Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the concern of prospective chemistry teacher students towards the environment using a questionnaire. green chemistry attitude. The data obtained were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) techniques to determine the contribution of each item, the level of student mastery, and the interrelationship between the dimensions of green chemistry attitudes. The research sample was 200 students who were taken by random sampling technique from the total number of students from the Department of Chemistry Education, FKIP, University of Lampung. The results showed that the 15 statement items in the instrument grouped into 4 factors, namely prevention, design for energy efficiency, safer solvent and auxiliaries, design for degradation. Each statement item and factor have a fairly good validity and reliability in terms of the standard rotated factor loadings and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Furthermore, the mean and grandmean analysis revealed that most of the prospective students for chemistry teacher at FKIP Unila had a positive attitude towards the concept of recycling in chemical processes and the use of solvents that were safe for the environment. Each factor also shows a strong correlation with each other in terms of the Pearson correlation coefficient. Finally, this instrument is highly recommended for further research in revealing teacher candidates' concern for the environment. Keywords: green chemistry attitude scale, prospective chemistry teachers, factor analysis. Abstract: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kepedulian calon guru kimia terhadap lingkungan dengan menggunakan green chemistry attitude scale. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan teknik exploratory factor analysis (EFA) untuk mengetahui kontribusi tiap butir soal, tingkat ketuntasan siswa, dan keterkaitan antar dimensi sikap green chemistry. Sampel penelitian adalah 200 mahasiswa yang diambil dengan teknik random sampling dari total mahasiswa Jurusan Pendidikan Kimia FKIP Universitas Lampung. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 15 item pernyataan dalam instrumen dikelompokkan menjadi 4 faktor yaitu pencegahan, desain untuk efisiensi energi, pelarut dan bahan tambahan yang lebih aman, desain untuk degradasi. Setiap item dan faktor memiliki validitas dan reliabilitas yang cukup baik ditinjau dari standard rotated factor loeading dan koefisien alfa Cronbach. Selanjutnya, analisis mean dan grandmean mengungkapkan bahwa sebagian besar calon guru kimia di FKIP Unila memiliki sikap positif terhadap konsep daur ulang dalam proses kimia dan penggunaan pelarut yang aman bagi lingkungan. Masing-masing faktor juga menunjukkan korelasi yang kuat satu sama lain dilihat dari koefisien korelasi Pearson. Terakhir, instrumen ini sangat direkomendasikan untuk penelitian lebih lanjut dalam mengungkap kepedulian calon guru terhadap lingkungan.
