Abstract
Bamboo has many benefits- it can be used as construction material and multiple products from household products to industrial applications. Bamboo has low durability and easily attacked by fungi, termites, and pests. One way to overcome the disadvantages of bamboo is by using environmental friendly preservatives, which corresponds to green chemistry and sustainability aspects. Engineering can be done with ionic liquids which can be made as a bamboo preservatives. Ionic liquids are environmental friendly and sustainable. It can be integrated with teaching and learning on the concept of green chemistry and sustainability. This study aims to produce a concept map and teaching-learning sequences (TLS) from scientists^ conceptions related to green chemistry and sustainability on the topic of ionic liquids as a bamboo preservative. The method used in this study is qualitative content analysis (literature analysis type). The research instrument is a content analysis format. The content analysis processes includes: 1) literature collection (textbooks, monographs, review articles, and research articles), 2) descriptive analysis, 3) category selection, 4) material evaluation by didactic aspects. The results of this study are in the form of a concept map and TLS illustrate potential intended and unintended consequences of bamboo. Concept map and TLS that connects the relationship between science (components and characteristics), technology (manufacturing and application processes), and engineering (types and examples of preservatives). The results of this study can be used as a basis for designing of teaching materials and didactical sequences.
Keywords: Bamboo- ionic liquids- green chemistry- sustainability- teaching-learning sequences and content analysis
