Abstract

Static fluids are a difficult topic, and students must understand many of the concepts involved. Students often misunderstand buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, and Pascal's law. A learning method that uses the 5E learning cycle model can help overcome these misunderstandings. This method trains students to create and use models, analyze data, think mathematically, design experiments, and provide scientific explanations. Through these learning experiences, students should gain a deep understanding of the main ideas of static fluids. This study aimed to enhance students' conceptual understanding of static fluids using the 5E learning cycle model. The research design was a one-group pretest-posttest study with 29 high school students from Brawijaya Smart School in Malang as the subjects. Conceptual understanding was measured using a test comprising 10 multiple-choice questions. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test to calculate the n-gain value. The analysis revealed a significant improvement in students' conceptual understanding of static fluids after implementing the 5E learning cycle model. The research yielded an n-gain value of 0.55, which falls within the moderate category. Therefore, it can be concluded that the 5E learning cycle model improves students' conceptual understanding of static fluid material.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of simulation-based learning media in enhancing conceptual understanding of physics at the senior high school level. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) by adopting a systematic protocol for searching and selecting articles. Literature was retrieved from three main databases: Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and ScienceDirect. The analysis focused on 10 articles that met the inclusion criteria, namely: published between 2010–2024; used experimental methods with simulation media in physics education; had high school students as research subjects; and examined aspects of conceptual understanding. The review results show that simulation media is effective in presenting abstract and complex physics concepts in a visual manner that helps students understand the relationship between theory and everyday phenomena. Simulations also enable students to control variables, engage in independent exploration, and build stronger mental models. In addition, simulations have been proven to improve student performance in terms of recall, understanding, and analysis. However, there are some limitations, such as the lack of hands-on laboratory experience, the limited ability of simulations to represent real-world conditions, and minimal social interaction among students during the use of virtual media. Therefore, the use of simulation media should be integrated with other instructional approaches to optimize its effectiveness.
