Development of chemistry questions integrated with religious values on acid-base topic

Abstract

<em>Religious character education</em> is a learning process that teaches values to shape a virtuous and cultured character. Education based on religious values can develop a good personality, including learning chemistry by integrating Islamic values. This research aims to analyze the feasibility of chemistry questions integrated with religious values. This research used a research and development type with the ADDIE model. The study participants were all students in class XI IPA MAS Darul Ulum Banda Aceh through saturated sampling techniques. Data was collected using expert validation sheets and teacher and student response questionnaires for multiple-choice questions. The validation results show that out of the 20 questions developed, 4 of them are invalid, and 16 are valid. Based on the validation from experts and chemistry education practitioners, the chemistry questions integrated with religious values for the Acid-base Topic is a feasible assessment. The validity index, 0.9, was obtained using Aiken's scale, and the reliability index, 0.85, based on IRA (interrater agreement), is valid and reliable. Based on responses, most students and chemistry teachers agree that questions based on religious values can have an impact on the following: (1) increase interest and motivation in learning chemistry; (2) increase knowledge about the relationship between chemical concepts and religious teachings; (3) increase awareness to obey the creator; and (4) increasing confidence in the greatness of Allah <em>Subhanahu wa Ta'ala</em>. The purpose of character education in chemistry learning can be achieved by using test questions that are integrated with religious values.
