Analisis Kesulitan Belajar Siswa Pada Materi Struktur Atom

Abstract

This research aimed at analyzing student learning difficulty in answering chemistry questions on Atomic Structure lessonat the tenth grade of State Senior High School 12 Pekanbaru. It was a qualitative descriptive research. 20 test items and interview to 35 students were the techniques of collecting the data. P= b/n×100 % formula was used to analyze the data. The analysis result showed that students experiencing learning difficulty about the concept were 59.73% and 74.91% in calculation. Interview result showed that the lack of student comprehension in understanding the concept and calculation on Atomic Structure lesson, the use of formula in answering questions that was often wrong, teacher's habit in learning chemistry that was writing on the whiteboardonly, and the students who were lack of anxiety in answering examples of questions given by the teachers. So, it could be concluded that there were learning difficultieson Atomic Structure lesson of Chemistry subjectat the tenth grade of MIPA at State Senior High School 12 Pekanbaru.

An Investigation into whether Applying Augmented Reality (AR) in Teaching Chemistry Enhances Chemical Cognitive Ability

“…Traditional teaching methods in chemistry education often rely on lectures and rote memorization rather than fostering active learning and critical thinking skills, which may not develop students' cognitive abilities effectively. Consequently, students encounter difficulties in grasping and applying concepts related to atomic structure, including comprehension gaps, incorrect formula usage, reliance on teacher-centric instruction, and anxiety when tackling chemistry questions (Afrianis & Ningsih, 2022). Moreover, the abstract nature of atomic chemistry compounds these challenges, as students cannot directly observe atomic structures through conventional means (Wu & Yezierski, 2023).…”

Description of student learning difficulties in the thermochemistry

“…Learning difficulties are failures in achieving learning goals, characterized by low learning achievement (the value obtained is less than the standard minimum completeness criteria set), so students fail to achieve learning goals [1]. Students' low learning outcomes are caused by certain obstacles, such as internal and external factors [2].…”
