Implementation of Green Chemistry-Based Electrolysis Learning Media to Develop Higher Order Thinking Ability

Abstract

In this paper, a green chemistry-based microscale kit and worksheets were made and implemented to develop higher-order thinking ability of students on electrolysis concept. The method used in this research was an experimental method with one-shot case study model implemented to the second-semester chemistry education students studying electrolysis. The ability to think at higher level, i.e. ability to analyze, evaluate, and create, were measured by referring to the revised Bloom taxonomy. The results showed that the average score achieved was 77 (categorize as good) for the ability to analyze, 82 (categorize as excellent) for the ability to evaluate, and 76 (categorize as good) for the ability to create. The as made learning media in the form of micro-scale kit and worksheet were able to develop higher-order thinking ability.
