The colloid is one of the learning topics in basic chemistry courses that are very important to be taught to students because it is a highly contextual topic. Sub-chapters in the colloid topic include dispersion systems, types of colloids, colloid properties and the application of colloids in everyday life. As in the properties and application of colloids in various fields, it is needed to have student-centred learning. Colloid concepts also include chemical characteristics that are summarized in three levels: macroscopic, microscopic and symbolic.The macroscopic level is the easiest because it can be seen visually and more accessible, depending on the extent of sensory use. While the microscopic level requires analysis since everything that happens cannot be seen by the invisible or applied theory cannot be proven visually. Further symbolic is a description of a process. To prepare the students in the 21st century must become the driving issues the improve of all pathways and levels of education.
