Assessing the feasibility of chemical laboratory safety videos

Abstract

Laboratory activities are inseparable from learning chemistry. Consequently, chemistry students should master several skills in the laboratory, which they might not have it in secondary school. However, there are many potential hazards to be considered in activities in chemical laboratories. The lack of knowledge and experience of first-year chemistry students causes the possibility of accidents in the chemical laboratory higher. Therefore, in this study, chemistry laboratory safety videos were developed and assessed by experts, while questioners and interviews were used to collect the data. The assessment result is that the videos are feasible and ready to use after the input from experts and users are implemented in the developed videos.
