DEVELOPMENT ON A MULTIMEDIA-BASED CHEMISTRY CONCEPT INVENTORY TEST AS AN INSTRUMENT OF THE IDENTIFICATION OF MISCONCEPTIONS OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS AND MACROMOLECUL

Abstrak / Ringkasan

This research was research and development (R&D) of assessment instruments in the field of chemistry education. The purpose of this development research was to produce an interactive CD containing a standardized multimedia-based Chemistry Concept Inventory (CCI) test and to know the quality of CCI test developed to identify misconceptions of senior high schools (SMA/MA) students based on the assessments of high-school chemistry teachers of SMA/MA.
The development on the multimedia-based CCI test on the lesson subject of organic compounds and macromolecules was guided by the two consultants and got input from media experts and peer reviews. The research instrument was in the form of questionnaires which contained aspects and criteria to assess the quality of the resulting CCI test. Assessments were performed by five chemistry teachers of SMA/MA teaching both public and private schools in Yogyakarta area. The assessments were conducted on the six assessment aspects of the aspect of the concept’ truth, breadth and depth, the aspect of languages used, feasibility aspects, the visual display aspect, the audio display aspect, and the aspect of ease of use. The results of the assessments were in qualitative data converted into quantitative data, then tabulated and analyzed with the criteria guidance of ideal assessing categories to determine the quality of the multimedia-based CCI test.
This research product was in the form of a multimedia-based CCI test on the lesson subject of organic compounds and macromolecular stored in CD. This multimedia-based CCI test consisted of 2 components, namely item components and discussion components. Based on the assessments of the five chemistry teachers of SMA/ MA, the multimedia-based CCI test that was developed had very good quality (SB) for the item component with an average score of 118.8 above the ideal score of 116. Meanwhile, the discussion component had a quality very good (SB) with an average score of 41.4 above the ideal score of 40. Therefore, the multimedia-based CCI test could be used as an instrument in the identification of misconceptions for SMA / MA students.
