Review challenges and constraints of project-based learning in chemical instrumentation to enhance competence and life skills

Abstract

Abstract This article contains a review of research results (2008-2018) on project-based learning in science, especially in chemistry learning. Project-based learning is most appropriately applied to enhance critical thinking and creative skills in high learning. The result of a review of project-based learning in science and non-science learning have been discussed, project-based learning in chemistry and discourse apply project-based learning in chemical instrumentation. There are many challenges and obstacles to overcome so that project-based learning in instrumentation chemistry runs smoothly. At the end of the section, we described the benefits to be gained if project-based learning is applied in chemical instrumentation, which will increase competence through mastery of trace analysis methods and life skills through increased time management, responsibility, problem-solving, self-direction, collaboration, communication, creativity, and work ethic. The author also provides an overview of project completion on factors that can increase or decrease the success of project-based learning in instrumentation chemistry, and suggest further research directions.
