Abstract

Limited laboratory facilities are an important factor causing the low quality of chemistry learning.Therefore, the necessity to develop innovative media is evitable, in particular in the form of simple practical tools made from materials that are easily found in everyday life.If the quality of learning can be improved, then it may encourage students' interest in learning in chemistry.This article reports on the development of an instrument (questionnaire) of students' interest in chemistry lessons at school.The development begins with an analysis of the factors that influence interest in learning from the available literature; and the analysis resulted in 4 (four) indicators of interest, namely (1) happy feeling, (2) interest in performance, (3) attention, and (4) involvement.These four indicators then were developed into relevant questionnaire statements to determine students' perceptions of chemistry learning at school.To test the validity of the contents of the questionnaire, expert validation was carried out by 3 experts in the field of educational psychology.The results of expert validation were then analyzed with the Aiken V formula after previously converting the data into interval data.The results of the analysis show that the value of V ranges from 0.72 to 0.82 which means in the good category for all indicators of interest.In conclusion the student learning interest questionnaire is feasible and ready to be used to determine the effect of innovative learning on student learning interest.
