This study aims to analyze trends, effectiveness, and research gaps in the integration of green chemistry within chemistry education, particularly in the development of project-oriented micro-modules on reaction rates. The study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method using the PRISMA approach to ensure a transparent and rigorous selection process. The results indicate that the integration of green chemistry has shown a significant upward trend over the past five years, with implementations occurring through curriculum design, active learning approaches, and the development of instructional materials. Approaches such as Project-Based Learning (PjBL), Problem-Based Learning (PBL), and contextual approaches including socio-scientific issues and ethnoscience demonstrate positive contributions to improving students’ conceptual understanding of chemistry and fostering environmental character. In conclusion, this study highlights the need to develop project-oriented micro-modules on reaction rates integrated with green chemistry as a more comprehensive and sustainable instructional innovation.
