The research method used is Research and Development (RnD) with the ADDIE research model, which includes the stages of analysis, product design, product development, product implementation, and final evaluation of the product. The research is based on the limited use of digital technology in learning and the lack of variation in teaching materials used during the lessons. Based on the needs analysis, there is a need for improvement in the presentation of teaching materials to make them more varied. The expert validation results indicate that the developed electronic module is valid and feasible to use.&nbsp;</em><em>Based on the trial results of the electronic module, a satisfaction percentage of 89% was obtained, indicating that this electronic module is able to attract students' interest in learning chemistry because it is practical to use</em></p> <p><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>Electronic Module, Chemical Equilibrium, 7E Learning Cycle, Learning Chemistry</em></p> Hayyun Lisdiana, Dian Triwidiastuti, Tiwi Nur Astuti Copyright (c) 2025 Hayyun Lisdiana, Dian Triwidiastuti, Tiwi Nur Astuti https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/alotropjurnal/article/view/45692 Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 PENGEMBANGAN E-MODUL PENUNTUN PRAKTIKUM KIMIA MATERI TITRASI ASAM BASA https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/alotropjurnal/article/view/45864 <p><em>This study aims to determine the feasibility, student responses, and students' psychomotor assessments when using the developed e-module for chemical practicum guidance on acid-base titration.

This study focused on developing a project-integrated chemistry e-module on the topic, aiming to produce a valid, practical, and effective learning resource. The development model used was ADDIE, which consisted of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The validation results showed that the e-module was very feasible in terms of content with a score of 94% and feasible in terms of media with a score of 73%. After revision, the media score increased to 96% with a very feasible category. A small-scale trial involving 12 students of grade XII in the 2024/2025 academic year obtained very positive responses with an average of 94%. The implementation with 27 students of grade XI IPA 1 MAN 1 Bengkulu through pre-test and post-test resulted in an N-Gain score of 0.74 (high category). These findings proved that the developed e-module was effective in improving students’ understanding and was feasible to be used as an alternative chemistry learning resource on synthetic polymers.</p> Nabilla Aprillia Nur Suandi, Rina Elvia, Sura Menda Ginting Copyright (c) 2025 Nabilla Aprillia Nur Suandi, Rina Elvia, Sura Menda Ginting https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/alotropjurnal/article/view/45867 Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Characterization of a Biochemistry Laboratory Practicum Based on Local Bengkulu Context https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/alotropjurnal/article/view/45944 <p><em>This study aims to identify the characteristics of a biochemistry practicum program on DNA isolation from local Bengkulu citrus, developed to enhance students’ systems thinking skills. A descriptive analysis was conducted through the review of course outlines, practicum implementation documents, student learning modules, and worksheets, as well as observations of practicum sessions and evaluations of students’ learning experiences. The practicum program was implemented with 37 students enrolled in a Biochemistry course at a public university in Bandung. The findings reveal three key characteristics. First, the practicum was restructured from a textbook-based model into a contextual practicum using local Bengkulu citrus as an authentic sample. Second, the practicum employed modern laboratory tools—including microtubes, micropipettes, vortex mixers, and centrifuges—which improved the accuracy of DNA isolation and visualization. Third, the activity design integrated systems thinking skills through component analysis, process interrelationships, and result interpretation. Overall, the developed practicum is contextual, modern, and systems-oriented, enhancing both the relevance and quality of students’ laboratory learning experiences</em></p> Nadia Amida, Florentina Maria Titin Supriyanti Copyright (c) 2025 Nadia Amida, Florentina Maria Titin Supriyanti https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/alotropjurnal/article/view/45944 Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL SNAKE AND LADDER GAME MEDIA FOR BASIC CHEMICAL LAW MATERIAL https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/alotropjurnal/article/view/46104 <p><em>This research is a research and development (R&amp;D) that aims to produce a product in the form of a web-based digital snakes and ladders game on fundamental la</em><em>w in chemistry.

The development of teaching materials was carried out using the Four Steps Teaching Material Development (4STMD) method. This study focuses on the Design and Development stages. The results of the teaching material development at the Design stage produce a teaching material design. The Development stage in developing teaching materials uses the Four Steps Teaching Material Development (4STMD) method, which consists of four stages: selection, structuring, characterization, and didactic reduction. The first stage begins with a selection process that produces 11 competency achievement indicators and 18 concept labels that must be developed. In the source selection step, 2 international textbooks and 1 high school textbook were used. The results obtained at the structuring stage are concept maps; macro structures and three levels of representation that are in accordance with the context of daily life and Islamic values. Characterization was carried out by 30 high school students and it was found that 4 texts were included in the difficult to understand category so that didactic reduction was carried out. The results of the didactic reduction stage were texts that were difficult for students to understand were given treatment with a type of didactic reduction back to the qualitative and neglect stages. The conclusion obtained from the results of this development research was the formation of chemistry teaching materials for Thermochemistry material that integrated Islamic values.</em></p> <p><em>&nbsp;</em></p> Triana Krisandini, Kristina Mulia Copyright (c) 2025 Triana Krisandini, Kristina Mulia https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/alotropjurnal/article/view/46689 Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 PERBANDINGAN PENERAPAN MOOCs DAN WHATSAPP MENGGUNAKAN MODEL PROJECT-BASED LEARNING PADA MATA KULIAH KIMIA ORGANIK 1 TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR MAHASISWA https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/alotropjurnal/article/view/45895 <p>This study aims to improve the quality of learning in Organic Chemistry 1. The specific objective of this study is to determine the difference in learning outcomes between students who use MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and WhatsApp using the Project-Based Learning model. The type of research used is quasi-experimental research with a sample of third-semester students from Class A and Class B. This study uses two experimental classes, namely Class A using MOOCs and Class B using the WhatsApp application. The data analysis used is the average score, homogeneity test, normality test, and t-test. Based on the research results, there is a difference in learning outcomes between MOOCs and WhatsApp Group (WAG) applications with the same learning model treatment, namely the PjBL model, with a sig value (2-tailed) of 0.000, indicating p &lt; 0.05. It can be concluded that there is a significant difference in the learning outcomes of the two experimental classes. Student responses to MOOCs and WAG applications are very good. Students stated that MOOCs and WAG applications are very practical, interesting, and easily accessible, especially for access to learning materials.</p> <p><em>&nbsp;</em><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>MOOCs, WhatsApp, Learning Outcomes, Project-based learning</em></p> Dewi Handayani, Elvinawati, Mellyta Uliyandari Copyright (c) 2025 Dewi Handayani, Elvinawati, Mellyta Uliyandari https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/alotropjurnal/article/view/45895 Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000
