Ethnochemistry-based Adobe Flash Learning Media Using Indigenous Knowledge to Improve Students' Scientific Literacy

Abstract

This study aims to measure the effectiveness of using ethnochemistry-based Adobe Flash learning media using indigenous knowledge on scientific literacy. The study used a quasi-experimental method. The research subjects were 68 students who used ethnochemistry-based Adobe Flash learning media using indigenous knowledge on secondary metabolite material. The research is a quantitative study with pretest and posttest design. Data in the study were collected through tests to determine students' scientific literacy skills, including aspects of knowledge and competence in analyzing scientific phenomena, connecting chemical concepts to existing phenomena, and interpreting data or scientific evidence and questionnaires. Supporting data was obtained through a questionnaire to determine learning media users' opinions. The test was conducted with ten multiple-choice questions and a questionnaire with ten statements using a Likert scale of 1-4. The data analysis technique calculates the average score of test questions that have criteria according to scientific literacy and the percentage of user satisfaction. Based on the research results, the average value of 81.50 for scientific literacy skills on the concept of secondary metabolites with an N Gain of 80% is in a good category, and it is also known that the average percentage of user satisfaction is 83%, in a good category. Based on the hypothesis testing using the right-test, it has a t count of 16,160 and a t table of 2,021. The study concludes that applying ethnochemistry-based Adobe Flash learning media on secondary metabolites is effective for students' scientific literacy. Thus, it could be excluded that interactive media can support students' learning and improve scientific literacy.

Protist literacy: A novel concept of protist learning in higher education

“…"Scientific literacy refers to an individual's capacity to understand, convey, and use scientific knowledge to solve real-world problems" (Heliawati et al, 2022).…”

Feasibility of Android-Based Application SCIQU (Science in Al-Quran) as Science Learning Media for Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI)

“…The learning media presented to students have to be interesting to the students to help them gain as much valuable knowledge as they can from the media. The media need to attract students' focus and attention to increase the students' literacy or numeracy skills (Heliawati et al, 2022;Istyadji et al, 2022). As indicated by the score of validity of the learning media developed, it can be said that the media is valid and very feasible to be used in the classroom, and very interesting to the students in the classroom.…”

Memahami Konsep Asam dan Basa: Perspektif Makro hingga Mikro di SMA Negeri 1 Muara Batang Gadis

“…Selain faktor-faktor tersebut, penggunaan media pembelajaran inovatif juga telah menarik perhatian para peneliti. Heliawati et al (2022) menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan ethnochemistry-based adobe flash learning media dapat menjadi alternatif yang efektif dalam meningkatkan pemahaman siswa terhadap konsep asam dan basa. Begitu pula, Muchson et al (2019) menyoroti bahwa penggunaan virtual lab juga memiliki potensi yang sama dalam meningkatkan pemahaman siswa.…”
