About SIR Fellow

Dr. Paed. Asih Widi Wisudawati, M.Pd, has extensive experience in addressing misconceptions in chemistry and developing science learning design in the Indonesian local context. She is the head of the Department of Chemistry Education at UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta. Her research focuses on assessing students’ conceptions, systems thinking, sustainability, and digitalization in chemistry education. According to the leadership of the chemical society, she leads the publication division within the Indonesian Chemical Society, known in Bahasa as Himpunan Kimiawan Indonesia (HKI), particularly in the chemistry education division. Internationally, she participates in the chemistry education group called DICE, or Digitalization in Chemistry Education, under the German Chemical Society. Besides her active involvement in the chemical society, she has several international collaboration roles related to journal reviewing, including for the Journal of Environmental Research and Technology at Yildiz Technical University, Journal Ecletica Quimica from Brazil, Global NEST journal from the University of Aegean Greece, and the Journal of Chemical Education from the American Chemical Society (ACS). She has been an invited speaker at numerous conferences in Indonesia and around the world, with her most recent conference being CLEAR 2025, focused on developing chemistry laboratory assessment. Based on Google Scholar, since 2018, her works have been cited by 2,427 scholars both in Indonesia and globally. Currently, she is concentrating on Design-Based Research (DBR) utilizing a systems thinking approach in the context of sustainability, exploring themes such as ocean acidification, Food Loss and Waste (FLW), and bioplastics. While focusing on sustainability, she specializes in conducting Qualitative Content Analysis (QCA) to reveal students’ (miss)conceptions arising from school textbooks, learning processes, or public statements on social media platforms. All her concerns aim to foster innovative solutions in (chemistry) education. Her motto is “Together we are more!”
