Development of Integrated Analysis Practicum Module based on Green Chemistry

Abstract

Abstract-This study aimed to develop a module practicum of chemistry analysis integrated-based on green chemistry to improve environmental the attitude of students which is valid and efficient. The four-step of the plump model adopted was used in the development of the module. These stages are the initial assessment phase, the planning stage, the stage of realisation/construction and implementation phase. The first three steps are used to develop and validate the module, while the last step is used to measure the effectiveness of the module. The module contains three main part, namely introduction, learning activity and bibliography. The introduction to the module containing a general explanation, the general objectives of learning, and the specific goals of learning. Learning activities section contains descriptions of learning contents, summaries, test, answer key, and feedback. A validation test was submitted to two green chemistry experts, two pedagogic experts, and one environment expert. The effectiveness of the module has been carried out by giving learning achievement test and observe environment attitude of a group of 25 students. The test of learning achievement cover attitude of the environment. Results of this study show that the module has a valid category with 3.2 scores. The average learning achievement and environment attitude of the students increase from score 6.45 to 18.29 of score total 22 and from 40.66 % to 65.97 %, respectively. Those are related to the effectiveness of the module.

Integrating Green Chemistry and Sustainability Principles to a Secondary Science Curriculum: A Mixed-Methods Needs Assessment

“…Additionally, this may also be attributed to limited exposure to green chemistry during their education and training. 76 Based on the findings, teachers who lack enough background may feel anxiety about teaching chemistry, let alone green chemistry. Science educators may struggle to stay updated on advancements in green chemistry and innovative teaching strategies if there is a limited access for professional development.…”

Development and Validation of Specific Chemistry Teaching Mode for Environmental Sustainability

“…Various studies relating to the application of green chemistry as an effort for environmental sustainability have been carried out [12,13,14,15], but the phenomenon of environmental crisis is still being found, especially with regard to chemistry. This shows that the knowledge of green chemistry for chemical industry practitioners has not been implemented or understood yet.…”
