Abstract
The teaching of molecular polarity and miscibility is essential in chemistry education, as these concepts are foundational for understanding chemical interactions in both academic and industrial contexts. This study developed a Contextualized Learning Activity Sheet (LAS) to enhance student engagement and comprehension by connecting these abstract concepts to real-world applications. Using the ADDIE model, the LAS was designed, implemented, and evaluated through a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative assessments with expert validation. Results from pre- and post-tests demonstrated that the LAS significantly improved students understanding, with the experimental group outperforming the control group. This indicates that integrating contextualized activities fosters deeper learning and critical thinking in chemistry. These findings highlight the effectiveness of active and contextualized learning strategies in science education, providing a valuable framework for improving academic outcomes in chemistry.
