Abstract

The VC-MER learning strategy is a student activity-based and studentcentered learning strategy collaborated with problem-based learning in chemistry learning. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the VC-MER learning strategy can improve students’ learning activities. This research is a class action research. The participants of this study were 124 students from the chemistry department and pharmacy department who took the analytical chemistry course. The results showed that increased student activity observed problems and gave predictions, discussed problems in small groups, clarified facts and identified problems, developed ideas and arguments based on prior knowledge, determined problem-solving action plans, became active investigators in experiments, collected data and literature studies including library databases, web sources, and observations, students presented their findings, and expressed opinions on the presentations made. The implication is that the VC-MER learning strategy can increase student activity.
