The analysis of ICT needs on Chemistry learning in high school of North Aceh

Abstract

This study aims to describe the analysis of ICT needs in chemical learning in North Aceh Regency High School. The methods used in this study use qualitative descriptive. This study was conducted at 43 high schools located in North Aceh Regency. The subjects in this study were all high school teachers in North Aceh Regency who numbered 86 teachers who taught chemistry subjects. The data collection techniques were observation, interview and questionnaire. The results showed that as many as 25 teachers (29%) did not use and utilize ICT in the learning process, this is due to the lack of facilities and infrastructure that support the availability of ICT devices such as insufficient and adequate information availability, the unavailability of adequate LCDs, the unavailability of computers/computer laboratories (computers are only available for school administration activities), and obstacles that are often experienced, namely the difficulty of internet access and Unstable electricity. A total of 21 teachers (24%) do not understand how to use ICT in learning. A total of 40 teachers (47%) already used and utilize ICT in the learning process. Such as the use of power point slides, learning videos, animated videos, the internet, email and social media.

Implementation of Digital-Based Authentic Assessment to Assess Observing, Inferring and Predicting Skills in Prospective Chemistry Teachers

“…More recently, the use of technology and cuttingedge developments in education have helped design new learning environments that encourage real, authentic, meaningful, and engaging learning experiences (Lawrence & Tar, 2018;Saritas, 2015). One of the ways to improve the quality of education is to utilize information technology to improve the quality of learning activities (Darmaji et al, 2020;Sari et al, 2018;Unaida et al, 2022). In today's digital era, almost all activities can be carried out digitally, as newspapers that have been replaced with digital newspapers, job applications using email, access to population data, student grades, and even the needs of various teacher administrations can be accessed digitally.…”
