Abstract

Physics education requires the development of teaching materials capable of fostering students’ science literacy, particularly in the abstract and complex subject of thermodynamics. This study developed a STEM-based electronic student worksheet (E-LKPD) design using Liveworksheet to provide interactive and contextual learning at SMAN 2 Padang Panjang. The research method employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach, which included needs analysis, identification of student characteristics, and teacher interviews as initial data. Science literacy test results showed that the average student scores for the indicators “explaining phenomena scientifically” were 46%, “designing and evaluating investigations” were 51%, and “researching, evaluating, and using scientific information for decision-making” were 12%, all of which were classified as very low. An analysis of student characteristics revealed varying levels of interest and motivation to learn, while the available instructional materials consisted primarily of text-based worksheets and routine exercises that did not sufficiently support exploration, concept development, and active student engagement. These conditions highlight the need for instructional materials that are more adaptive, activity-rich, and contextual. The STEM-based electronic student worksheet design is viewed as a relevant and interactive teaching material capable of integrating conceptual, procedural, and reflective activities, as well as implicitly facilitating students’ comprehensive science literacy, helping them connect thermodynamics concepts to real-world phenomena, and enhancing a more meaningful learning experience.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and validate a comprehensive electronic assessment package to measure students' creative thinking abilities on the topic of Newton’s Laws. While creative thinking abilities are important to foster creativity, as one of 21st century skills, physics assessments often do not specifically measure this ability. This research addresses that gap by designing a complete and modern assessment system that uniquely integrates diagnostic, formative, and summative instruments into a single package. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method, adapting the Plomp model with a focus on the preliminary and prototyping stages. The feasibility of the product was tested through content validation by three experts, with the data analyzed using the Aiken's V index. The results show that all three instruments (diagnostic, formative, and summative), achieved a high validity category. In conclusion, the developed electronic assessment package is a valid and feasible instrument for comprehensively assessing creative thinking abilities in physics

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the validity of the development of digital teaching materials for measurement topics that integrate a joyful learning approach to facilitate students' knowledge and creative thinking skills. The applied method is Research and Development (R&D) based on the Hannafin and Peck model, which includes the analysis, design, and development stages. The validity of the teaching materials was assessed by three validators through aspects of material substance, learning design, visual communication, software utilization, integration of joyful learning, and knowledge and creative thinking skills. The results showed that the teaching materials were classified as very valid with an average score of 0.88. Specifically, the validity scores reached 0.84 for material substance, 0.93 for learning design, 0.90 for visual communication, 0.92 for software utilization, 0.89 for integration of joyful learning, and 0.82 for knowledge and creative thinking skills. These findings confirm the product's suitability to scientific standards, the Independent Curriculum, and 21st-century learning needs. The integration of digital technologies such as Canva, Liveworksheet, and Google Forms improves the quality of the teaching materials, resulting in a fun, interactive, and adaptive learning experience. Thus, this research contributes significantly to the development of innovative, valid, and effective physics learning media in strengthening students' knowledge and creative thinking skills.

Abstract

Technological and scientific progress is a characteristic of the 21st century that requires students to think creatively, communicate, critically and also collaborate. This study aims to perform a requirements analysis in developing E-Modules based on Problem Based Learning on alternative energy material and its use to Enhancing students' critical thinking abilities in high school. The conclusion of this research show five result from the needs analysis, namely: (1) The utilization of ICT in education with a score of 94 in the very good category. (2) student characteristics are good with a value of 71.80. (3) Implementation of learning objectives by teachers as observed from learning outcomes. objective flow of one physics teacher are in the sufficient category. (4) Learning arrangements implemented by teachers seen from the teaching module of one teacher are in the sufficient category. (5) analysis of students' critical thinking skills. Data were obtained from 21 grade XI students with an average of 22.77 in the less category.
