ENHANCING CHEMISTRY PROCESS SKILLS IN NINTH-GRADE STUDENTS THROUGH INFOGRAPHIC VIDEO MODULES

The integration of multimedia tools, such as infographic video modules, into the teaching of chemistry has garnered attention for its potential to enhance students' process skills and comprehension.This study explores the effectiveness of these infographic video modules in improving the chemistry process skills of ninth-grade students.The research utilizes an experimental method with a parallel group design, comparing an experimental group using infographic video modules to a control group using traditional teaching methods. The study focuses on key chemistry process skills, including observation, inferring, classifying, predicting, hypothesizing, manipulating, and interpreting. Data was collected through pre-test and post-test assessments to evaluate the impact of the intervention on student performance. Results indicate a significant improvement in the experimental group's post-test scores, with larger gains observed in process skills like inferring, manipulating, and interpreting data. The study's findings suggest that infographic video modules are effective in enhancing the learning experience, fostering active engagement, and improving students' understanding of complex chemistry concepts. The results advocate for the adoption of multimedia tools in science education to support diverse learning styles, promote critical thinking, and improve overall learning outcomes. The study concludes that infographic video modules can serve as a valuable complement to traditional chemistry teaching, contributing to more engaging and effective science education practices.
