The Development of Guided Inquiry-Based Solubility Equilibrium E-Module

Solubility equilibrium is a basic material of chemistry that involve an abstract concept. The visualization of abstract concept can be presented using the electronic media in the form of pictures, videos, and animations. The guided inquiry is one of the right strategies to teach about solubility equilibrium. The purpose of this research was to develop, determine the validity and the eligibility of the guided inquiry-based solubility equilibrium e-module. This research used Borg and Gall’s development model with 5 stages, which were the product analysis, the initial product development, the expert validation and revision, the field trial, the trial result analysis, and the product revision. The product validity has a very valid criteria in terms of the material, media, and language expert assessment with the average percentages were 96,11%, 83,18%, 90,61%. The students’ response to the product showed that the product was very proper to used in the learning based on the average percentage of 90,61%. That meant the developed guided inquiry-based solubility equilibrium e-module could be one of the teaching materials for basic chemistry course.

Development of Compact Disc (CD) Learning Media Program for Basic Chemistry Course at IAIN Kerinci

: Basic Chemistry is a compulsory subject in Biology Tadris at IAIN Kerinci, which studies the physical changes of material in the separation of mixtures, namely filtration, distillation, sublimation, recrystallization, and chromatography. With the lecture method, in this material, we cannot see directly the changes that occur, so that in this material a practicum is needed to see firsthand the changes that occur. At IAIN Kerinci, there is no special laboratory for chemistry to carry out practicum. Therefore we need media that can describe these changes, so that it will lead to student learning motivation. The purpose of this research was to make learning media in the form of a CD program that will be used in learning basic chemistry of mixed separation materials and to determine the level of validity and practicality of chemistry learning media in the form of a CD program for mixed separation materials. The methodology used in this research was the type of research, development procedures, test subjects, data types, data collection instruments, data analysis techniques. The results of this study indicated that the CD Program learning media on mixed separation materials can be used as suitable learning media for learning chemistry of mixed separation materials in the basic chemistry course in the biology tadris department of IAIN Kerinci, and the CD Program media on mixed separation materials developed is valid. and has been practically used in learning.

Pemanfaatan Bahan Sederhana pada Praktikum Mandiri: Kajian Motivasi dan Persepsi Mahasiswa

Practical activities during the covid pandemic are difficult to do because all learning has turned to online learning. So that students are required to carry out independent practicum at home, even though laboratory equipment and materials are quite expensive and difficult to obtain. A breakthrough is needed so that the practicum can still be carried out. One of them is independent practicum using simple equipment and materials. Independent practicum is implemented in basic chemistry courses during the odd semester. However, reflection on the practicum is needed to identify motivation and an opinion from student. The research design used was descriptive qualitative research. The research was conducted on students of the Chemical Education Study Program, University of Lampung. Data was collected by using a questionnaire through a Mentimeter. The results showed that (1) students were highly motivated to participate in independent practicum because it was interesting, (2) students' perception of independent practicum is very good, this is shown by the number of students who are helped in understanding the concept of chemistry after doing independent practicum, (3) the obstacle experienced by students during independent practicum is the difficulty of signaling in some areas which causes the upload of independent practicum videos to be often late. This research is relevant and can be a practical breakthrough for both lecturers and teachers who have limited laboratory equipment and materials by loosening the collecting of practicum videos.
