Abstract

The study aims to analyze the relationship between ethnochemistry-based learning experiences and students' critical thinking skills based on gender. The number of samples was 50 chemistry education students (35 women and 15 men) and were determined through the cluster random sampling technique. This study adopted quantitative research with a survey method and employed a CAEQ (Chemistry Attitudes and Experiences Questionnaire) as the ethnochemistry-based learning experience research instrument. The data were analyzed by regression test at a significance level of .05. The result reports 1) chemistry education students' critical thinking skills (CTS) based on gender are higher than their ethnochemistry-based learning experiences, and 2) there is no significant relationship between ethnochemistry-based learning experiences and critical thinking skills based on gender. The survey findings were also strengthened by the interview results, which demonstrate the implementation of ethnochemistry-based learning and critical thinking skills still needs to be developed in the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages to improve students' soft skills and hard skills.
