Trends in Research on Representation in Chemistry Learning: A Systematic Review

Representation plays an important role in helping students understand chemistry learning. This is due to the many chemical concepts that require visualization. Representation is something that still needs to be studied. So this study aims to see the development of representation research in chemistry education. The articles used in this study are articles from 2018 to 2022. This Systematic Literature Review research used Publish or Perish software, then filtered and extracted data according to the criteria for the research objectives to create 30 relevant articles and combined using the Prisma Protocol. The results showed that research related to representation in chemistry learning is still frequently conducted in the last 5 years. This research often discusses related to cognitive ability, which is most associated with chemistry concepts and conceptual understanding. Students and teachers are commonly used samples in research. In addition, stated of matter is most widely used subject in chemistry research.
