Abstract

The chemistry practicum activity in school is impossible due to the COVID-19 pandemic, whereas practicum is very important to train soft skills and understanding of chemistry materials. This research aimed to develop 5-e learning cycle-based simple chemistry practicum guideline module for students of class XI. The development model used was a 4-D development model. The quality of the product was assessed by one material expert, one media expert, five reviewers (chemistry teachers of high school), and responded by ten students of high school. The instruments used in the research were product quality assessment sheets using a Likert scale and student response sheets, in the form of a questionnaire, using the Guttman scale. The characteristics of the developed practicum module were in the form of a practicum module for hydrocarbons, thermochemistry, reaction rates, and chemical equilibrium, using simple tools and chemicals; being combined with the 5-e learning cycle model. The quality assessment on the practicum module, which was carried out by one material expert, media experts, and reviewers, gained 88.89. 95.83. and 94.00%. All assessments got a score with Very Good score. From these results, it can be concluded that the developed product is feasible to be used as a practicum guideline.

Highlights

The development of soft skills is the master key to deal with the changes in the era of fourth industrial revolution (Samad, 2020)
According to the assessment by material expert,the quality of the 5-e learning cycle-based simple chemistry practicum guideline module for class XI gains an ideal percentage of 88.89% with the Very Good category
Based on assessment by media expert, it obtains the ideal percentage of 88.89% and 95.83% with the Very Good category

Summary

Introduction

The development of soft skills is the master key to deal with the changes in the era of fourth industrial revolution (Samad, 2020). In this era, information technology has become the main basis in human’s daily life (Yuliati & Saputra, 2019). The progress of science and technology automatically makes the competition of human’s competency tighter (Gotama, 2018). Based on the results of studies by the Stanford Research Institute and Carneige Mellon Foundation, it shown that 75% of long-term job success depends on soft skills and 25% is determined by hard skills (Rashidi, et al, 2013). The soft skills include the ability to think critically, creativity, communication, and collaboration (Redhana, 2019). The reality on the ground shows that education in Indonesia is more oriented towards the
