Abstract

School laboratory facilities are one of the supporting facilities in the teaching and learning process. Laboratory conditions must be the suitability with the standards set by the government. The purpose of this study was to analyze the problem of the students in laboratory use in chemistry learning. The problems studied in this research were related to the problems of the students when using laboratories in chemistry learning. This research used a qualitative descriptive approach, with the sample used were students from several high schools in Aceh Barat Daya district. Data collection using questionnaires, interviews, and observation sheets. The results of this study indicate that the use of laboratories in chemistry learning activities in the schools has not been optimal. Laboratory facilities, as well as supporting facilities and infrastructure for practicum activities, are not yet fully available. The absence of competent laboratory assistants in designing the implementation of practicum in the laboratory. The solution offered in answering the above problems is by providing training to the teachers and laboratory assistants on basic laboratory techniques and laboratory management techniques as well as developing motivation of teachers and students in conducting practicum activities by providing practical training in accordance with the expected competencies.
