Background: The development of good learning resources in line with current technology to facilitate active learning has become a trend in education. An innovative learning material is believed to be able to motivate the students to learn and to improving students' skills for chemistry and pharmacy students to handle chemical reaction. Objectives: The study aimed to enact an innovative learning material with guided project to be implemented as learning resources to improve student's performance in organic chemistry. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out at Universitas Negeri Medan with the involvement of 180 chemistry students in the Department of Chemistry. It consisted of the development and standardization of an innovative learning package with guided project and implementing it for the teaching of carboxylic acid topic. Results and Conclusion: An innovative learning package with project contextual example related to carboxylic acid topic has been developed in a systematic order and the projects were provided to guide the students to become independent learners. The learning package was easy to follow and guided the students to do scientific investigations. The guide projects integrated in the learning package facilitated the students to gain deeper understanding of organic chemistry concept, be able to set their own project to keep the students engage in curiosity and problem solving and develop students' skills on planning, actions and reporting the project results. The developed learning material is very effective to improve students' competence, where students' performance in experimental class (M=83.23±4.41) was higher than that in control class (M=77.22±4.79). Students' learning style has been changed to become independent learner.

Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kualitas buku ajar kimia di SMA/MA Kelas XI Semester 1 yang dihasilkan dalam penelitian ini sehingga memenuhi standar kualitas seperti yang dipersyaratkan oleh BSNP dan sesuai dengan kurikulum 2013. Populasi dari penelitian ini adalah guru-guru kimia di SMA/MA yang ada di Kota Medan, Propinsi Sumatera Utara. Sampel penelitian diambil secara purposive. Pendekatan yang digunakan untuk mencapai tujuan yang telah dirumuskan adalah penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Data berupa penilaian kualitas buku diperoleh dari angket yang diberikan pada responden yaitu guru-guru kimia SMA/MA di Kota Medan. Teknik analisis data menggunakan independent sample t-test dengan SPSS 20 for windows pada taraf signifikansi α = 0,05. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model pembelajaran kooperatif berbasis masalah dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa. Hal ini ditunjukkan dari hasil penelitian yang menunjukkan rata-rata nilai hasil belajar siswa dengan model pembelajaran kooperatif berbasis masalah lebih tinggi dibandingkan rata-rata nilai hasil belajar siswa dengan model pembelajaran kooperatif. PENDAHULUANPendidikan memegang peranan penting dalam proses pembangunan bangsa. Harus disadari bahwa proses pendidikan selalu diarahkan untuk menyediakan atau membentuk tenaga terdidik yang profesional bagi kepentingan bangsa Indonesia. Pendidikan yang berkualitas merupakan hal yang penting yang merupakan dasar kualitas manusia Indonesia. Oleh karena itu, pemerintah terus berupaya untuk meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan melalui perbaikan-perbaikan baik sarana maupun prasarana pendidikan. Inovasi dalam pendidikan sering dihubungkan dengan pembaharuan yang berasal dari hasil pemikiran kreatif, temuan dan modifikasi yang memuat ide dan metode yang dipergunakan untuk mengatasi suatu permasalahan pendidikan (Situmorang, 2006). Dalam upaya peningkatan mutu pendidikan pada masa sekarang ini perlu diiringi peningkatan proses belajar mengajar dan belajar memerlukan konsentrasi yang tinggi, oleh karena itu perlu menciptakan suasana kelas yang dapat menunjang kegiatan belajar

The aim of this research was to know the feasibility and student learning outcomes of chemistry learning media based on android. This research is a type of research and development which is adapted from the ADDIE Analysis, Design, Development Implementation model. The media developed was tested on 30 students of class XI IPA RK Serdang Murni Lubuk Pakam Private High School. The data was collected through the expert validation sheet of student learning outcomes. The data analysis technique used quantitative and qualitative data analysis. The results of the research and the development concluded that: (1) Android-based chemistry learning media for class XI IPA students in this thermochemical material was developed with a 4D model and designed in the form of an application in the form of an android studio with the java programming language. (2) Android-based chemistry learning media for class XI Senior high school’s students have been declared eligible (valid) to be used in thermochemical learning. Eligibility (validity) of Android-based chemistry learning media for high school students of class XI, is found qualitatively based on the evaluation of material expert validators and media experts in terms of the feasibility of content, presentation, language and graphics according to BSNP with a mean of 4.04. (3) Based on the learning outcomes of students who are taught using Android-based chemistry learning media, it is not the same with the KKM value (75) based on the obtained mean of 90.17 with the highest value of 100 and the lowest score of 80.Thus, Android-based chemistry learning media in thermochemical  is suitable for school use.

This study aims to see whether the learning outcomes of students who are taught with Android-based chemistry learning media are higher than the KKM scores, determine the feasibility of Android-based chemistry learning media developed based on BSNP standards and determine student responses to ChamRaAte media. The media feasibility data and student responses were analyzed descriptively, while the learning outcome data were statistically analyzed with the left side t test. Based on the results of data analysis, the Android-based chemistry learning media developed met the BSNP eligibility standards with an average feasibility of 3.8 with very valid criteria and did not need to be revised. The results of student responses to ChamRaAte media obtained a total percentage of 98%, which means that students received and responded to the media very well. The results of the t test using SPSS 25 obtained sig (2-tailed)> 0.05 (0.142> 0.05) and - t table <t count (-1.729 <1.531), which means that the learning outcomes of students who are taught with Android-based chemistry learning media are higher than KKM value.
