Abstract

This research aims to identify what media and chemistry topic is compatible with implementing PhenoBL from university students' and lecturers' perspectives. This study adopted a survey design method, and the sample consisted of lecturers and science students from 8 provinces in Indonesia: Aceh, West Sumatra, Bengkulu, Riau, North Sumatra, West Java, West Kalimantan, and Central Sulawesi. The sample was obtained using the nonprobability sampling technique and received a total sample of 383 students and 21 lecturers. The research instrument was a semi-structured questionnaire in the form of a google form distributed online. The questionnaire contained questions such as; 1) the need for media for PhenoBL, 2) appropriate media for PhenoBL, and 3) chemistry topics suitable for PhenoBL. This research used descriptive quantitative research methods to describe and analyze the responses of students and lecturers to the questions. This study found that both students and lecturers acquired media for PhenoBL since, through media, science phenomena in nature are easier to bring into the classroom. Then, interactive multimedia and video became media assistance to help present attractive science phenomena relevant to the topic to grab students' interest and motivation. In addition, three chemistry topics were chosen respondents: acids and bases, electrolyte and non-electrolyte, and colloidal mixture. Finally, this study proposed that PhenoBL needs media to deliver information phenomena to help learners gam information about daily life phenomena. This study can be a reference for lecturer reference apply PhenoBL in their class about media and appropriate topics of chemistry. © 2022 American Institute of Physics Inc.. All rights reserved.
