The conception of pre-service chemistry teachers on chemistry contents in the context of conductive glass

Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study is to obtain the conception of pre-service chemistry teachers related to chemical contents in the context of conductive glass investigated through didactic design. Descriptive research method was chosen as the method in this study and the analysis was carried out quantitatively and qualitatively with 27 participants of the fourth semester at one of the universities in Bandar Lampung. The instrument used were 11 essay questions covered in 7 different discourses. The obtained results will be used as preference to make didactical design in the context of conductive glass. Based on student answers, it is known that 70.4% still have a low understanding on resistivity and semiconductor concepts. The low level of understanding shows that there are still many students who do not understand the chemical contents as basic knowledge for making didactic design to teach chemical contents in the context of conductive glass.
