Objective: This study uses ChemCollective's virtual laboratory to apply inquiry learning and seeks to describe the application of inquiry learning models, student activities, scientific literacy skills, and student responses. Method: This study uses a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental approach. The study tools included student response questionnaires, student activity observation sheets, learning implementation observation sheets, and literacy test instruments. Results: The study's findings were as follows: (1) the inquiry learning model was implemented at 83% of the first meeting and 93% of the second meeting; (2) the average percentage of student activity that is relevant to inquiry learning was 90.24% at the first meeting and 93.60% at the second meeting; (3) the results of the scientific literacy test improved, with an N-Gain Score of 0.76 in the high category and the results of the paired sample t-test revealed a significance value of 0.000; and (4) With very favorable criteria, 98% of students respond on average to inquiry learning when using the ChemCollective virtual laboratory. These findings suggest that, during the odd semesters of the 2022–2023 academic year, first-semester Science Education Study Program students at UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya can train their scientific literacy through inquiry learning supported by ChemCollective's virtual laboratory.
The improvement of reading competence in Indonesia has not yet reached its maximum point. Indonesia’s achievements in a number of surveys also show poor results. Nevertheless, several cities in East Java have started to initiate the development of the literacy through various programs as an act of reflection on the findings of the previous surveys. In Surabaya, some programs have been initiated by goverment to cultivate literacy such as reading corner book review, book discussion, reading community, and others. These programs are aimed to increase reading interest (reading habit) of children in Surabaya. By using the Community Based Research (CBR) method, this research observed innovation as new programs about reading habit in the 27 Madrasah Ibtidaiyah in Surabaya. The author found that there are five stages of innovation (knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, and confirmation) were conducted by Madrasah Ibtidaiyah in Surabaya. The result indicates that all the stages have been done well by the library manager in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah in Surabaya. This can be seen from several aspects such as of the knowledge of the importance of literacy for their students, awareness to change for better future, and a decision to implement some new programs in the development of reading habit
