Abstract

Teaching Special Relativity in senior high school presents significant challenges due to its abstract and counterintuitive concepts, which often contradict students’ everyday experiences. This study employs a narrative research approach to explore the experiences of three physics teachers in teaching Special Relativity. The findings reveal that teachers struggle with explaining relativistic effects such as time dilation, length contraction, and simultaneity, as students frequently hold persistent misconceptions influenced by classical mechanics and popular media. Furthermore, curriculum constraints and the lack of appropriate instructional resources hinder effective teaching. The study identifies key pedagogical strategies, including the use of interactive simulations, thought experiments, and historical contexts, to make relativity more accessible. Teachers emphasize the need for conceptual scaffolding before introducing mathematical derivations to ensure students grasp the fundamental principles. Despite the challenges, teachers express passion and excitement when students experience conceptual breakthroughs, highlighting the transformative power of physics education. This study underscores the importance of professional development programs and curriculum adjustments to better support teachers in delivering relativity concepts effectively. Future research should explore additional instructional interventions to enhance relativity education in high schools.

Abstract

Science learning in elementary schools often faces challenges in student engagement and conventional teaching methods. The STREM model offers an interdisciplinary approach that not only improves science understanding but also integrates Islamic values. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the effectiveness of applying the STREM model in improving students' understanding and engagement in science learning at one private elementary school in the West Java province. This study used the Kemmis and McTaggart CAR model with 2-3 cycles, consisting of the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation, interviews, learning outcome tests (pre-test and post-test), and student response questionnaires, then analysed descriptively quantitatively and qualitatively. The results showed that the application of the STREM model improved student learning outcomes, with the average score increasing from 68 to 87, and a decrease in students in the "Needs Guidance" category from 45% to 10%. In addition, students' involvement in exploration increased from 55% to 92%, indicating that project-based learning and experimentation in the STREM model can increase students' interest and understanding of science. Thus, the STREM model proved effective in improving students' understanding of science, strengthening the integration between science and Islamic values, and increasing engagement in scientific exploration. However, teacher adaptation to exploratory methods and project time management are challenges that need to be refined. Therefore, additional training for teachers and flexibility in managing learning time are needed to optimize the implementation of the STREM model.

Abstract

To effectively teach the complex concept of thermodynamics, appropriate and innovative teaching methods are needed to ensure a correct and in-depth understanding. This study aims to evaluate the application of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in teaching thermodynamics to enhance students' comprehension of concepts and argumentation skills. The research utilized a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group. Of the 50 participants, two distinct groups were formed through purposive sampling. A total of 27 participants underwent PBL instruction, while the remaining 23 participants received conventional learning instructions. The results revealed that students who were taught thermodynamics using the PBL model exhibited significant improvement in both conceptual understanding and argumentation skills compared to the control group. These participants displayed high engagement in tackling thermodynamic problems. PBL taught them how to argue comprehensively, emphasizing the cultivation of 'how to think' rather than just 'what to think' in addressing thermodynamic challenges. Based on these findings, this study recommends that physics educators consider incorporating PBL as a teaching strategy to bolster students' conceptual understanding and argumentation skills in thermodynamics.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the PhET-assisted STEM learning model on the understanding of motion transformation concepts among students at Muhammadiyah Langkaplancar Junior High School. The concept of motion transformation includes translation, rotation, and acceleration, which are abstract and often difficult for students to understand. To overcome this, PhET is used as an interactive simulation medium that allows students to manipulate variables directly and observe their effects in real time. The research method uses an experimental design with pre-tests and post-tests. The research sample consisted of 20 ninth-grade students selected at random. The research instruments were concept comprehension tests, observations, and student learning experience questionnaires. The results showed an increase in the average comprehension score of 20 points in the experimental group, while the control group only increased by 4 points. Although the ANOVA test did not show a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p-value 0.95), PhET-assisted learning was proven to increase interactivity and the quality of physics learning. In conclusion, the application of the PhET-assisted STEM learning model can be an alternative innovative strategy to strengthen the understanding of complex physics concepts at the junior high school level, while encouraging student motivation and engagement in the learning process.

Abstract

This research delves into the study of partial differential equations (PDEs) and gravitational fields in spacetime. It focuses on solving PDEs using the Separation of Variables method and explores the relationship between the gravitational field tensor and the energy-momentum tensor, leading to the final equation for the gravitational field tensor. The research also investigates Einstein's theory of gravity and the energy-momentum tensor integral, providing the general solution for the gravitational potential and its implications. Additionally, the mean integration of the gravitational wave tensor is analyzed, yielding an expression for the tensor strain of gravitational waves over an infinitely long period. The components of the gravitational wave tensor and their effect on gravitational sources are examined. Furthermore, the propagation of electromagnetic fields in spacetime is studied using the Retarded Green's Function. The primary objectives of this research are to understand and explore mathematical techniques for solving PDEs and analyzing gravitational fields and their interactions in spacetime. The integration of multiple theoretical concepts related to PDEs, gravitational fields, and electromagnetic fields enhances our understanding of fundamental physics principles. This contributes to the advancement of theoretical physics and opens avenues for potential practical applications, such as gravitational wave detection and electromagnetic field propagation in complex media. In conclusion, this research provides valuable insights into fundamental physics principles and fosters a deeper understanding of their interconnections and implications

Abstract

Bone fractures are rising worldwide due to aging populations and increased trauma, creating demand for implants that overcome infection, delayed healing, and poor osteointegration. Multifunctional biomaterials, especially PLA–HA Bioxcrew systems, offer integrated mechanical support with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and osteogenic functions while remaining biocompatible. Implant-associated infections driven by Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative bacteria persist because of biofilm formation and chronic inflammation. Bioxcrew advancements address these barriers through metal-ion doping, nanoscale surface engineering, and incorporation of antimicrobial agents into biodegradable polymer matrices, enabling controlled ion release, immune modulation, stem-cell recruitment, and improved bone regeneration. Stainless steel provides strength, hydroxyapatite enhances biological integration, and PLA enables safe degradation and localized drug delivery, making their hybridization ideal for next-generation implants. Using a narrative–integrative review of peer-reviewed literature from 2018 to 2025, this study synthesizes trends in antibacterial strategies and regenerative performance. Findings show that hybrid Bioxcrew platforms significantly reduce infection risk and enhance functional bone healing.
