An afford to chose the right teaching and learning strategy in the teaching of chemistry topic is very crusial as it is known that chemistry knowledge and skills are involveed. The teaching and learning paradigm have to be ajusted to support the enactment of competence curriculum suited to Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (Kerangka Kualifikasi Nasional Indonesia, KKNI). The policy has been stated in Universitas Negeri Medan to adopt KKNI curiculum, including in Analytrical Chemistry. Therefore, innovation in the teaching and learning have to be made for all subjects in the implementation of a competence-based curriculum suited to KKNI. The aim of the research is to implement an innovative learning material with project to improve students- performance in the teaching of complexometric titration topic of Analytrical Chemistry. The research steps are consisted of providing sets of mini project on complexometric titration topic, innovation of a learning package with multimedia, and implementation of innovative learning material as learning media in the class. Research results showed that a standard and innovative learning package containing of mini projects for complexometric titration topic have been developed suited to the KKNI curriculum. The project example and the video to do the projects that are provided in the learning package are found effective to guide the students to do the desire project. Integration of multimedia in the learning package has motivated the students to learn the topic and make chemistry easy to learn. An innovative learning material with project has been proved to be able to improve students performance in analytical chemistry procedures. The facility available in a learning package adequate to guide the student to learn chemistry independently and students centre learning style was achieved.
