Implementing Value Clarification Technique to Improve Environmental Awareness Among Pre-Service Chemistry Teacher

Abstract

Abstract-This research aimed at describing the implementation of value clarification technique combined with problem based learning and project based learning in basic chemistry course for organic chemistry topics. The subjects of this study were all students of Preservice chemistry teacher from Chemistry Education Study Program of Teacher Training and Education Faculty of Universitas Syiah Kuala in Indonesia. They were at even semester in 2014-2015. They learned by problem and project based learning and implemented values by choosing, prizing and acting topics of organic in daily life. To collect data used field notes, documentation, questionnaires and a portfolio report. To analysis data used qualitative method as collection, reduction, presentation data and conclusion. The research conclusions were, learning organic chemistry by integrating project based learning and problem based learning strategies with value clarification technique could be applied in chemistry learning. Students become able to clarify the human value in nature with regard to most of the topics they have studied in organic chemistry. Based on the findings, this study recommended that the innovative learning strategies such as project based learning, problem based learning combining with value clarification technique, could be adopted in chemistry education courses to increase environmental awareness of pre-service chemistry teacher.

Fostering Environmental Virtue for Children through School Urban Farming in Bandung, Indonesia

“…The development of school culture to improve environmental caring character through such programme still requires the participation of teachers, parents, and social community [33]. Learning through farming practices as incorporated in this programme is suitable to provide opportunities for children in developing characteristic values related to environmental awareness [34]. This kind of activity becomes a model of character building that interprets the value of environmental awareness in the formal domain to young citizens in order to become civilized human.…”

Pengaruh Model Pembelajaran Value Clarification Technique terhadap Nilai Kemandirian Siswa Kelas IV

“…berbeda dengan penelitian ini yang menggunakan model value clarification technique untuk meningkatkan nilai kemandirian siswa. Selain itu, hasil penelitian Sulastri, Budimansyah, & Sopandi (2015) penerapan value clarification technique memberikan pengaruh sangat baik pada siswa, yaitu pada kesadaran lingkungan dan meningkatkan kemampuan komunikasi yang lebih baik pada siswa. Selain meningkatkan karir siswa, model value clarification technique ternyata juga mampu meningkatkan kesadaran lingkungan dan komunikasi siswa.…”

“…Penelitian dengan model pembelajaran serupa, yaitu value clarification technique pernah dilakukan oleh Emmett & Mosconi (2003) yang hasilnya Value Clarification dapat dijadikan alternatif sebagai upaya konselor dalam mengembangkan karir siswa. Sementara itu, penelitian Sulastri, Budimansyah, & Sopandi (2015) hasilnya penerapan value clarification technique memberikan pengaruh sangat baik pada siswa, yaitu pada kesadaran lingkungan dan meningkatkan kemampuan komunikasi yang lebih baik pada siswa. Penelitian lain juga dilakukan oleh Guthrie & Fritz (2017) hasilnya value clarification technique membantu siswa mengidentifikasi dan mengklarifikasi nilai dalam dirinya untuk menjadi pemimpin yang memiliki etika dan dibutuhkan baik hari ini maupun dimasa yang akan datang.…”

Values Clarification Technique and Self-Concept in Instilling Elementary Students’ Social Attitudes

“…For example, the study of (Parmiti, 2018) shows that VCT in social science subject results to students' higher social attitudes and achievement than conventional teaching. Besides, in chemistry learning, VCT can be integrated with the project-based learning and problem-based approach learninges (see Sulastri, et al 2015).…”
