ANALISIS KEBUTUHAN MAHASISWA TERHADAP LKM BERBASIS GREEN CHEMISTRY MATERI REAKSI SAPONIFIKASI SECARA KONDUKTOMETRI

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kebutuhan Lembar Kerja Mahasiswa (LKM) praktikum kimia fisika 2 reaksi saponifikasi secara berbasis green chemistry. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan subjek mahasiswa Pendidikan Kimia Universitas Sriwijaya angkatan 2023. Data dikumpulkan melalui angket kebutuhan mahasiswa, kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa bahan ajar dan pelaksanaan praktikum belum sepenuhnya menerapkan prinsip green chemistry serta belum optimal dalam membantu pemahaman mahasiswa. Meskipun demikian, mahasiswa menunjukkan respons positif dan menyatakan membutuhkan LKM praktikum berbasis green chemistry. Oleh karena itu, pengembangan LKM praktikum reaksi saponifikasi berbasis green chemistry dinilai perlu untuk mendukung pembelajaran yang lebih efektif dan ramah lingkungan.

This study aims to analyze the need for green chemistry-based Student Worksheets (SWs) for the 2023 saponification reaction physical chemistry practicum. The study used a qualitative descriptive approach with Chemistry Education students from Sriwijaya University, batch 2023 as subjects. Data were collected through a student needs questionnaire, then analyzed qualitatively descriptively. The results showed that the teaching materials and implementation of the practicum had not fully implemented the principles of green chemistry and were not optimal in supporting student understanding. Nevertheless, students showed a positive response and stated that they needed green chemistry-based SWs for the practicum. Therefore, the development of green chemistry-based SWs for the saponification reaction practicum was deemed necessary to support more effective and environmentally friendly learning.
