Diagnosis of basic chemistry II in student program study of the chemistry of FMIPA UNIMED

Abstract

This study aims to determine the extent of mastery of students of the chemistry education program FMIPA UNIMED on basic chemical material II on the subject of redox and electrochemistry, chemical and radiochemical kinetics. The population in this study was at the same time a sample of education students in the 2016 class of the FMIPA UNIMED chemistry education program totaling 108 people. The instruments used were multiple-choice test questions and questionnaires. The results of the study showed that 108 students of the 2016 chemistry education program FMIPA UNIMED obtained that the level of mastery of students in solving basic chemical questions II on the subject of redox and electrochemistry, chemical kinetics, radiochemistry is low, namely students who have a high mastery level 0 (0%) Based on the cognitive aspects of students on knowledge questions (C1), 14 (12.96%) students had a high level of mastery. On the question of cognitive aspects of students on understanding questions (C2), 5 (04.63%) students have a high level of mastery. For the question of cognitive aspects of the application (C3), 25 (23.15%) students had a high level of mastery. For the cognitive aspects of analysis (C4), 2 (01.85%) students have a high level of mastery. From the results of the student questionnaire answers that students feel the difficulty of learning basic chemistry, especially on the subject of redox and electrocima, chemical and radiochemical kinetics. Reading the interest and motivation of students to study basic chemistry II is still low.
