Abstract : Teaching chemistry practicum courses in distance education has its challenges. The diverse educational backgrounds, ages and teaching experiences of the student-teachers involved in this study determine how they view the use of videos in chemistry practicum courses in the distance education system. 39 Chemistry Education students at the Open University, in Indonesia and 8 Chemistry Education experts were involved in this survey research. The instrument used in the study was a video-equipped with a questionnaire. The study data were analyzed descriptively. The result showed that (1) The experts agree that videos are needed to equip students before doing practical works. The respondents who provided the most dominant responses have a degree in chemistry , are less than 40 years old, and have less than ten years of teaching experience. (2) The students’ responses to the video given were rated as excellent and necessary. So, it is considered necessary to procure videos for distance learning of chemistry . However, practical activities in the laboratory are still needed.

Keywords : Chemistry Practicum, Practicum Video, Distance Education.
