Abstract

This research aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on atomic structure misconceptions, as well as identifying the best strategies to overcome them. Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to identify, study, evaluate, and interpret research results related to misconceptions in atomic structure material at the high school level. This approach was chosen because it is able to provide a systematic and comprehensive overview of various relevant research, so that it can find patterns, trends and research gaps that exist over a certain period of time. The analysis focuses on the forms of misconceptions, causal factors, and learning strategies to overcome these misconceptions which are based on the results of literacy studies, especially those originating from 10 selected articles (which were selected based on SLR-based research methods). The research results show that there are misconceptions in the concept of atomic structure starting from the concept of the atomic model, the quantum mechanical model, the Aufbau principle, the Hund principle, the Pauli exclusion principle, to the sub-atomic concept of the composition of an atom. The results of this study provide important insight for teachers and curriculum developers regarding steps that can be taken to reduce misconceptions.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a practicum guidelines for natural dyes based on Sasambo (Sasak, Samawa, Mbojo) indigenous plants to enhance students' understanding of using natural materials as eco-friendly dyes. The environmental hazards posed by synthetic dyes form the background for the importance of this research. The research method used was Research and Development (R&D) with a 4D model approach (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). The practicum guidelines includes Sasambo indigenous plants, such as Ruellia Simplex, Curcuma longa, Syzygium cumini, Areca catechu, Pouteria campechiana, Clitoria ternatea, CajanusĀ  cajan, Murraya paniculata, Pandanus amaryllifolius, Ipomoea batatas. Expert validation and lecturer evaluations demonstrated that the developed practicum guidelines for natural dyes based on Sasambo indigenous plants is suitable for use. This is evidenced by its high level of clarity, graphical appeal, and usability, enabling effective student engagement with sustainable practices. Field and laboratory analyses identified ten plants capable of producing vibrant colors, such as purple, yellow, red, orange, blue, black, and green, with added antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. The conclusion of this study is that the developed practicum guidelines can be utilized as an effective learning medium for introducing natural dyes derived from Sasambo indigenous plants, thereby contributing to promoting sustainable industrial practices by leveraging local resources for environmental and economic sustainability.

Abstract

This study analyzes the effectiveness of an inclusive learning model in sports matriculation to increase the active involvement of 3T students in college. This model is implemented through an experience-based approach, social interaction, and adaptation strategies designed. The research method uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of interviews, observations, documentation, and questionnaires to measure the level of student involvement. The results of the study indicate that the inclusive learning model increases student participation in discussions, group work, and practice-based activities. Students experience increased social skills, especially in communication and teamwork. Student self-confidence also increases along with the implementation of learning strategies that encourage their active involvement. In terms of understanding the material, practice-based and experimental methods are proven to be more effective than conventional lectures. This study provides insight into the importance of an inclusive approach in sports matriculation to increase the involvement of 3T students in college.

Abstract

This study aims to understand the influence of emotions, especially anxiety and motivation, on the chemistry learning process. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, involving seven students from various levels of education. Students of the class of 2024 experience academic anxiety related to their choice of major, inability to attend lectures, and uncertainty about the future. Meanwhile, final year students face anxiety about completing their studies and the challenges of entering the workforce. The results of the study show that excessive anxiety has an impact on low student engagement in learning, especially in class discussions and problem solving. Students with high anxiety tend to rely on passive learning methods and have difficulty understanding chemistry concepts in depth. In contrast, high motivation plays a role in increasing academic engagement, building better conceptual understanding, and encouraging students to be more active in finding solutions to learning difficulties. These findings emphasize the importance of learning strategies that can reduce academic anxiety and increase student motivation. A more interactive learning approach and emotional support from the academic environment have the potential to create a more effective and productive learning experience. Thus, this study provides insights for educational institutions to design more adaptive strategies in improving the quality of chemistry learning.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of cognitive load reduction strategies in improving 3T students' understanding of the concept of stoichiometry. Students from 3T areas often have difficulty in understanding chemical concepts due to limited access to quality learning resources and challenges in numeracy. Therefore, this study applies a cognitive load reduction strategy that includes material segmentation, scaffolding, concept visualization, and the use of analogies and real contexts in stoichiometry learning. The research method used is a quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design. The subjects of the study consisted of 3T students who were divided into experimental groups and control groups. Data were collected through a stoichiometry understanding test, a cognitive load questionnaire, and in-depth interviews. The results of the analysis showed that the experimental group experienced a significant increase in posttest scores compared to the control group. In addition, students in the experimental group showed a higher level of understanding retention and a reduction in misconceptions after the implementation of the cognitive load reduction strategy. This study provides evidence that the cognitive load reduction strategy can improve the effectiveness of stoichiometry learning by reducing students' cognitive load. The implications of this study suggest that this approach can be applied more widely in chemistry teaching to improve students' conceptual understanding and numeracy skills. Thus, the results of this study can be the basis for the development of more innovative and adaptive teaching methods for students with diverse educational backgrounds.

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of the role of parents in the process of evaluating education in elementary schools. With a collaborative approach between parents and educators, evaluation can be a more effective tool to improve student learning outcomes. This study presents practical strategies and models of parental involvement that can be implemented in the context of education. Education is one of the determining factors for changes in the quality of life in society. Education can produce citizens who have knowledge. In the process of education, teachers do not stand alone. In realizing the mission of learning, teachers need the role of parents as evaluators of education, especially at the elementary school level. Teachers need to communicate with parents to realize the achievement of education that is on the side of students. This study aims to analyze the importance of parental involvement in the transformation of evaluation in the context of elementary education.
