Innovative Learning Material with Project to Improve Students Achievement on the Teaching of Acid-Base Equilibrium

Implementation of competence-based curriculum for Chemistry become a strategy to pulfil an Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (Kerangka Kualifikasi Nasional Indonesia, KKNI), and therfore it needs to apply active learning through project to provide the students with appropriate knowledge and skills on the subject they learn. This study is aimed to provide an innovative chemistry learning material to be used as learning media on the teaching of acid-base equilibrium. The research is carried out through innovation of learning material with project followed by the integration of multimedia into a learning package to meet the national standard requirement. The developed learning material was then be implemented as a guide material for students to complete the projects during the teaching and learning activities. Research results has showed that sets of standard projects on acid-base equilibrium topic have successfully provided that were integrated in the textbook suited to the university curriculum. The complete and innovative learning package has been designed with multimedia. It has been proved that a package of innovative learning material has been found to be effective to be used to help students to learn analytical chemistry. Students' learning style has been changed to become independent learning. The students are enthusiasm to do the given projects and improve their achievement on chemistry. An innovative learning material are able to guide the students to learn and to improve their knowledge and skill to meet required competence needed in the KKNI curriculum.
