The use of experiments is an important didactic strategy for the chemistry teaching, for motivation and learning of scientific contents, especially when designed in accordance with research teaching, in order to encourage questioning, planning and explanations based on evidence, actions essential for understanding the contents of chemistry. The present work had the objective of evaluating the potential of a continued formation of for chemistry teacher’s workshop, as well as analyzing the impressions of these teachers on experimental work through teaching by investigation. For this, it was conducted the referred workshop focused on the approach of experimentation in a perspective of teaching by investigation with six chemistry teachers of the High School in the city of Serra Talhada, Pernambuco. The application of the workshop occurred in two moments, totaling eight hours. To compose the proposal of continued formation the following activities were used: comics, videos, theoretical classes, presentation of experiments, among other resources. The data were collected from the use of a camera for recording in audio and video, in addition to the material produced by the participating teachers and were analyzed using description/reflection of the actions and discursive textual analysis, respectively. It was possible to perceive the evolution of teachers' conceptions about the use of experimentation in teaching, in a movement of convergence for ideas of work with experimental activities in the perspective of teaching by research

The purpose of this research is produce chemistry teaching material using concept map strategy that valid, practical, and effective to improve understanding of concept and critical thingking ability of student in senior high school. The development of teaching material used to four D Models and was tested to 2 classes in class X of SMAN 1 Muara Bengkal second semester in academic year 2014/2015. Teaching material tested to One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Tested of teaching material used to one group pretest and posttest design. The data collection used observation method, test, and quetionnaires. The data analysis techniques used descriptive analysis of quantitative, qualitative and statistic non parametric. The results of this research are: 1) Teaching material developed has a valid category; 2) The practicality of teaching material in terms of a good category in feasibility of lesson plans and the students activities in accordance with steps of direct instruction using concept map strategy; and 3) The teaching material effectiveness in terms of: (a) Improving understanding of concept and critical thingking ability of student by getting the n-gain score from students and  the result of non parametric analysis (b) The students’ responds toward material and implementation of teaching are very positive. It’s conclusion that the teaching material through concept map strategy are valid, practical, and effective to improve understanding of concept and critical thingking ability of student in senior high school. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan perangkat pembelajaran Kimia yang berbasis strategi belajar peta konsep yang valid, praktis, dan efektif untuk meningkatkan pemahaman konsep dan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa SMA. Pengembangan perangkat pembelajaran menggunakan model 4-D dan diujicobakan pada 2 kelas di kelas X SMA Negeri 1 Muara Bengkal pada semester genap tahun ajaran 2014/2015. Ujicoba perangkat pembelajaran menggunakan rancangan One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Pengumpulan data menggunakan metode observasi, tes, dan angket. Teknik analisis data menggunakan analisis deskriptif kuantitatif, kualitatif dan uji statistik nonparametrik. Temuan hasil penelitian, yaitu: 1) Perangkat pembelajaran yang dikembangkan berkategori valid; 2) Kepraktisan perangkat pembelajaran ditinjau dari keterlaksanaan RPP berkategori baik dan aktivitas siswa sesuai dengan tahapan-tahapan pada model pembelajaran langsung yang menerapkan strategi belajar peta konsep; dan 3) Keefektifan perangkat pembelajaran ditinjau dari: (a) Peningkatan Hasil belajar pemahaman konsep dan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa yang  terlihat dari nilai n-gain masing-masing siswa serta hasil analisis data nonparametrik yang telah dilakukan; (b) Respon siswa terhadap perangkat dan pelaksanaan pembelajaran sangat positif. Disimpulkan bahwa perangkat pembelajaran kimia berbasis strategi belajar peta konsep yang dikembangkan valid, praktis, dan efektif untuk meningkatkan pemahaman konsep dan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa SMA.

Physical and computer models are frequently used at all levels of science teaching. In emergency and resource limited environments an affordable, easy to implement, and environmentally friendly model would be important for effective teaching. Here, we report on a homemade ball-and-stick type molecular model made from soya chunks and bamboo toothpicks. We implemented the model for high school and graduate level Chemistry teaching both in online and classroom environments. The end semester survey (n=206) showed the model is easy to use and made learning easier. Our study suggested that the model can be an effective and ecofriendly alternative to teach some of the difficult-to-understand topics in Chemistry and related disciplines in resource limited settings.
