and 4, which are categorized as good and very good. Furthermore, practicality was reviewed from the student response questionnaire, which obtained an average of 94.81% in the excellent category, supported by the results of student activity observations of 89.04%, which showed active involvement in each stage of learning, and learning implementation of 97.65%, which confirmed that the entire series of activities was carried out very well. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of the teaching module based on SETS (Science, Environment, Technology, Society) can be seen from the increase in the average critical thinking skills test score from 28.72 to 83.86 with an average N-gain of 0.7718, which is in the high category. The Wilcoxon test results showed that all students experienced a significant increase (Z = -5.235; Sig. 0.000 < 0.05). Thus, the teaching module based on SETS was declared effective in improving students’ critical thinking skills in green chemistry material.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine students’ chemical literacy skills after being taught stoichiometry using a problem-based learning model. The Research design is a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample in this study was 13 new students of Chemical Engineering at PGRI Madiun University in the 2025/2026 academic year. Data collection used a context-based chemical literacy test carried out before and after PBL learning. Based on the Research, the pretest results showed that 100% of students had low chemical literacy, while the posttest results showed that 74% had low chemical literacy and 16% had moderate chemical literacy. Then, the analysis of students' chemical literacy levels from their pretest answers showed the highest percentage at the Scientific Illiteracy Level (72%) and the posttest results showed the most significant percentage at the Functional Scientific Literacy Level (32%). The implementation of PBL to improve students’ chemical literacy skills should consider several factors, such as the lecturer’s support for learning, the selection of material topics, information on students’ misconceptions in stoichiometry, and alignment between the activity design and targeted literacy indicators.

Abstract

Abstract This study aims to assess the capability of project-based learning (PjBL) methods in introducing innovations in the field of food and technology by making healthy tempeh smoothies, as a product of food chemistry courses, in order to deepen students' understanding of local foods. This study is based on the importance of understanding food chemistry that includes aspects of formulating, processing, and storing quality food products. The PjBL model was chosen because it can increase students’ learning motivation, creativity, and critical thinking skills in dealing with contextual problems. The study was conducted on 14 grade X students of Khadijah High School with a One Group Pretest-Posttest design. The research instrument was a multiple-choice test based on Bloom’s taxonomy and a Likert scale response questionnaire. The results showed a significant increase from a pretest score of 92,86 to a posttest score of 99,29. The N-Gain value of 0,89 and an effectiveness level of 88,89% indicated an increase in understanding in the high category and effective learning. Students were able to recognize tempeh as a local food with high nutritional value, understand the fermentation process, health benefits, and its potential for development into a modern beverage product. The questionnaire results showed a very positive response. The hands-on activity of making tempeh health smoothies increased student engagement, confidence, and motivation, including interest in simple entrepreneurial opportunities. Overall, PjBL learning was effective in strengthening local food literacy and fostering an appreciative and innovative attitude toward the use of tempeh as a health smoothies.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the level of misconceptions held by tenth-grade students on the topic of the Fundamental Laws of Chemistry using a summative two-tier multiple-choice instrument, as well as to determine which conceptual areas were most frequently misunderstood. A descriptive quantitative research design was employed, involving Grade X students from a public senior high school in Malang as the research subjects. The instrument consisted of 15 two-tier multiple-choice items with reasoning. Instrument validity was examined using corrected item–total correlation analysis, showing that 14 out of 15 items had correlation coefficients greater than 0.30, while reliability analysis using Cronbach’s alpha yielded a coefficient of 0.840, indicating high internal consistency. Students’ responses were analysed by categorising them into three levels: understanding (U), misconception (M), and lack of conceptual understanding (LU). The results revealed that students experienced misconceptions across several concepts related to the Fundamental Laws of Chemistry, with the highest percentage occurring in Avogadro’s Law. This study contributes to secondary high school chemistry learning by providing a valid and reliable diagnostic instrument for identifying students’ misconceptions in fundamental chemistry concepts. Overall, the average percentages of students who demonstrated understanding, misconceptions, and lack of understanding were 71%, 24%, and 5%, respectively.
