Descriptive Analysis of Learning Outcomes, Misconceptions, and Inhibiting Material on Benzene Material

Abstract

Based on the results of the questionnaire analysis distributed to 10 teachers in the city of Padang, it is known that the average student learning outcomes in benzene material are categorized as moderate. This is evidenced by the percentage of answers given by the teacher, where 31% -60% of students complete the material. The purpose of this study is to describe learning outcomes, misconceptions, and inhibiting material in benzene material. This study uses the Mixed Method with Convergent Mixed Parallel Design. The research was conducted on 29 students at a high school in the city of Padang. The instrument used is the Structured Essay Diagnostic Test of Chemistry (SEDToC) with a total of 14 questions with 58 sub questions. The results showed that the percentage of completeness of student learning outcomes was 0% where out of 29 students, none of the students had passed the SEDToC test on benzene. This is due to the misconceptions experienced by students. A total of 27 misconceptions were found in students' answers. This misconception is caused by the presence of an inhibiting material in the benzene material, which implements the properties of benzene.
