Innovation And Chemical Entrepreneurship: Chemistry Learning Motivation Booster
Keywords:
Learning Motivation, Innovation, Chemical Entrepreneurship, Module, ChemistryAbstract
Chemistry is widely regarded as one of the most challenging STEM disciplines for students pursuing further education in the science stream. Currently, the attrition rate in the field of chemistry is significant, despite the substantial impact that knowledge of chemistry has on enhancing our way of life. A strong inclination towards learning is crucial, as it will drive students to engage in passionate study and guarantee their perseverance in the subject. This study focuses on the effect of an intervention that combines innovation and chemical entrepreneurship on students' learning motivation in chemistry. To assess the students' level of enthusiasm to learn, a pre-test and post-test consisting of 25 statements were conducted before and after the module was implemented, with a two-month gap between the two tests. There were about 60 pre-university students who participated in this study, which used quasi-experimental design research. The data analysis revealed a statistically significant difference in the post-test scores between the treatment group (M = 72.93, SD = 1.230) and the control group (M = 67.33, SD = 3.407), t(29) = 9.131, p > 0.05 (two-tailed). An increase in learning motivation in the treatment group suggests that innovation and chemical entrepreneurship boost student engagement and interest in learning chemistry.
