Abstract

This study addresses a pressing issue in physics education: the underutilization of laboratory assistants as facilitators of conceptual learning, particularly in experimental settings. Despite their vital role, the impact of their 21st-century competencies, known as the 4C skills, on students' experimental comprehension remains underexplored. This study investigates the influence of laboratory assistants' 4C competencies on Students' Experimental Comprehension (SEC) in Basic Physics Practicum I and II at the Physics Education Study Program, UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung. Employing a quantitative quasi-experimental approach, data were collected from 29 laboratory assistants and 401 students between 2020 and 2024. Validated instruments, including written tests, structured observation sheets, and documentation of practicum results, ensured methodological rigor. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the 4C competencies significantly predicted SEC (R² = 0.869), with creativity (β = 0.461) and critical thinking (β = 0.350) emerging as the most influential dimensions. Pearson correlation further confirmed strong positive relationships between each competency and SEC. The findings highlight the critical role of soft skills in laboratory-based science education, suggesting that structured training in 4C competencies can substantially enhance experimental learning outcomes. This research offers new insights for curriculum developers, educational policymakers, and laboratory supervisors who aim to strengthen practicum quality by empowering laboratory assistants as active pedagogical agents.

Abstract

In the digital era, students still face difficulties in understanding abstract physics concepts such as Ohm's Law and resistance, primarily due to conventional, teacher-centered instructional methods. This study aims to investigate the integration of the Higher-Order Thinking Laboratory (HOT-Lab) method with PhET virtual simulations to improve students’ higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in learning about conductor resistance. Using an experimental method, students conducted virtual practicum activities via the PhET Interactive Simulations platform, specifically utilizing the "DC Circuit Construction Kit." The learning process followed structured HOT-Lab phases: identifying problems, hypothesis formulation, experimentation, data analysis, and result communication. Results showed a strong linear correlation (R² = 0.9999) between voltage and electric current, indicating that incandescent lamps can function as resistors under certain conditions, consistent with Ohm’s Law. Regression analysis further validated this with a model  ????=0.0554????+0.0021, and students demonstrated improved conceptual understanding and analytical reasoning. The integration of HOT-Lab with virtual labs is applicable in remote or resource-limited learning environments, promoting active, reflective, and student-centered learning aligned with 21st-century skills.

Abstract

Flood is one of the natural disasters and is supported by bad human habits, of course, this disaster can cause enormous losses, which can take lives. Flood handling certainly requires proper analysis before handling is carried out. Various methods for mapping flood susceptibility can be done, one of which is using the AHP Multi-Criteria Decision method which is considered the most up-to-date and very accurate method in terms of accuracy. This study aims to map the susceptibility of flood hazard in urban areas, especially in the city of Bandung with the help of satellite imagery. The method in this study uses the AHP Multi-Criteria Decision method, where five experts are needed to carry out an assessment in determining the variable weight value, with the variable in question namely; (1) TWI; (2) Elevations; (3) Slopes; (4) Precipitation; (5) Land Cover; (6) NDVI; (7) Distance from Rivers; and (8) Distance from Roads. In addition, this study validates the results of the mapping by comparing the real events of flooding in the city of Bandung in 2002-2022 with the map of the susceptibility of flood hazard in the city of Bandung. The results obtained in this study are flood hazard susceptibility maps created well with validation of 80.20%. In addition, areas that are very at hazard of being affected by flooding are the East Bandung area (Mandalajati, Ujungberung, Cibiru, Gedebage, and Panyileukan) with a high hazard of over 75%, and an extreme hazard of above 0.1%.

Abstract

GIS is an application for conducting partial environmental analysis using data such as satellite imagery or surveys. In using GIS, of course, there are challenges in understanding the available features, which are very complex to understand. There are various difficulties in understanding the use of GIS applications, so a series of activities is needed to understand the use of GIS applications. This study aims to find out whether the STB-LAB can increase understanding of the use of GIS in undergraduate students, especially in the physics education department at the IPBA Lecture. The research method used in this study is a quasi-experimental quantitative method, with a two-group pretest-posttest design. The subjects used were 93 samples, with a purposive sampling technique. Paired sample t-test was conducted to test the hypothesis, followed by Cohen's D Effect Size test to provide details on the increase or decrease in the average gain. The results obtained in this study indicate that the STB-LAB-based laboratory activity model is able to increase understanding of the use of GIS applications for undergraduate physics education students by showing the hypothesis test obtained, namely Sig. 0.000, with an effect size of 1.022. In addition, there are additional findings, namely that female tend to prefer memorizing to understanding, compared to male who tend to prefer complex concepts to understanding.

Abstract

Covid-19 is a pandemic that can change the culture of the learning process, which Covid-19 pandemic brought transformation and new habits, and these new habits had to be adjusted based on the rules and regulations that apply in the country. Globally, Covid-19 made educators have to quickly adapt to new teaching methods, and students faced difficulties with internet access, digital literacy, and maintaining motivation in a remote environment. However, around 2021, in quartile 3 to be precise, in Indonesia changes have occurred again to adapt to new habits, namely the post-Covid-19 recovery period, where the education system has again transformed from online learning habits to offline learning. This study aims to find out how interest in studying and learning outcomes affect undergraduate students of physics education in the post-COVID-19 era. The research method is carried out quantitatively, which consists of filling out a questionnaire for interest in studying which consists of five aspects; (1) Exploration; (2) Curiosity; (3) Boredom; (4) Attention; and (5) Enjoyment. This study used two groups namely pre covid-19 and post covid-19 with a total of 67 samples used, then processing of learning outcomes data prerequisite tests such as normality and homogeneity tests were carried out then hypothesis testing using independent sample t-test and Cohen's D Effect Size to know the how big the difference between two groups, then a deep interview is conducted to know deeply. This research found results in which undergraduate physics education students in the post-COVID-19 era experienced low interest in studying and learning outcomes due to the shock culture and the influence of student organizations which they thought were more interesting than academic activities.
