Abstract

Modern Chemistry education shows acid-base reactions by proton transfer with regard to Bronsted’s theory. Understanding how protons can be transferred by particles in solutions is quite challenging. The study aims to presents how university-first-year students are figuring out involved particles which take and give protons. Further, the enrolled participants in this study should explain how the process of proton transfer is running by selected particles but not by substances. Fifty-four students participated in this study that started from revealing participant’s experiences on their previous education at senior high school. Subsequently, researchers conducted a pretest, learning planning, and learning implementation, finally a posttest. Qualitative analysis is preferred to analyze students’ conceptions on particle level. The result shows us that there are two categories of participant’s difficulties. First is determining the involved particles either all particles or reacting particles. The difficulties dominate on mixing terminology of atoms, ions, and molecules, also on preferences of memorizing and calculating oxidation state for chemical equations. The subsequent difficulty is the proton transfer process that caused by participant’s failure on how they selected reacting particles. The systematic sequence on introducing and interpreting chemical equations has also presented as breakthrough.

Abstract

Argument-Driven Inquiry (ADI) in science learning can improve students' argumentation skills and understanding of concepts. In the textbooks, it is important to have ADI activities inside. This research aims to analyze ADI activities in the high school chemistry textbook Revised Curriculum 2013. This research used nine indicators of ADI activities: questions, evidence, student explanation, scientific theories, argumentation, communication and justification, analysis, connection, investigation report, and reflection. The research method used a descriptive instrument as an analysis sheet prepared based on ADI activities. Data was collected using documentation techniques and data analysis using content analysis of ADI activities. The results showed that the reliability test of the data obtained was 0.94 in the very good category. The ADI activity most found in textbooks is evidence activity, with a percentage of 31.25 Meanwhile, the textbook needs to explain question and answer and reflection activities. The textbook needs to increase ADI activities that support student-centered learning and teaching.

Abstract

Most chemical concepts are abstract, hierarchical, and constructed from basic to complex concepts. Lewis structure, VSEPR theory, molecular geometry, and molecular symmetry have hierarchical idea. This study attempted to characterize and determine the relationship between students’ knowledge of Lewis structure, VSEPR theory, molecular geometry, and molecular symmetry of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-year chemistry students at a public university. This study involved 88 students in total selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. The instrument was a relevant short-answer question on the three topics. The data were measured using nonparametric statistics, especially the Kruskal-Wallis difference and Spearman Rank correlation tests.  This study’s results show differences in understanding of Lewis structure, molecular geometry, and symmetry between the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-years students. The 3rd-year students always performed better than the 1st and 2nd-year students for all topics. The test result confirms a positive and strong relationship between students’ understanding of Lewis structure and molecular geometry for the three groups of students with ρ values of 0.979, 0.979, and 0.966 (< 0.01) for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-year students, respectively.

Abstract

Chemical equilibrium is considered abstract so it requires visualization by analogy through electronic modules combined with interactive multimedia teaching materials. This study aims to examine the influence of a guided discovery learning-based e-module on chemical equilibrium on the development of conceptual understanding and self-directed learning among 11th grade science students enrolled in the control and experimental groups. The research framework employed in this study follows a research and development (R&D) model. The participants were selected using the cluster random sampling technique. The e-module, developed based on GDL principles, was administered to 72 science 11th grade students through a quasi-experimental design involving a posttest-only control group. The research employed conceptual understanding test of chemical equilibrium and a self-directed learning questionnaire as data collection instruments. The disparities in conceptual understanding and self-directed learning between the control and experimental groups were assessed using the MANOVA (Hotteling's trace) test. There is a significant difference in both the overall and individual abilities of conceptual understanding and learning independence between students who used electronic modules based on GDL and those who did not, as indicated by simultaneous significance levels of 0.001 and individual significance levels of 0.009 and 0.004, all of which are smaller than 0.05.

Abstract

Metacognitive awareness (MA) plays an important role in classroom learning as it enhances self-teaching capabilities on students. Therefore, it is necessary to know the level of awareness possessed by a teacher. This study aimed to describe metacognitive awareness profile of prospective chemistry educators. The method of research is descriptive quantitative using survey methods. The participants consisted of students undergoing their final semester. The instrument used was the MAIT-18 (Metacognitive-Awareness Inventory for Teachers-18). This instrument has two indicators, specifically cognitive knowledge and regulation. The results showed that students had a good level of cognitive knowledge and regulation with 80% and 77%, respectively. Therefore, the overall percentage of metacognitive awareness obtained was 80%. These results suggest that prospective chemistry educators have a good awareness of metacognition. This is indicates they can influence positive things on students, foster autonomy in teaching and learning, also can be an asset to be an effective teacher.
