Innovative chemistry education: An alternative course models in the disruption era

Abstract

Abstract In the era of IR 4.0 and society 5.0 is existed the global disruptive in every aspect of human life even in the education world. This study literally stated the innovation course models in chemistry education. The innovative learning models directed to be able to develop the ability of students’ use of the ICT and work together and communicate with one another in chemistry learning, especially in laboratory activities. The study of Biochemistry showed that laboratory course should be done before the theoretical course. Study of LPBSOURA in Organic Synthesis course using a retrosynthetic approach shows that students applied their concept mastery of several courses related before, green chemistry and skilful in software application in predicting target molecule. The studies also show that innovative learning models could improve students’ generic science, creative and critical thinking skills, using project based learning that can increase students’ thinking and skills to prepare them to face this era.
