“Chemyzone”: An Innovative E-Magazine for Chemistry and Chemical Literacy Education on Addictive Substances to Support Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Completed with Bibliometric Analysis
Keywords:
Addictive substances, Chemical literacy, E-magazine, Learning mediaAbstract
Chemical literacy plays a vital role in enabling students to
understand chemical concepts and their relevance to
everyday life, particularly in addressing social challenges
such as substance abuse. In Indonesia, the increasing
prevalence of narcotics and psychotropic abuse among
adolescents, coupled with limited engaging learning
resources and a low national science literacy score,
underscores the urgency for innovative educational media.
This study introduces Chemyzone, a digital e-magazine
designed to enhance chemical literacy on addictive
substances. The study focused on the development phase to
produce a visually engaging and accessible learning tool. We
also added a bibliometric analysis to support this study. The
resulting e-magazine integrates knowledge, context,
competence, and attitude dimensions of chemical literacy,
offering support for classroom instruction while extending its
reach to the broader public. The findings suggest that
Chemyzone has the potential to raise awareness and
improve understanding of addictive substances through
technology-based education. This study adds new
information regarding sustainable development goals
(SDGs).
