“…Multiple representations in chemistry have positive impact to students' chemical understanding and leads to positive attitudes towards these representations (Lausin & Kijai, 2020). The availability, usability and relevance of representations as embedded in instructional methods aids pave way for positive attitude towards chemistry to be attained (Habiddin et al, 2020;Musengimana et al, 2021).…”

Teaching and learning in chemistry have been shifted to online classes due to the pandemic. With this, researchers investigated the use of multiple representations embedded to determine its effectiveness in online learning setup. A pretest-posttest with control quasi-experimental design was employed to two groups of Grade 11 STEM students taking up a general chemistry course in a private secondary institution in Cebu City, Philippines. The control group (n=30) was exposed to typical online class while the experimental group (n=30) was exposed to the multiple representations. Study findings revealed that there have been significant mean gains for both groups, indicating the important role of online learning in chemistry. The experimental group (MD=3.03, t=2.495, p=.015) had significantly higher mean gains than the control group, signifying the more effective nature of multiple representations in chemistry teaching. Moreover, the students had highly favorable attitudes towards multiple representations and had average extents of understanding in the macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic levels. Therefore, the use of multiple representations promotes studentsâ€™ chemical understanding during the Covid-19 pandemic. The researchers recommend the use of these representations in chemistry teaching, where teachers start at the macroscopic level before they proceed to the more abstract levels.

This paper highlights the contribution of the Interactive Instructional Teaching Method (IITM) in improving students’ ability to solve unfamiliar types of questions, adversity quotient, and learning interest in chemistry on the topic of buffer solutions. Two groups of senior high school students from a public school in East Java, Indonesia, participated in this study. One group (experimental) with 29 students experienced IITM, while another group (comparison) with 31 students experienced the Direct Instructional Teaching Model (DITM). The difference in students’ ability between the two groups was assessed using 10 unfamiliar types of questions of buffer solutions. This study uncovered only a small advantage of IITM students over DITM students in answering unfamiliar questions and their adversity quotient scores. However, regarding their learning interest, the contribution of the two teaching approaches was considered equal. Students’ adversity quotient correlated positively to their ability to answer unfamiliar questions of buffer solutions. Meanwhile, the effect of students’ learning interests and adversity quotient on students’ ability to answer unfamiliar questions was found uncorrelated.
