This study is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional study design. Participants in this study were 109 chemistry education students, Sriwijaya University. The instruments used in this study were an adaptation of the inventive thinking measurement instrument and an adaptation of the science-related attitude (TOSRA) measurement instrument. Data analysis was carried out using Rasch Analysis to determine the validity and reliability of the instrument, as well as to measure inventive thinking and science-related attitude, which was then analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis. The results of the validity analysis showed that the MNSQ Outfit of both instruments (IT = 1.01 and SRA = 1) was in the range of 0.5-1.5 which was classified as valid or could measure what was to be measured well. The reliability of both instruments (IT = 0.98 and SRA = 0.99) was in the range&gt; 0.94 which was classified as special. The results of the analysis of the relationship between inventive thinking and science-related attitude show that r = 0.273 is included in the low category. This shows that the relationship between science-related students and inventive thinking is low, or in other words there is no close relationship between inventive thinking ability and science-related students. The results of the Pearson correlation analysis also show a positive sign. This shows that the relationship between inventive thinking and science-related students is also positive, or not contradictory.</em></p> Eka Ad'hiya Maefa Eka Haryani Rodi Edi Diah Kartika Sari Copyright (c) 2024 Eka Ad'hiya, Maefa Eka Haryani, Rodi Edi, Diah Kartika Sari https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-12-13 2024-12-13 8 2 1 8 10.33369/alo.v8i2.37518 SINTESIS DAN KARAKTERISASI METAL ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS La-NDC SERTA POTENSI APLIKASINYA SEBAGAI SENSOR SENYAWA BORAKS https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/alotropjurnal/article/view/38269 <p><em>This study aim is to synthesize and characterize metal organic frameworks La-NDC and determine the electronic response to borax (H<sub>3</sub>BO<sub>3</sub>) compounds. The method used to synthesize La-NDC MOFs is the solvothermal method with dimethylacetamide (DMA) as solvent. The research was conducted in the learning laboratory of FKIP UNIB and the Basic Science laboratory of FMIPA UNIB from April to June 2022. The synthesis stages of La-NDC MOFs consisted of six stages, namely preparation, mixing, heating and cooling, washing, drying and weighing. Yield results obtained as much as 70.77% and 63.85%. The results showed that La-NDC MOFs have been synthesized with a slightly yellowish white crystalline form. Characterization of La-NDC MOFs was carried out using FTIR, SEM and XRD methods. The results of FTIR characterization showed that Lanthanum metal ions had coordinated with NDC ligands to form a network of MOFs, XRD characterization results showed that La-NDC MOFs had good crystallinity and SEM characterization results showed that the morphology of La-NDC MOFs resembled irregular rocks with diameters ranging from 73 - 581 m. The analytes used for the response test were borax, benzene, toluene and formalin. The electronic response test of La-NDC MOFs was carried out using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at a wavelength range of 200-800 nm. The results of the electronic response test on the sample of MOFs with borax show that La-NDC MOFs have no potential as sensors because they do not show specific electronic behavior towards borax</em></p> Muhammad Akbar Chaniago Sura Menda Ginting Febrian Solikhin Copyright (c) 2024 Muhammad Akbar Chaniago, Sura Menda Ginting, Febrian Solikhin https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-12-13 2024-12-13 8 2 9 18 10.33369/alo.v8i2.38269 E-MODULE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PANCASILA STUDENT PROFILE STRENGTHENING PROFILE PHASE E PROJECT ON THE THEME OF LOCAL WISDOM IN THE BENGKULU REGION https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/alotropjurnal/article/view/37864 <p><em>This research is a study and development of an e-module project to strengthen the Pancasila student profile phase E on the theme of local wisdom in the Bengkulu area.

One of the factors that can cause this problem is that students do not have the ability to evaluate and regulate their cognitive processes in solving a problem in learning. Until now, teachers have tried to improve students learning outcomes through empowering metacognitive skills. The components that learners must have in learning are skills to process thinking including planning (regulation), monitoring the learning process (monitoring) and reflecting (evaluation). These components can be seen in the learning skills and learning process of learners. This literature review explores more deeply about learning models that are suitable for improving metacognitive skills in chemistry learning. The literature review uses narrative literature review type to identify learning models that can improve metacognitive skills in chemistry learning. Cooperative learning models have a great influence in improving metacognitive skills, cooperative learning models that can be used include problem-based learning, guided inquiry, problem solving, project-based learning, and self regulated learning.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Arjuna Pramana Firnanda Zuni Fransiska Erlin Dwi Nurrohimi Sukmawati Muhammad Ridwansyah Agung Rahmadani Copyright (c) 2024 Arjuna Pramana, Firnanda Zuni Fransiska, Erlin Dwi Nurrohimi, Sukmawati, Muhammad Ridwansyah, Agung Rahmadani https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-12-13 2024-12-13 8 2 79 96 10.33369/alo.v8i2.37599 PENGEMBANGAN INSTRUMEN PENILAIAN THREE-TIER MULTIPLE CHOICE UNTUK MENGUKUR KETERAMPILAN BERPIKIR KRITIS SISWA PADA MATERI TERMOKIMIA https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/alotropjurnal/article/view/38225 <p><em>The purpose of this study is to develop a three-level multiple choice assessment instrument to measure critical thinking skills of students at SMA Negeri 5 Bengkulu City on thermochemical material.
