Abstract

The purpose of this study was to improve the conceptual understanding of Grade X-10 students at SMA Negeri 7 Palu on the topic of Basic Laws of Chemistry through the combined implementation of Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) and Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT), supported by the optimization of learning resources. The research was carried out in two cycles of classroom action research. The findings revealed an improvement in students’ conceptual understanding, as reflected in higher learning achievements in the cycles compared to the pre-cycle stage. The average class mastery score prior to the intervention was 65.18%. In Cycle 1, the average score increased to 77.57%, while in Cycle 2 it remained relatively stable at 75.94%. These outcomes were influenced by the more effective distribution and sequencing of materials, the gradual utilization of learning resources, and the student-centered learning process facilitated by the application of TaRL and CRT approaches.
