Abstract

The study aims to develop students’ chemistry self-concept in learning electrolyte solution and oxidation-reduction reaction by using mobile learning. The research method used was the qualitative method. Research data were obtained through observation during learning, questionnaires chemistry self-concept, reflective journal, and interviews. Chemistry Self-concept observed amounts to four indicators: Chemistry Self-concept, Academic Enjoyment Self-concept, Academic Capability Self-concept and Problem Solving Self-concept. The results showed that four indicators tend to awaken and develop learning with mobile learning. Based on the results of chemistry self-concept which shows positive self-concept chemistry because in mobile learning there is a compact content, easy to understand, thus causing students to prefer to learn. There are images, music and color variation so as students are interested in learning. There are tests simulation that is used to try students' learning abilities, and there is video content that can be used as a reference for students in solving a problem.

Highlights

Chemistry includes the science that has various kinds of concepts that must be understood in each learning process. This makes it difficult for students to interpret abstract chemistry. This difficulty causes a sense of self-confidence in chemistry learning
It needs the right strategy to make the impression of chemistry good by increasing student motivation
Based on the chemistry learning curriculum in Indonesia in 2017 the importance of technology can accelerate the addition of chemical materials so that students do not feel left behind when students do not understand the material and with a limited time allocation teachers can provide appropriate learning approaches, methods and techniques that can provide comfort and building student motivation when studying chemistry

Summary

Introduction

Chemistry includes the science that has various kinds of concepts that must be understood in each learning process This makes it difficult for students to interpret abstract chemistry. The field of educational and social psychology illustrates the importance of students' attitudes and beliefs in the learning process because a student can form an assessment of his ability in several subjects in school such as chemistry, so students must know the chemistry self-concept This is consistent with (Bauer, Christopher F., 2005) which states that self-concept is an individual's way to prepare his ability in a field that is run by someone, in this case, self-concept can be said to play an important role for the learning process so that students become more confident so that the transfer of knowledge is not hampered. There needs to be research that analyzes in depth the concept of self in the field of education, namely students' self-concept in chemistry through the use of Mobile learning media
