THE CHEMISTRY INSTRUCTION PROPLEM IN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

THE CHEMISTRY INSTRUCTION PROPLEM IN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

The subject matter in Senior High School contain concepts which very hard for student know, because have relationship with chemical reactions and equations is new and not yet get in Junior High School. The result of research in some Senior High School shown if Chemistry subject material delivery in Senior High School using Demonstration Method and Discussion apparently less optimal in upgrading activity and student interest study.

In chemical instruction in some Senior High School during seen less interesting, so that student feel surfeited and less have interest at the Chemical study. So that the class condition inclined passive, very less student ask to teacher although the teaching material not yet understanding. In the like Instruction, they student feel will like forced to study so that it heart pressed. The condition pill up annoyed, bored, immaterial, so the student attention, and motivation in instruction still low. The case will give impact to unreached of purpose chemical instruction.

The research result which doing during (Suryono, 2006), actually it lower study result caused at commonly student have difficulty in problem solving relationship with chemical reaction and chemical equation, because lower understanding chemical concept and low interest. Inside that, teacher less give the concrete examples about chemical reactions there are in our environmental and always student saw. So, needed a work for optimally the chemical instruction in class with using nearly and the precise method.

Be based on at the explanation, can talked if the activity less, interest less, and the result study of student caused by some factor is :

1.      The instruction of chemical matter by teacher using demonstration method which just occasionally and discussion inclined make student surfeited, student just crowded less concrete information and discussion not interesting because have theoretic characteristic.

2.      Student not receive straight experience in observe a chemical reaction, so that student thinking the material of chemistry is abstract and hard to understanding.

3.      The teaching method which always using of teacher less variation and not innovative, so that boring and not interesting for student.

The case shown the chemistry teacher competence still need to upgrade.

The less study activity of student in to study chemistry estimated caused by chemistry is not useful in it live future, other estimated if chemistry is so hard to study. For upgrading interest and study motivation of student, teacher needed to do work upgrading introduction quality straight creative. Chemical introduction which oriented at growing skill.
