  • The impact of chemlab-based interactive media to improving students’ information literacy on electrochemical
    Citra Ayu Dewi, Martini, Mujakir
    Multidisciplinary Science Journal, 2026
    Information literacy in higher education is crucial because it enhances students’ critical thinking skills. This encompasses their ability to identify, gather, comprehend, analyze, synthesize, and utilize information, as well as their confidence in managing information throughout their academic journey. This study investigates the impact of ChemLab-based interactive media in online learning on improving students’ information literacy. A one-group pretest-posttest experimental design was employed, involving 75 students enrolled in a basic chemistry course focusing on electrochemistry. A validated and reliable 30-item multiple-choice instrument was used to measure outcomes. The results indicated an N-Gain value of 0.33, which falls into the medium category. This suggests that students’ information literacy improved following instruction with ChemLab-based interactive media. Furthermore, students’ evaluations of the ChemLab platform indicated a greater inclination to engage in learning through ChemLab compared to non-ChemLab or traditional educational platforms. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of ChemLab-based interactive media in chemistry education enhances students’ cognitive abilities and supports a deeper understanding of chemistry concepts through virtual activities.
  • Trends and effectiveness of metacognitive strategies in chemistry learning: A systematic review
    Citra Ayu Dewi, Martini Martini, Mujakir Mujakir
    Multidisciplinary Reviews, 2026
    Metacognitive strategies have gained increasing attention in chemistry education as a means to enhance students’ ability to plan, monitor, and evaluate their learning processes. These strategies are considered essential in promoting deeper understanding, critical thinking, and independent learning, particularly in complex scientific domains such as chemistry. This study aims to systematically review the trends, instructional models, psychological dimensions, and assessment methods associated with the use of metacognitive strategies in chemistry learning over the past decade. The primary objective is to identify which pedagogical approaches and supporting factors most effectively foster students’ metacognitive development. Adopting a systematic review methodology, this research follows the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol. A total of 50 peer-reviewed articles published between 2014 and 2024 were analyzed, sourced from the Scopus and Google Scholar databases. The inclusion criteria focused on studies that explicitly addressed metacognitive skills within the context of chemistry learning and employed validated assessment instruments. Findings reveal that Project-Based Learning (PjBL) emerges as the most frequently utilized instructional model, followed by Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and structured problem-solving strategies. Key psychological factors influencing the effectiveness of metacognitive strategy implementation include emotion regulation, personal resilience, learning autonomy, and self-scaffolding, with emotion regulation having the most pronounced impact. Regarding assessment, non-test instruments—such as structured observations, reflective journals, and student questionnaires—are favored due to their ability to capture dynamic learning processes and internal reflections more effectively than conventional tests. The study contributes to the ongoing discourse on educational innovation by providing a comprehensive overview of effective practices and proposing directions for future research and instructional design in chemistry education.

  • Implementation of case-based learning in science education: A systematic review*
    Citra Ayu Dewi, Sri Rahayu
    Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2023
    Case-Based Learning (CBL) in science education has developed rapidly. This paper reviews the literature on trends in implementing CBL in science education. For this systematic review, we followed the recommendation of the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework. Data were obtained from the ERIC, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases by taking scientific articles from reputable international journals with a Scopus Q1-Q4 index and impact factor ranging from 0.040 to 3.092, which is the main indicator of choosing quality of journal articles. Articles were searched using titles and keywords "Case-Based or Case Method or Science Education" from 2012 to 2022. The search yielded 1183 articles, and the selection results were 52 articles for review. The study found that CBL was represented mostly in three learning approaches, namely CBL-IBL, CBL-PBL, CBL-PjBL, and the rest being CBL-Blended, CBL-Oline, and CBL-Collaborative. Case-based applications in science education were dominated by health (58%), chemistry (35%), physics (1%) and biology (6%). The reviewed studies encountered some difficulties in implementing CBL. One of them is that solving the problem takes a long time. This review revealed case-based approach to be appropriate to be implemented in an active learning activity based on real-life context.
