Abstract

Problem-solving skills based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) are very important in learning physics, but many students still have difficulty meeting the indicators of high-level thinking. The gap between understanding the problem and the ability to design a solution strategy shows the need for a more in-depth analysis of the students' thinking process. This study aims to analyze students’ problem-solving abilities in answering physics questions based on HOTS using Polya’s four problem-solving steps: understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, and looking back. The study employed a quantitative descriptive approach involving 32 eleventh-grade students during the second semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. The research instrument consisted of five HOTS-based essay questions that had been tested for validity using the Gregory technique. The analysis results showed a validity coefficient of 1.00, indicating that the instrument is highly valid and appropriate for measurement. In addition, the instrument also meets the reliability criteria, so it is declared suitable for use in the collection of research data, and the data were analyzed according to the students’ performance in each problem-solving stage. The findings indicate that the “understanding the problem” stage was the most mastered aspect, with most students categorized as high and very high. In contrast, the “devising a plan” stage showed the lowest achievement, with the majority falling into the very low category. Overall, students’ problem-solving abilities varied considerably, particularly in planning strategies and executing solutions. These results suggest the need for instructional practices that better develop students’ strategic planning, systematic thinking, and higher-order reasoning skills.

Abstract

Physics learning in the 21st century requires interactive, technology-enhanced instructional resources that support students' understanding of abstract concepts, particularly those related to the dynamics of motion. However, many augmented reality (AR)-based learning tools remain limited to standalone applications and are not adequately integrated into structured instructional materials, which may reduce their pedagogical value and classroom usability. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and evaluate an Augmented Reality Integration (ARI)-based physics textbook designed to improve the feasibility and user-friendliness of AR-supported learning materials in physics education. The study employed a development research approach based on the design thinking model, comprising five stages: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. The ARI textbook was developed by integrating textbook content, student worksheets, and marker-based augmented reality features into a unified learning resource on motion dynamics. Data were collected through literature review, observations, interviews, expert validation, and usability testing involving teachers and students. Feasibility was assessed using Gregory’s expert agreement analysis, while usability and user experience were evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS) and the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ). The results showed that the developed textbook achieved a Gregory coefficient of 1.00 for both content and language, indicating a high level of feasibility for classroom use. The SUS results further indicated that the textbook was acceptable for learning, although differences were found between Grade X and Grade XII students in terms of ease of use and independence. In addition, the UEQ results demonstrated improvements across all users experience dimensions after iterative refinement, particularly in stimulation, attractiveness, and perspicuity. The novelty of this study lies in integrating augmented reality into a structured physics textbook, developed through a user-centered design thinking approach, rather than as a standalone application. In conclusion, the ARI-based textbook is feasible and user-friendly, and it contributes to physics education by providing an innovative, interactive, and pedagogically meaningful learning resource for visualizing abstract concepts.
