Abstract:
This study aims to determine the use of scientifi c articles in biochemical learning in higher
education, especially on the energy metabolism concept. This study used a One Group PretestPosttest research design. The research subjects were 22 students of the Chemistry Education
Study Program FKIP Universitas Lambung Mangkurat. Two learning processes carried out in
this study refer to active learning, namely students learn in a focused and independent manner
(Direct Study/DS), then in groups to discuss the results of independent work (Discussion Group/
DG). The data obtained in the study were student learning outcomes in the form of pre-test
and post-test and questionnaires. The data were then analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively.
The results show a signifi cant diff erence between the pre-test and post-test after learning using
scientifi c articles as a source of biochemistry learning. The increase in pre-test and post-test
resulted in an n-gain value that was in the "medium" category. The average value of students'
perceptions and commitments in learning using scientifi c articles is in the "medium" category.
This indicates that learning biochemistry on the topic of energy metabolism using scientifi c
articles has a positive impact on student learning outcomes and interest
