Abstract

Forensic chemistry distinguishes itself from other branches of chemical sciences by the necessity to cater to the requirements of both the scientific and legal communities. Its research, application, and presentation are uniquely geared towards meeting the needs of these two domains. Consequently, forensic chemistry research is inherently practical and derived, emphasizing metrology (the science of measurement) and validation. Forensic chemistry has evolved beyond its initial analytical origins and now encompasses a broader range of chemical sciences. As the field expands, established forensic practices are being reevaluated, extending beyond drug analysis and toxicology to encompass diverse areas such as combustion chemistry, materials science, and pattern evidence. Chemistry has been used more and more to help with criminal investigations and forensic chemistry has become an important topic of study for students at all levels of education. The excitement of carrying out chemical tests is increased with the chance to explore a criminal incident. Both educators and students are consistently intrigued by the prominence of chemistry in crime scene investigations depicted in television shows. Fingerprint analysis, a key component of forensic science, has been adapted for every educational level. From elementary school students creating fingerprints with ink to the exciting (and messy) activity of revealing latent fingerprints through dusting, educators have found engaging ways to incorporate forensic science lessons. Superglue, readily available commercially, allows anyone interested to show its capabilities for detecting latent prints. Forensic science or forensic chemistry courses in high school and postsecondary education often include experiments involving the revelation of latent fingerprints. Latent fingerprints are formed when a person touches a surface, leaving behind a nearly transparent chemical residue that mirrors their unique skin ridge patterns. Latent fingerprints are likely to be left on surfaces every time you contact or grab them. To improve the contrast between the fingerprint residue and the surface it has been applied on, many methods have been established. Abundant and resilient, latent prints are unintentionally left behind on the surfaces you touch daily. Specialized techniques can reveal many of these latent prints, highlighting their potential significance in forensic investigations.

Abstract

Chemistry is still considered a subject that is difficult for some students to understand, thus triggering chemistry learning anxiety or chemophobia. This research aims to analyze the level of anxiety in studying chemistry in tenth-grade students at public senior high schools in Sleman Regency in participating in phase E chemistry learning. This quantitative research uses a survey method with a cross-sectional design. A total of 413 tenth-grade students from six public senior high schools in Sleman Regency were selected using cluster random sampling as the research sample. The instrument used is the chemistry learning anxiety scale, which consists of 50 statement items. The data results were analyzed using ideal assessment categories. The findings of this research revealed that students have low anxiety about studying chemistry in the phase E of chemistry learning. Low chemistry learning anxiety is a good asset for students to be able to follow and understand chemistry learning well in phase E and the following phases. Male students and students with good academic achievement tend to have lower chemistry learning anxiety than female students and students with less good academic achievement.

Abstract

The learning process is the mental activity of individuals in communicating with their environment which is invisible but can be proven through behavioral transformation in a positive direction. In reality, there are several difficulties faced by students such as students who have undergone a deep learning process but still have difficulty achieving learning achievements at school. Learning difficulties experienced by students must be diagnosed by the teacher which aims to determine the situation of student learning difficulties. However, there are obstacles in the unavailability of complete instruments to measure student learning difficulties and teachers have a lack of understanding of the use of measurement instruments. The questionnaire instrument will help teachers in diagnosing students' learning difficulties. Before its development, a needs analysis stage is needed to adjust the characteristics of the instrument design according to the data in the field. The needs analysis using a questionnaire consists of 3 aspects (17 questions) with 7 chemistry teacher participants in Yogyakarta. The needs analysis questionnaire has been validated by chemistry learning experts. The results of the data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative by presenting data or answers calculating frequencies and percentages. It was concluded that the development of a student perception scale instrument on chemistry learning difficulties has an urgency that is quite important because of the limitations or unavailability of these measurement instruments.

Abstract

Developing argumentation skills through learning activities needs to be done with the aim that students can provide rational explanations accompanied by the right reasons. Argumentation skills guide students in including evidence, facts and the right theory to support statements to solve a problem. The topic of scientific argumentation skills is important to research. This study aims to identify, evaluate, and review articles from 2014 - 2024 that have the topic of scientific argumentation skills. The method used in this research is Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with supporting questions, namely, factors that affect students' scientific argumentation skills. This research provides an overview of the condition of students' scientific argumentation skills in chemistry learning. The low argumentation ability of students is caused by several factors including students' understanding of the material tested, students' lack of involvement in activities that contain argumentation, cognitive skills and students' experience.

Abstract

E-modules as learning support function to facilitate students' understanding in order to obtain meaningful learning. This study aims to explore teachers' needs for contextual-based e-modules integrated with Islamic values in the reaction rate material. The method used is an exploratory survey with a semi-open questionnaire technique, then the results obtained are analyzed using content analysis. The results of the study showed that participants still had difficulty finding sources/media that integrate Islamic values in chemistry material, especially reaction rate material. This makes contextual-based e-modules integrated with Islamic values in reaction rate material important to be developed as chemistry learning media. This e-module can help participants in preparing learning media. Thus, it can be seen that overall it is still necessary to develop contextual-based e-modules integrated with Islamic values in reaction rate material.

Abstract

Malaysia is one of the countries that has integrated the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) approach in its education curriculum since 2017, to prepare young people with 21st century skills. In the context of chemistry education, Malaysia also applies the concept of Green Chemistry to encourage environmental awareness and improve science literacy through materials relevant to global sustainability issues. This study examines the integration of Green Chemistry principles in Level IV and V high school chemistry textbooks in Malaysia. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive content analysis, the study focuses on six themes: Green Chemistry principles, application fields, presentation stages, presentation levels, locality aspects, and related chemistry concepts. Analysis of the textbooks revealed that seven out of twelve Green Chemistry principles are integrated, with "Preventing Potential Accidents" appearing most frequently (56.52%), followed by "Waste Prevention" (14.50%). The application fields of Green Chemistry predominantly cover health (50.73%) and environmental issues (28.99%). Presentation stages emphasize content deepening (52.17%) and core materials (21.74%), while presentation levels are largely explicit (52.17%), enhancing conceptual clarity. However, locality aspects are underrepresented, with global contexts dominating (92.75%) over local ones (7.25%). The integration of related chemistry concepts includes "Acid and Base" (26.09%) and "Organic Compounds" (18.84%) as the most frequent. Despite the significant integration of Green Chemistry, the study highlights gaps in contextual representation and recommends future research focus on enhancing the relevance of textbook content to local and global environmental issues.
