Abstract

Abstract thinking skills are essential for understanding microscopic concepts in chemistry, particularly in topics such as chemical bonding. This study investigates the effectiveness of augmented reality (AR) as an innovative instructional medium that enhances students’ abstract thinking abilities within the context of chemical bonding. A mixed-method approach with a sequential explanatory design was employed, beginning with a quantitative phase followed by qualitative analysis. The participants were tenth-grade students at one of Madrasah Aliyah Negeri Pekanbaru, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using essay-based assessments, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. The quantitative findings indicate a statistically significant improvement in the abstract thinking skills of students in the experimental group compared to the control group (p = 0.001), with 73.7% of students in the experimental group showing marked progress. Qualitative data further support these results, highlighting that AR facilitated students’ abilities in structural representation, abstraction, and metacognitive awareness. Additionally, AR increased student motivation and deeper engagement with the learning material. These findings suggest that integrating AR in chemistry instruction can be an effective pedagogical strategy to promote the development of abstract reasoning and 21st-century competencies.

Abstract

Numeracy literacy is increasingly central in Indonesia’s school reform agenda, particularly after the implementation of the National Assessment (Asesmen Nasional/AN) and Minimum Competency Assessment (Asesmen Kompetensi Minimum/AKM). This study examines the effect of AKM-class activities on the numeracy literacy ability of Madrasah Aliyah students. A quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design was employed with 120 Grade XI students (experimental class = 60; control class = 60) from two Madrasah Aliyah schools. The experimental group received AKM-class activities for eight weeks (16 meetings), while the control group underwent conventional instruction. The instrument was an AKM-oriented numeracy test covering four content domains (number, algebra, geometry, and data & uncertainty), three cognitive processes (formulate, employ, interpret), and contextual dimensions (personal, socio-cultural, scientific). Expert review and pilot testing supported instrument quality (Aiken’s V = 0.82–0.94; Cronbach’s alpha = 0.87). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent and paired t-tests, normalized gain, and ANCOVA. Using simulated but statistically realistic data, pretest scores were equivalent between groups (p = 0.684), while posttest and gain scores significantly favored the experimental group (posttest: p < 0.001; gain: p < 0.001). ANCOVA showed a significant treatment effect after controlling for pretest (F(1,117) = 49.01, p < 0.001, partial η² = 0.295). Domain-level analysis indicated stronger gains in algebra and data & uncertainty, moderate gains in number, and non-significant differences in geometry. These findings suggest that structured AKM-class activities can meaningfully improve numeracy literacy in Madrasah Aliyah, particularly for contextual reasoning and data interpretation skills. The study contributes a practical classroom model for integrating AKM characteristics into regular teaching.
