Abstract

This study aims to explore the problem-solving abilities of prospective physics teachers based on multiple intelligences in the context of fluid mechanics. The research employed a survey approach by combining a problem-solving test and a multiple intelligences questionnaire to identify students’ dominant intelligence profiles. The participants were categorized into three dominant intelligence types: verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, and spatial. The results indicate notable differences in problem-solving characteristics among the groups. Students with verbal-linguistic intelligence tended to demonstrate higher proficiency in understanding and articulating concepts through coherent and argumentative explanations, resulting in more comprehensive verbal solutions. Students with logical-mathematical intelligence solved problems by identifying patterns and physical quantities using systematic mathematical procedures, although their solutions often lacked detailed conceptual explanations. Meanwhile, students with spatial intelligence primarily used visualization, including sketches, diagrams, or other representations, to interpret situations and derive solutions. These findings suggest that multiple intelligences influence students’ cognitive strategies for solving physics problems. The study highlights the need for instructional designs that are responsive to students’ diverse intelligence profiles to optimize the development of problem- solving skills.

Abstract

This study analyzes the creative thinking abilities of Grade 11 students at SMAN 14 Gowa on the topic of dynamic fluids. The researchers employed a quantitative descriptive design using a survey method. The study involved 82 students selected through purposive sampling. The researchers collected data using five validated open-ended questions, each representing an indicator of creative thinking ability: fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The results indicated that, overall, students’ creative thinking ability was categorized as fairly creative, with an average interval score of 14.7. Among the indicators, fluency showed the highest achievement (62.20%), classified as high, followed by flexibility (59%), elaboration (56%), and originality (52%), all of which fell into the moderate category. These findings suggest that students demonstrate strength in generating multiple ideas; however, further instructional support is needed to enhance their ability to produce original ideas and to develop and explain ideas systematically.

Abstract

Analyzing the critical thinking ability of high school students in physics learning. The purpose of this survey study is to assess the critical thinking abilities of high school students studying physics in Jeneponto Regency during the 2024/2025 school year. The research sample consists of XII MIPA class students from three schools: SMAN 2 Jeneponto (32 students), SMAN 5 Jeneponto (28 students), and SMAN 11 Jeneponto (24 students). The analytical method employed was descriptive statistical analysis. The method of data collection utilized was a multiple-choice test on critical thinking ability. The instrument used is valid, and the reliability coefficient is 0,817. The indicators examined for critical thinking skills include providing simple explanations, developing basic skills, making inferences, and offering further explanations. According to the study's findings, the average score for students' critical thinking abilities in high school physics within the Jeneponto district is 6.48, with a percentage of 32%. 44%, falling into the low category, while the very high category comprises 30.95% with 26 students, the high category encompasses 40.47% with 34 students, the medium category includes 23.80% with 20 students, the low category represents 3.57% with three students, and the very low category denotes 1.19% with one student. The implications of this study are to enhance learning activities, for example, by utilizing innovative and interactive learning methods and evaluating students’ critical thinking skills.

Abstract

Physics material is often considered a difficult subject because it is abstract, while the limitations of laboratory facilities are also an obstacle in the learning process. In addition, conventional learning media that are still predominantly used make students less motivated and less likely to explore concepts independently. This research aims to determine the improvement in students' conceptual understanding of physics after the implementation of PhET simulation media on the topic of sound waves. The research employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design, specifically a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research subjects were 30 students from class XI-2 of SMAN 20 Gowa. The instrument used was an essay test administered before and after the treatment to measure the level of students’ conceptual understanding. The data were analyzed descriptively to observe the changes in pretest and posttest scores, and the N-Gain formula was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the learning process. The results showed an increase in the average score from 6.9 (pretest) to 20.17 (posttest). The average N Gain score was 0.74, which falls into the high category. These findings indicate that the use of PhET simulation media contributes positively to improving students’ conceptual understanding in physics. Therefore, it can be considered an effective and interactive learning alternative, particularly for abstract topics such as sound waves. The implications of this research confirm that the use of PhET simulation media is not only effective in improving students' understanding of physics concepts but can also be integrated more widely as an alternative learning strategy to overcome the limitations of practicum facilities in schools.

Abstract

This study addresses the "pedagogical digital gap" by proposing a shift from using technology for content delivery ("scanning") to cognitive support ("scaffolding"). It investigates the effectiveness of a QR-Code Integrated Inquiry model on pre-service primary teachers' critical thinking skills. Employing a quasi-experimental design with 60 participants, data were analyzed using ANCOVA. Findings revealed a highly significant difference () between groups. The experimental group achieved a notably higher adjusted mean (57.43) compared to the control group (34.88), with a massive effect size (). The intervention successfully reduced extraneous cognitive load, facilitating deep reasoning consistently across genders and science topics. The study concludes that re-engineering simple technology as scaffolding creates a robust, inclusive learning ecosystem for teacher education
