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.

BackgroundOnline collaboration tools have been identified as potentially effective means for enhancing student learning, motivation, and engagement in science education. However, their effectiveness in improving science education outcomes among middle school students remains uncertain.ObjectivesThe study aimed to investigate the impact of online collaboration tools on science education outcomes among middle school students, focusing on learning achievement, engagement, and motivation.MethodsA quasi‐experimental design with a pretest‐posttest control group was used in this study. A total of 60 eighth‐grade middle school students were involved in the study, with both the experimental and control groups comprising 30 students each. The experimental group incorporated the use of digital collaboration platforms, including Asana, Slack, and Team Viewer, as instrumental components of group project execution and discussion in their science lessons. Conversely, the control group adhered to the current educational approach in Turkey, characterized by the employment of an inquiry‐based learning strategy in their science instruction. Data was collected over eight weeks using a science achievement test, engagement scale, and science motivation scale.ResultsThe experimental group demonstrated significantly higher post‐test scores compared to the control group, suggesting that online collaboration tools positively impacted science education outcomes. Additionally, survey data indicated high levels of engagement and motivation among the experimental group students when using the online collaboration tools.ConclusionsThe findings support the notion that online collaboration tools can effectively enhance learning, motivation, and engagement in science education among middle school students. These results have significant implications for educators, educational institutions, policymakers, and curriculum developers. Further research is needed to examine the potential of these tools in various educational contexts and with different student populations. This will help broaden the understanding of how online collaboration tools can be integrated into diverse learning environments, potentially benefiting a larger number of students and further improving science education outcomes.

“…Representation at the macroscopic level is a level of chemical representation obtained through observation of phenomena that can be seen and felt by students' senses or phenomena that occur in real everyday life. Chemical phenomena can be observed at the macroscopic level, but their explanations often lie at the sub-microscopic level (Petillion & McNeil, 2020;Rahmawati et al, 2022). In addition, many phenomena at the sub-microscopic level are represented symbolically such as the use of atomic symbols, compounds, and the use of chemical equation symbols.…”

“…Russell and Kozma, (2005) explicitly state representation skills as a term used to describe several skills and practices that reflect the use of a diversity of representations. By using representation skills, students will better understand the abstract concepts in chemistry by combining the macroscopic level and sub-microscopic level into a symbolic level through chemical equations (Bucat & Mocerino, 2009;Rahmawati et al, 2022;Sari & Seprianto, 2018). On the other hand, most students have difficulty representing various chemistry concepts.…”

This research aims to determine whether there is an increase in students' representation abilities after using PhET Simulations on the topic of chemical reactions. This type of research was quasi-experimental using a pretest and posttest control group design. This research involved two groups of students, namely the experimental group using PhET Simulations during the learning process while the control group only used conventional worksheets. The data collection technique used a 25-item test that refers to indicators of representational ability. This hypothesis test uses the t-test (Independent Sample t-Test) using the assumption that the data is normally distributed and homogeneous. The results of the analysis show that there was an influence of using PhET Simulation in improving students' representation abilities at MA Al-Hikmah as evidenced by the sig (2-tailed) value of 0.000 < 0,05 so that H0 is rejected with the n-Gain value in the experimental class of 0.71 which is in the high category.
