Abstract

Science education is a great opportunity to create a generation of people with character. In classroom learning, there are several obstacles so that students do not optimally accept concepts or experience misconceptions. This situation proves that a learning process is needed that can overcome this problem. The aim achieved is to determine the effect of learning using the Interactive Demonstration model on increasing understanding of the concepts of class VII students in the material of temperature, heat, and expansion. Quasi Experiment is the method used and the design refers to Posttest-Only Control Design. The posttest results for conceptual understanding in the experimental class were superior to the results obtained in the control class. So, we can conclude that understanding the concepts of temperature, heat, and expansion in class VII at SMPN 20 Pekanbaru can be improved through the application of the Interactive Demonstration model.

Abstract

The transformation of kinematics learning requires innovative approaches to enhance students' in-depth conceptual understanding. This study aims to analyze the need to develop a microcontroller-based experimental tool for linear motion kinematics to overcome students' difficulties in understanding kinematics concepts. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through interviews, questionnaires, and observations involving teachers and students from several high schools in Pekanbaru City. Data were obtained from 5 physics teachers and 30 high school students in grade XII who had previously studied linear motion kinematics. The findings indicate that students' understanding of linear motion kinematics concepts remains low, highlighting the need for a microcontroller-based experimental tool to support more interactive, accurate, and data-driven learning. This tool is expected to provide real-time visualization of kinematics parameters such as velocity, acceleration, time, and distance, facilitating students' comprehension of the relationships among these variables. This study recommends the development of a microcontroller-based experimental tool for linear motion kinematics as a strategic step to support the transformation of physics learning aligned with the demands of education in the digital era.
