Abstract


Salah satu strategi yang dapat dilakukan oleh guru kimia untuk mengimplementasikan pendekatan kimia hijau dalam kegiatan praktikum di sekolah adalah melalui praktikum kimia dengan skala kecil. Namun, penerapan praktikum skala kecil masih jarang dilakukan oleh guru kimia di sekolah. Hal ini terjadi karena untuk mengembangkan praktikum kimia skala kecil, diperlukan keterampilan guru dalam mengembangkan praktikum yang ramah lingkungan dan sesuai dengan tujuan pembelajaran. Dengan demikian, kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk mengenalkan dan memberikan pengalaman kepada guru dalam mengembangkan praktikum kimia skala kecil. Kegiatan ini dilakukan menggunakan metode workshop pengembangan prosedur praktikum kimia skala kecil. Keberhasilan kegiatan workshop diukur menggunakan instrumen berupa kuesioner yang diberikan pada awal (pretest) dan akhir (posttest) kegiatan untuk mengetahui pemahaman guru terhadap praktikum kimia skala kecil dan kaitannya dengan pendekatan kimia hijau. Berdasarkan hasil pretest dan post-test diketahui bahwa kegiatan workshop pengembangan eksperimen kimia hijau dengan pendekatan skala kecil dapat meningkatkan pemahaman guru kimia terhadap SDGs, kimia hijau, dan praktikum kimia skala kecil. Kegiatan ini memberikan dampak positif pada kemampuan guru karena memberikan pengalaman secara langsung untuk mengembangkan prosedur praktikum kimia skala kecil. Dengan demikian, guru menjadi lebih mudah untuk mengimplementasikan pendekatan kimia hijau melalui praktikum kimia skala kecil di sekolah.

One strategy that chemistry teachers can employ to implement the green chemistry approach in practicum activities in schools is through small-scale chemistry practicums. However, the application of small-scale chemistry practicum is rarely used by chemistry teachers in schools. This happens because to develop small-scale chemistry practicums, teachers need to have the skills to create practicums that are environmentally friendly and align with learning goals. Thus, teachers need to be introduced and given experience to develop small-scale chemistry practicums. This activity was conducted using the workshop method to develop small-scale chemistry practicum procedures. The success of the workshop activities was measured using instruments in the form of questionnaires at the beginning (pretest) and end (post-test) of the activity to determine the teacher's understanding of small-scale chemistry practicum and its relation to the green chemistry approach. This activity had a positive impact on teachers' abilities because it provided hands-on experience to develop small-scale chemistry practicum procedures. Thus, it will be easier for teachers to implement the green chemistry approach by using a small-scale chemistry practicum in schools.
