Abstract

Purpose: his study aims to develop and examine the feasibility and readability of QR Code-based Archipelago Insight lecture media for citizenship education lectures at the university level. Study Design/Methodology/Approach: This research employed a research and development approach using the 4D model, consisting of the define, design, develop, and disseminate stages. The media were developed by organising Archipelago Insight materials into three main QR Code-based menus: meaning of words, definitions, and history. The developed product was assessed through feasibility testing by six validators and practitioners, consisting of two Archipelago Insight content experts, two civic education learning media experts, and two practitioners. A readability test was also conducted with 100 students as direct users of the media. Findings: The feasibility assessment showed that the QR Code-based Archipelago Insight lecture media obtained an average score of 4.12, which was included in the feasible category. The highest feasibility score was found in the suitability of material with the media, while the lowest score was found in the clarity of material, although it remained within the feasible category. The student readability test obtained an average score of 3.63, which was included in the very feasible category. These findings indicate that the developed media are suitable, readable, and practical for use as an alternative medium in citizenship education lectures. Originality/Value: This study offers QR Code-based Archipelago Insight lecture media as a practical digital alternative for presenting broad civic education materials. It also provides an initial basis for further studies on the role of QR Code-based media in supporting Archipelago Insight learning in blended and distance lecture contexts.

Abstract

Scientific literacy is a key competency for prospective physics teachers, particularly in connecting physics concepts to everyday phenomena. This study aims to examine the level of scientific literacy among Physics Education students on mechanical energy topics using real-life contexts. A descriptive quantitative approach was applied to a group of 30 undergraduate students enrolled in a physics teacher education program. Scientific literacy was assessed through context-based tasks focused on everyday mechanical energy phenomena. The results indicate that the average scientific literacy score was 37.33, placing it in the low category. In total, more than 60% of the students demonstrated low to very low levels of scientific literacy, suggesting that most participants have not yet developed sufficient competence in applying mechanical energy concepts to real-world situations. When analyzed by gender, female students had higher average scores than male students, although their performance was more variable. These findings reveal persistent challenges that prospective physics teachers face in interpreting and applying physics knowledge meaningfully in everyday contexts. The study underscores the importance of integrating context-based and literacy-oriented instructional approaches in physics teacher education programs to better equip future teachers with the skills necessary to promote scientific literacy among secondary school students.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to analyze the perceptions of Indonesian physics education students in the implementation of modern physics practicums on students' science process skills. Design/methods/approach – The type of research used is descriptive research with a quantitative approach. The method used is a questionnaire survey to obtain data. Respondents in this research amounted to 34 respondents, with a purposive sampling technique. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques by classifying data in class intervals and frequencies, with each interval calculated to determine the distribution of data and converted into percentage form. Findings – The results of the study showed that Indonesian physics education students have a positive perception of modern physics practicums with 80% agreeing. The level of self-confidence in implementing SPS is still not stable with 41% of students feeling hesitant. For changes in knowledge and skills, 32% of students gave a negative response to the change. This shows that there is still doubt among students about the effectiveness of practicums in improving SPS. Research implications/limitations – Modern physics practicum provides a fairly good experience in improving students' understanding and confidence in SPS, but there are still challenges such as instability of confidence and doubts about its effectiveness. Therefore, evaluation of learning methods and further research are needed to explore the application of SPS in various institutions and analyze the factors that influence low student confidence. Originality/value – These findings suggest that although physics education students have positive perceptions of the lab, the instability of their confidence in science process skills indicates the need for more effective learning strategies to improve practical competence. The uncertainty in changes in students' knowledge and skills highlights the need for further evaluation of the design and implementation of the lab in order to truly strengthen science process skills optimally.

Desain/Metode/Pendekatan – Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Metode yang digunakan adalah survei kuesioner untuk memperoleh data. Responden dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 34 orang, dengan teknik purposive sampling. Data dianalisis menggunakan teknik statistik deskriptif dengan mengklasifikasikan data ke dalam interval kelas dan frekuensi, kemudian setiap interval dihitung untuk menentukan distribusi data dan dikonversi ke dalam bentuk persentase. Temuan – Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa pendidikan fisika di Indonesia memiliki persepsi positif terhadap praktikum fisika modern, dengan 80% menyatakan setuju. Tingkat kepercayaan diri dalam menerapkan keterampilan proses sains (KPS) masih belum stabil, di mana 41% mahasiswa merasa ragu. Adapun perubahan dalam pengetahuan dan keterampilan, 32% mahasiswa memberikan respons negatif terhadap perubahan tersebut. Hal ini menunjukkan masih adanya keraguan di kalangan mahasiswa mengenai efektivitas praktikum dalam meningkatkan KPS. Implikasi/batasan Penelitian – Praktikum fisika modern memberikan pengalaman yang cukup baik dalam meningkatkan pemahaman dan kepercayaan diri mahasiswa terhadap KPS, namun masih terdapat tantangan seperti ketidakstabilan kepercayaan diri dan keraguan terhadap efektivitasnya. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan evaluasi terhadap metode pembelajaran serta penelitian lebih lanjut untuk mengeksplorasi penerapan KPS di berbagai institusi dan menganalisis faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi rendahnya kepercayaan diri mahasiswa. Orisinalitas/Nilai – Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa meskipun mahasiswa pendidikan fisika memiliki persepsi positif terhadap praktikum, ketidakstabilan kepercayaan diri mereka dalam keterampilan proses sains mengindikasikan perlunya strategi pembelajaran yang lebih efektif untuk meningkatkan kompetensi praktis. Ketidakpastian dalam perubahan pengetahuan dan keterampilan mahasiswa menyoroti perlunya evaluasi lebih lanjut terhadap desain dan implementasi praktikum agar benar-benar dapat memperkuat keterampilan proses sains secara optimal.

Abstract

Computational thinking skills are essential for numerical physics learning; however, students’ mastery of these skills remains considerably below expectations. This study aims to analyze the difficulties experienced by Physics Education students in applying computational thinking to numerical physics learning. A survey research design employing a quantitative descriptive approach was used. Data were collected through a 15-item questionnaire administered via Google Forms to 31 students from the 2022 and 2023 cohorts of the Physics Education program, selected using purposive sampling. The questionnaire demonstrated good reliability, with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.82, while its content validity was established through expert judgment. Descriptive statistical analysis revealed an overall mean difficulty score of 3.68 on a five-point scale, indicating a relatively high level of difficulty. The highest level of difficulty was found in the conceptual understanding aspect (M = 3.72), particularly in integrating physics theory with computational implementation, whereas the practical application aspect showed a slightly lower mean score (M = 3.63). These findings indicate that students face substantial challenges in both understanding and applying computational thinking in numerical physics contexts. The study provides an empirical basis for improving instruction, particularly through the development of curricula and teaching strategies that more effectively support students’ computational thinking competencies in physics education
