Abstract

In an ideal school, laboratories are an integral part. However, not all schools in Indonesia have adequate laboratories, or even laboratory space. One alternative is to utilize virtual laboratories. Utilization of virtual laboratories is a viable and efficacious approach for practicum implementation, offering a potential solution to the constraints associated with laboratory equipment. However, the majority of virtual laboratories are not compatible with android devices due to the size of the data required to download the necessary applications. Furthermore, there is a paucity of android-based virtual laboratories, and even those that exist often require internet data during operation. In light of the aforementioned considerations, the objective of this research is to develop an android-based virtual laboratory learning media. This research employs the ADDIE development method to create an android-based virtual laboratory that utilizes minimal internet data, with the majority of data being used only during the installation process. Once the application is installed, the virtual laboratory can be utilized without requiring an internet connection. The findings indicated that the virtual laboratory met the standards of validity as determined by expert evaluation. Moreover, preliminary trials conducted with 24 students at SMP Negeri 2 Gorontalo revealed that 83% of students provided highly positive feedback, while 17% offered positive responses. Additionally, the findings indicated that students exhibited commendable autonomy in their learning process when utilizing an android-based virtual laboratory

Abstract

The main problem in this study is the low level of students critical thinking skills (CTS) in chemistry learning caused by ineffective learning models that do not support CTS development. The importance of CTS has not been reflected in classroom practices. Therefore, this study aims to determine the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of a TPACK-integrated discovery learning-based E-worksheet in improving students CTS on colloidal materials. This research uses the research and development (RD) method with the ADDIE model, which includes five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research subject CTS consisted of five validators and 33 students of class XII Science 1 at SMAN 1 Alalak. Data were collected using test and non-test instruments, and analyzed descriptively to determine the levels of validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the developed e-worksheet. The results show that: (1) the e-worksheet is highly valid based on content, presentation, language, and media aspect CTS; (2) it is very practical based on readability tests, student and teacher responses, and teacher ability and learning implementation observations; and (3) it is effective, as evidenced by the significant improvement of students CTS categorized as high. In conclusion, the TPACK-integrated discovery learning-based e-worksheet is valid, practical, and effective as a teaching material in chemistry learning on colloidal materials to enhance students CTS

Abstract

Science education frequently encounters challenges when teaching abstract concepts like olfactory mechanisms and nose fatigue phenomena, primarily due to limitations in interactive media and practical activities. This study developed an innovative learning solution featuring integrated animated videos and a virtual laboratory to make nose fatigue concepts more tangible and interactive. Following the ADDIE framework (analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation), our team created and validated these materials with media experts, content specialists, and educational practitioners. The validation process yielded excellent results across all quality dimensions. The animated video scored exceptionally well for its visual presentation, technical quality, and creative delivery. Similarly, the virtual laboratory earned high scientific accuracy and system stability marks. While the materials meet established educational media standards, reviewers suggested improving technical language clarity and enhancing interactivity. This research successfully bridges conceptual understanding with virtual experimentation, offering an effective approach to teaching sensory systems. The solution also accommodates content expansion for clinical applications. Ultimately, it presents a modern science learning model that addresses 21st-century educational needs, emphasizing scientific literacy and practical skill development

Abstract

Science literacy among students is fundamental to the development of the competencies and qualities needed in the 21st century. Therefore, teachers play an important role in helping students improve these skills through appropriate learning strategies. This study aims to describe students' science literacy integrated with Ethno-STEM, where the ethnoscience introduced is Sidoarjo's signature shrimp paste, using a pre-experimental design in a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research sample consisted of 31 ninth-grade students from class IX-B at one of Sidoarjo's public junior high schools. The instruments used were pretest and posttest sheets. Data collection techniques were conducted through tests, while data analysis techniques involved paired t-tests and N-Gain analysis. The t-test results showed a significant difference in the average science literacy scores before and after the implementation of the Etno-STEM-based Discovery Learning model. Additionally, the N-Gain analysis yielded a value of 0.8, which falls into the high category. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the implementation of the discovery learning model based on Etno-STEM in science education on biotechnology is effective in improving students' science literacy

Abstract

Creative and critical thinking skills are one of the demands of new skills needed by students in the current era. One of the learning models that can sharpen creative and critical thinking skills is Problem based learning (PBL). Heretofore, research related to creative and critical thinking skills with PBL in understanding static fluid material is still minimal. Therefore, this research explored it. This study aimed to analyze the effect of PBL on students' creative and critical thinking skills. This type of research is experimental with a total of 58 students, both experimental class and control class in 10th-grade science class Christian Senior High School YPKPM Ambon. The research procedure in the form of creative and critical thinking skills tests carried out during the research process and data analysis used was the independent sample t-test. The results showed that the average value of the experimental class students' learning achievement related to students' creative and critical thinking skills was higher than the conventional class. This implies that PBL facilitates in improving students' creative and critical thinking skills on static fluid.

Abstract

The ability of students to understand and use concepts is the main key in scientifically explaining various chemical phenomena in nature. This ability develops relatively, often with the development of the learner level. This study aims to understand the level of understanding of the concept of salt hydrolysis of class XI high school students and chemistry students in the I, II, III and IV years and non-chemistry students with a total sample of 875 respondents. The instrument used in this study was a four-level multiple choice test. This diagnostic test combines the measurement of knowledge and reasoning with the level of self-confidence, as a reflection of the level of mastery of concepts. The data analysis technique used is quantitative, using SPSS 25 software, namely the non-parametric test (Kruskal Wallis test), comparing the significance value (Asmp. Sig) with a probability of 0.005. The results showed that the significance value of 0.00 was less than 0.05; That is, there is a significant difference in the level of understanding of the salt hydrolysis concept of students. The level of understanding of the concept of high school students is better than the first, second, third, and fourth year students in chemistry and non-chemistry students. These findings reinforce the story that although students have experienced learning experiences at a higher level, it does not guarantee the development of mastery of understanding the concept of hydrolysis
