Abstract

This study explores senior high school physics teachers’ perspectives on the role of mathematics in physics education. Through qualitative interviews with five experienced teachers, this research investigates how mathematics supports students’ understanding of physics concepts, as well as the challenges teachers face in integrating it effectively. Findings reveal that teachers view mathematics as essential for deepening comprehension, enabling students to analyze, predict, and quantify physical phenomena. However, they also acknowledge the difficulties that students, especially those with weaker math skills, encounter, which can lead to disengagement. To address this, teachers employ adaptive strategies, such as starting with conceptual explanations and using visual aids and real-world examples to make mathematics more accessible. These insights underscore the need for a balanced approach that integrates mathematics in ways that align with students’ cognitive readiness, thereby enhancing engagement and comprehension. This study contributes to understanding effective instructional practices in physics education, supporting more accessible and meaningful learning.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of the Jigsaw-based cooperative learning model on students’ critical thinking skills in the concept of light waves. The background of this study is based on the low levels of students’ active participation and the underdeveloped critical thinking skills in physics learning, which have been traditionally dominated by conventional approaches. The Jigsaw model was chosen because it can promote active student engagement in group learning, enhance scientific communication, and foster a deeper conceptual understanding. This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research sample consisted of 20 students from Grade XI-1 at one public school in Indonesia. The instrument used was a written test of critical thinking skills based on Ennis’s indicators. Data analysis using the paired sample t-test revealed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Additionally, the N-Gain calculation showed an average improvement categorized as medium (0.35). Therefore, it can be concluded that the Jigsaw-type cooperative learning model has a positive effect on enhancing students’ critical thinking skills in the topic of light waves.
