Development of Guided Inquiry-Based Chemical Handout in Buffer Solution Materials for Senior High School

Abstract

This research is motivated by the still limited teaching materials or learning tools that facilitate students in enriching  experiences,  developing  knowledge  and activeness of students, and supporting students to formulate their  own  discoveries.  The  limitations  of  these  learning tools will certainly affect the quality of learning, especially in chemistry learning. The purpose of this study is to develop  a  guided  inquiry-based  chemical  handout  on  a valid buffer solution based on aspects of content suitability, language worthiness, presentation worthiness and graphic worthiness. The research design used research and development design with a 4-D development model. The 4- D development model has four stages: Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. This research was carried out until the development stage and followed by limited trials. Data collection techniques was in the form of validation sheets   and   questionnaire   responses   of   teachers   and students. Data analysis technique used descriptive analysis. The results show an average percentage rating of three experts at 93% with a valid category. The results of trials to teachers and students each obtained an average percentage score of 94% and 86%. From the results of the study it can be concluded that the guided inquiry-based chemical handout on buffer solution material for SMA is valid and good for a learning handout.
