Chemical domino card game integrated with "Jamu Madura" natural materials in improving students' science literacy

Abstract

The Domino card game media for chemical elements is integrated with natural Madurese herbal ingredients as an alternative media for learning elemental chemistry. Science literacy skills are needed in the learning process, as well as activities in society along with the development of access to information and communication in science content. This research aims to analyze the effect of implementing a chemical Domino card game with integrated elements of Madurese herbal medicine on increasing students' science literacy. This research is a quasi-experimental research with Non-equivalent Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. This research was conducted in class XII SMA with a sample size of 60 students. Sample selection was carried out randomly. Science literacy skills were measured using an 8-item essay test. The science literacy indicators used are explain scientific phenomena, evaluate and design scientific investigations, and interpret data scientifically. Data were analyzed using a single ANCOVA with pretest as a covariate. The results of the research show that there is a significant influence of the application of web-based elemental chemistry Domino cards on students' science literacy skills in elemental chemistry material. These results indicate that web-based elemental chemistry Domino cards can improve students' science literacy skills in chemistry learning.
