Abstract

Used cooking oil is oil from frying which is an unused material. The processing of used cooking oil into biodiesel is expected to reduce household waste and become a new and renewable energy source. The first step in making biodiesel is the esterification process by measuring the value of free fatty acids. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum time used during the esterification process and to compare the volume of using sulfuric acid (H2SO4) catalyst using the Anova method. The research was conducted using an experimental method. The variables used in this study were the deposition time of 12 hours to 25 hours and the volume of catalyst compared was 2 ml and 4 ml for every 200 ml of used cooking oil. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that the optimum conditions that can be used in the deposition process are at 18 hours using 4 ml of catalyst. Based on the results of ANOVA analysis, it can be concluded that the calculated F value (0.002) <F table (94.196), it means that the FFA value of the 2 and 4 ml catalyst variations does not have a significant difference. faster process.

Abstract

This study introduces a small-scale chemistry (SSC) approach to inquiry-based practicum activities. SSC was introduced to train PCTs' laboratory skills so that they can be creative when teaching in schools in situations where it is not possible to obtain standard lab facilities. The research method is an action research model that includes four stages in the inquiry training process, namely (1) prescription-based practicum learning; (2) small-scale practical demonstrations; (3) small-scale chemistry practicum mentoring; (4) design and implementation of small-scale practicum designs. This research involved 15 Pre-service Chemistry Teachers (PCTs) who were in the Basic Chemistry practicum course. Data collection used documentation techniques for practical activities with an SSC approach, activity response interviews, and open response questionnaires. Instrument validity used face validity, while reliability was obtained by stability of observations. The results of the documentation and interviews were described as narrative, while the responses to the questionnaire were recapitulated and analyzed to obtain a bar chart. Videos were checked using the adequacy rubric which includes performance and procedures. 15 types of chemistry practicums with the SSC approach have been obtained. PCTs have also been able to choose the types of materials that are not only found specifically in the laboratory, but also materials that are easily found in daily lives to be used in school chemistry practical topics. PCTs also reflected that their understanding of the concept is getting better with practicals that are easy to do and their interest in implementing it further.

Abstract

The development of reasoning multiple choice questions (RMCQs) to analyze higher-order thinking skills is based on the need for appropriate assessment instruments to determine high-order thinking skills on learning requirements in the 21st century. The development used the model proposed by Thiagarajan, 4D-models with four process stages: (1) define; (2) design; (3) develop; (4) disseminate. The results were analyzed using the winstep application to obtain the value of validity, reliability, discriminatory power, distractor index, and difficulty level. The instrument has a good reliability coefficient, shown by the item reliability in the final test of 0.98, with the ability to distinguish three groups of samples, low, moderate, and high. 75% of the validity index and 80% of the distractor index function well, so the assessment instrument developed can be used to analyze high-order thinking skills. The assessment instrument is also applicative if used as an evaluation instrument in chemistry learning.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the paradigm of the online learning process, which was originally running offline. As a result, facilities and infrastructure, such as practical guidebooks used to support implementing practical activities, must adapt to online conditions. Website-based technology-assisted practicum guides are the right strategy for online learning. In addition, learning activities on the practicum guide website use a contextual approach, such as the guided inquiry method, to train students to develop their critical and scientific thinking skills. However, the reality on the ground shows that the practicum guide used is not website-based, so it has not been able to support learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the learning model used has not used the guided inquiry method. This study aims to develop a guided inquiry-based biochemical practicum guide website on starch identification material and determine the feasibility of the website as well as student and lecturer responses to the developed website. This research is development research using the Borg and Gall model. Their research stages consist of needs analysis, planning, product draft development, initial field trials, revisions, field trials, and revisions. The practicum guide website was validated by 11 experts consisting of 2 language experts and three experts in IT, materials, and guided inquiry learning. They collect feasibility data and student and lecturer responses using indirect communication assisted by questionnaires. The feasibility test results of linguistics, IT, inquiry learning, and material experts obtained percentages of 88.3%, 85.5%, 90.5%, and 91.1%, respectively. All aspects show a very decent category. Student responses at the initial field test stage, main field, and lecturer were 85.7%, 88.3%, and 90%, respectively. All aspects of the feasibility test, student and lecturer responses are in the very feasible category. The results of this study indicate that the guided inquiry-based biochemical practicum guide website on starch identification material is very feasible to use. This practicum guide website is expected to help carry out a biochemistry practicum during the COVID-19 pandemic and improve students' thinking skills
