Improving creativity of prospective chemistry teacher through chemoentrepreneurship oriented inquiry module on colloid topics

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of Chemoentrepreneurship Oriented Inquiry Module (COIM) a colloid topic to enhance students creativity in teaching chemistry subject. The work was quasi-experimental, including pretest-posttest control group design. The used instrument is in the form of a description test, specially designed to determine the creativity of students. The results showed the use of COIM was effective as proven by 1) increase in student creativity index from 60 to 79, and 2) N-Gain level of attainment was in the range of 0.5 with a medium category. Overall, concluded that the use of Chemoentrepreneurship Oriented Inquiry Module effectively can enhance. Introduction The colloid is one of the learning topics in basic chemistry courses that are very important to be taught to students because it is a highly contextual topic. Sub-chapters in the colloid topic include dispersion systems, types of colloids, colloid properties and the application of colloids in everyday life.
