“…Students are considered to understand a concept they are learning if the answers and reasons are correct and their confidence level is high [11]. Students with wrong answers and reasons and a low confidence level are classified as students who need help understanding the concept [12].…”

Thermochemistry is a material high school students study in class XI MIPA in odd semesters. In this material, 83.69% of SMAN 13 Padang class XI MIPA students still need to achieve the minimum completeness criteria set. It indicates that students have learning difficulties. Learning difficulties are failures to attain learning goals characterized by low learning outcomes. This study aims to determine the percentage of students who experience learning difficulties for each indicator on thermochemistry material and determine the factors that cause learning difficulties experienced by students in terms of learning methods. This research is a type of descriptive research. The sample for this research was students in class XI MIPA 6 at SMAN 13 Padang in the 2022/2023 academic year, which consisted of 34 people. The research instrument was a diagnostic test with four-tier multiple-choice questionnaires and interviews. The data analysis used is descriptive, namely analyzing and providing an understanding of the data in the form of numbers so that an overview can be given in an orderly, concise, and transparent manner. The results of this study stated that students of SMAN 13 Padang had difficulty learning thermochemistry material in the high category. The highest difficulty level is found in the sixth indicator (determining the ∆H value of the reaction through a calorimeter experiment), which is 90.20%. Meanwhile, the lowest level of learning difficulty for students is found in the first indicator (explaining differences in systems and environments in chemical reactions), which equals 42.16%. Learning difficulties experienced by students are caused by ineffective learning methods, such as not making a study schedule and not carrying it out, not reading and not taking notes, not repeating material, not concentrating, and not doing assignments.

“…Previous researchers made the instruments in this study. Students are considered to understand a concept if the answers and the reasons are correct [15]. In the diagnostic test questions, there are two levels of questions, where at the first level are the answers to the questions, and at the second level are the choices of reasons for the answers the first level [13].…”

Acid-base material is material that class XI IPA students study in the even semester. In this material, 81.38% of class XI IPA students at SMAN 16 Padang have yet to achieve the minimum criteria set. It indicates that students have learning difficulties. Learning difficulties are failures to attain learning goals characterized by low learning outcomes. This study aims to determine the percentage of students who experience learning difficulties for each indicator on acid-base material and determine the factors that cause learning difficulties experienced by students in terms of learning methods. Its research is a type of descriptive research. The sample for this research was students in class XI IPA 2 at SMAN 16 Padang in the 2022/2023 academic year, which consisted of 34 people. The research instrument was a diagnostic test with two-tier multiple-choice questionnaires and interviews. The data analysis used is descriptive, namely analyzing and then providing an understanding of the data in the form of numbers so that an overview can be given in an orderly, concise, and clear manner. The results of this study stated that students of SMAN 16 Padang had learning difficulties in acid-base material, with a percentage of 66.65% in the high category. The highest difficulty level is found in the first indicator (Analyzing the properties of the solution based on the acid-base theory according to Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis) of 72.88%. Ineffective learning methods cause learning difficulties experienced by students. Effective ways of learning are making study schedules and carrying them out, reading and taking notes, repeating subject matter, concentrating, and doing assignments.

“…Semua perlakuan belajar yang dilakukan tidak lain bertujuan untuk mempersiapkan peserta didik untuk menghadapi tantangan global menghadapi revolusi 4.0 yang merujuk pada hasil kogres National Science Education Standard, 1996, bahwa komponen STEM sendiri yaitu Science: ilmu pengetahuan yang mempelajari alam semesta, fakta-fakta, fenomena serta keteraturan yang ada di dalamnya yang tidak luput dari isu yang dijumpai dalam kehidupan peserta didik [10]. Sehingga isu yang diangkat dapat dikenal/ tidak asing dari permasalahan dalam kehidupan peserta didik [11]. Kedua, bidang yang penting yaitu technology merupakan inovasi, perubahan, modifikasi dari lingkungan alam untuk memberi kepuasan terhadap keinginan dan kebutuhan manusia.…”

This study aims to describe the STEM approach to improve student learning outcomes in Voltaic Cell learning which was carried out in the form of action research. The research subjects were 27 students in class XII MIPA SMAN 2 Takengon, Central Aceh. The research data was obtained from the competency test at the end of each cycle. Study result data were analyzed using statistical tests (data normality test, Kolmogorov Smirnov), and comparative tests. The results of the student competency test showed that the increase in learning outcomes in the first cycle was better when compared to the previous year's learning outcomes. The test results of the second cycle experienced an increase of 6% when compared to cycle 1. The normality test showed that the data was not normal, so the comparison of the two cycles was tested using nonparametric statistics using the Mann-Witney test. The test results showed that the learning outcomes of students in cycles one and two were significantly different with a significance of 0.003 (P0.05). So it can be concluded that the application of STEM-based learning has been able to improve student learning outcomes at SMAN 2 Takengon on the Voltaic Cell concept.
