Need Analysis of Basic Chemistry Practicum Based on Computation

Abstract

Computational chemistry is a branch of chemistry which is the theoretical translated into computer programs to calculate the properties of molecules and their changes. This study analyzes the need of computational-based chemistry practicum in the Basic Chemistry course at the Chemistry Education Study Program at Samudra University. This study was done by survey technique. Aspects analyzed in this study include: module analysis through a review of the Basic Chemistry practicum module used by the Chemistry Education study program, needs analysis through students' perceptions that has been carried out, and literatures analysis through computational studies for Basic Chemistry that have been developed. Basic Chemistry practicum implemented in Chemistry Education is a verification practicum (conventional), and it is necessary to implement a practicum that gives more freedom to students in exploring. Basic chemistry practicum in Chemistry Education is also not based on computational, so it is necessary to develop basic chemistry practicum activities that provide computational problem solving

Implementation of Methanogenesis Reaction for Chemistry Subject on Senior High School Using Chemistry, Life, Universe and Everything (Clue) Approach

“…An approach that can be learn is through computational studies.Computational studies can be applied to predict the reaction mechanism. Computational studies for chemistryalso provide information about the mechanisms and energies along the chemical reactions (Snyder &Kucukkal, 2021;Mustika et al, 2022). Furthermore, computational offer a visualization to construct understanding about representation levels on chemistry, such as macroscopic, symbolic and and submicroscopic (Daninet al, 2023).…”

Analisis Kebutuhan Pengembangan Practical E-Guidebook IPA untuk Mahasiswa UIN Sunan Kalijaga

“…In the aspect of affective skills, namely planning independent learning and learning to work together. In the psychomotor aspect, namely learning to install and use tools and materials in the practicum (Mustika & Hasby, 2022). Ioannidou et al (2022) and Turiman et al (2012) also explained the objectives of the science learning practicum, namely increasing understanding of scientific concepts, increasing interest and motivation, improving practical scientific attitudes regarding skills and abilities in solving problems, scientific thinking habits, and understanding of the nature of science.…”

“…The agricultural sector is a very strategic factor, becoming the basis of the people's economy in rural areas, controlling the lives of the majority of the population, absorbing more than half of the total workforce, and even being a support during the Indonesian economic crisis (Mustika et al, 2022;Saygılı et al, 2022).…”
