The Applying of Chemistry Laboratory Based on Maritime Culture

Abstract

This research was aimed to find out the effect of maritime culture based on basic chemistry laboratory towards university students’ critical thinking ability in titration and chemistry material substance in second semester students, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, University of Mataram in academic year 2017/2018. This research was a quasi-experiment with pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group design. The population of this research includes all of the students in chemistry education major who take basic chemistry which is divided into A class and B class. The method used in determining the sample was surfeited sampling method. Samples in this research were A class students as experiment class and B class students as control class. In experiment class, some methods and activities were given related to the application of maritime culture based on basic chemistry laboratory; meanwhile in control class the method used was a kind of conventional method. Hypothesis examination in this research used T-Test. The result of T-Test statistic in the level of significance of 5% showed that Ha was accepted and Ho was abandoned. Based on the result, it can be concluded that the application of maritime culture based on basic chemistry laboratory in titration and substance chemistry material had a positive effect.
