Recently the trend of words in the world is related to sustainable development such as "green" has become a new trend in everyday human life. This study aimed to analyze and map the chemistry learning with green chemistry insight for undergraduate students of chemistry education program as an effort to conserve the environment as one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The urgency of this study is to support the achievement of SDGs through education, especially the target number 12, responsible consumption and production and/or number 13, climate action. Data collection was used in exploratory method by combining primary and secondary exploratory framework. The primary method was focused on the observation qualitative or quantitative and the secondary on the literature research. Data analysis were used qualitative and quantitative descriptive. It can be concluded that; the efforts to preserve the environment through education can be pursued with green chemistry insight learning. The principles of green chemistry that can be implemented in chemistry learning on suitable material represent in some action such as; waste prevention, use the safe solvent, energy efficiency, and creating safe and secure conditions for learning both in the classroom and laboratory. Chemistry learning have the role to support SDGs through education by using some learning model/methods, such as discussion, concept map, or practical methods as well as Project Based Learning. So, the results of this study can be referred as an alternative learning that have contribution in SDGs achievement through education.

“…This study uses an exploratory descriptive design that emphasizes qualitative rather than quantitative data (Creswell, 2012). According to Alamer (2022) the exploratory research design is to gain a deeper understanding (Gama et al, 2022) of teacher and student perceptions regarding Green chemistry and its principles in chemistry learning. The exploration carried out was to analyze the perceptions of teachers and students towards GC.…”

Green Chemistry (GC) is an issue that is very relevant to chemistry subjects in senior high schools. Chemistry subject is closely related to the environment as one of the pillars of sustainable development. This certainly contributes to the possibility integration of green chemistry principles into chemistry learning. This exploratory research aims to describe the principles of GC that allow it to be integrated into chemistry learning in grades X and XI; describes the high school teacher's and students' perceptions and understanding of GC and its principles in chemistry learning. The subjects in this study were 230 students who were selected purposively from five Senior high schools. Totally 40 chemistry teachers were purposively used as research subjects from a number of high schools throughout South Sulawesi. The instrument used was ten items of teacher's perception questionnaires, while the students' perception questionnaire consisted of twelve items. Guidelines for interviewing teachers and students were used to describe more deeply about their understanding of GC. All instruments have been validated by two experts. The results of the exploration of material elements for phases E and F show that five GC principles can be integrated into learning chemistry. In general, the teacher's perception of GC is good, which assumes that GC is an environmentally friendly concept. Understanding of the five principles of GC for students and teachers is in the moderate and poor categories. This shows the importance of integrating GC principles in the form of positive habits in chemistry learning.

“…Strategic selection capabilities for filtering and reconstructing scanned information are paramount for enterprises' ability to remain competitive (Paliokait_ e and Pac ˇ_ esa, 2015). In fact, not all external information is relevant to innovation, and the inflow of large amounts of information makes the innovation decisions of enterprises more complex (Gama et al, 2022) (Day and Schoemaker, 2006). Thus, the effective interpretation, combination and reorganization of key external information such as technology trends, potential customers and business models can help enterprises improve their understanding of when to use external knowledge and how to formulate strategic priorities (Paliokait_ e and Pac ˇ_ esa, 2015).…”

“…An important root cause of this dilemma is that exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation follow different managerial logics, and enterprises are not aware of the need to deploy different management practices in this context (Chen, 2017; O'Reilly and Binns, 2019). Exploratory innovation often extends beyond the existing market, and the process of such innovation is complicated and fuzzy; accordingly, it is difficult for this process to generate direct benefits (Gama et al , 2022; Lavie et al , 2010; March, 1991). As a result, because of their successful experience and previously established routines, enterprises tend to underestimate the necessity of exploratory innovation at the planning stage and focus solely on exploitative innovation (Andriopoulos and Lewis, 2009; Atuahene-Gima, 2005; Shibata et al , 2022).…”

Purpose This study aims to explore how to overcome and address the loss of exploratory innovation, thereby achieving greater success in exploratory innovation. This phenomenon of loss occurs when enterprises decrease their investment in and engagement with exploratory innovation, ultimately leading to an insufficient amount of such innovation efforts. Drawing on dynamic capabilities, this study investigates the relationship between organizational foresight and exploratory innovation and examines the moderating role of breakthrough orientation/financial orientation. Design/methodology/approach This study used survey data collected from 296 Chinese high-tech companies in multiple industries and sectors. Findings The evidence produced by this study reveals that three elements of organizational foresight (i.e. environmental scanning capabilities, strategic selection capabilities and integrating capabilities) positively influence exploratory innovation. Furthermore, this positive effect is strengthened in the context of a high-breakthrough orientation. Moreover, the relationships among environmental scanning capabilities, strategic selection capabilities and exploratory innovation become weaker as an enterprise’s financial orientation increases, whereas a strong financial orientation does not affect the relationship between integrating capabilities and exploratory innovation. Research limitations/implications Ambidexterity is key to successful enterprise innovation. Compared with exploitative innovation, it is by no means easy to engage in exploratory innovation, which is especially important in high-tech companies. While the loss of exploratory innovation has been observed, few empirical studies have explored ways to promote exploratory innovation more effectively. A key research implication of this study pertains to the role of organizational foresight in the improvement of exploratory innovation in the context of high-tech companies. Originality/value This paper contributes to the broader literature on exploratory innovation and organizational foresight and provides practical guidance for high-tech companies regarding ways of avoiding the loss of exploratory innovation and becoming more successful at exploratory innovation.
