Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out that the application of the Socio-Scientific Issues (SSI) learning approach to the Solar System learning in junior high schools could affect the improvement of students’ written argumentation skills. To find out differences in junior high school students’ written argumentation abilities, the results of the treatment between learning using the Socio-Scientific Issues (SSI) approach and the conventional approach in learning the Solar System were compared. This research is a quantitative research with the type of quasi experimental research. This research was conducted in one of the junior high schools with the research sample chosen non-randomly. The instrument used is in the form of argumentative ability test questions which consist of six essay questions with argumentation indicators namely Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning. Based on the results of the analysis, it shows that the application of the Socio-Scientific Issues (SSI) learning approach to the Solar System learning in junior high schools can affect the improvement of students’ written argumentation skills. In addition, there were also differences in the ability to write arguments after being given treatment between students who applied the SSI and students who applied the conventional approach. Thus, the application of the SSI approach is quite effective in training junior high school students’ written argumentation skills.

Abstract

This article critically examines the prevalent focus on conceptual understanding in Indonesian physics education research, particularly emphasizing abstract concepts like electricity and heat transfer at different educational levels. The author challenges the common perception that certain physics concepts, such as force, are inherently abstract, asserting that all physics concepts possess an abstract nature. The recurring choice of investigating electricity-related topics, driven by their perceived abstractness, is questioned. The author observes a consistent use of similar research instruments across primary, junior high, senior high, and university levels, raising concerns about the lack of adaptation to students’ varying capabilities of abstraction. The argument is presented for aligning research topics with age-appropriate conceptual understanding, challenging the uniformity in the development of research instruments across different educational levels. In a parallel context, the article underscores the importance of visual representation as an evaluation tool in physics education. The scarcity of research in Indonesia utilizing visual representation is noted, attributed to students’ confusion and a lack of understanding. Visual representation is posited as crucial for gauging students’ comprehension of scientific concepts, with examples given in the realms of collisions and climate changes. In conclusion, the author hopes this issue becomes a reference for future physics education research, urging researchers to delve into robust studies on conceptual understanding and visual representation. The article underscores the pivotal role these elements play in shaping the trajectory of physics education research, advocating for a more nuanced and tailored approach to investigations in these areas.

Abstract

The theory of gas kinetics material studies objects that are abstract in nature. Therefore, its learning requires visual representations capable of visualizing these abstract objects, one of which is diagrams. The presence of diagrams in high school physics textbooks is considered important to aid the learning process. This research aims to determine the distribution of diagram categories, trends in diagram usage, and teachers’ perceptions of diagram usage in the Theory of Gas Kinetics material in high school physics textbooks with a descriptive quantitative research design. The research results show the distribution of diagram categories with the highest percentage in each analyzed book being the glossary image category, accounting for an overall percentage of 45%. The usage trends of each diagram category tend to fluctuate from year to year. Based on the findings of this research, teachers’ perceptions of diagram usage in the Theory of Gas Kinetics material have three main themes: diagrams are important as learning aids to make lessons more interesting and to represent the identity of science, especially physics; the use of diagrams depends on teachers’ needs; and diagrams help students understand the text and present physics concepts more specifically.

Abstract

Physics education has traditionally focused on conceptual understanding and real-world applications. However, integrating climate change issues into physics teaching is crucial for fostering environmental awareness. Climate change significantly impacts global sustainability, yet it remains inadequately addressed in formal education due to the absence of dedicated courses and interdisciplinary challenges. Many fundamental physics concepts, such as thermodynamics and measurement, are directly applicable to understanding climate change. By embedding climate-related discussions into physics instruction, educators can enhance students' scientific literacy and moral responsibility toward environmental issues. Meanwhile, the rapid development of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) presents new opportunities for education, including physics instruction. GenAI can serve as a personalized learning assistant, helping students engage with complex topics such as climate change while improving their critical thinking skills. Thus, leveraging GenAI to address climate change within physics education offers a promising pathway to enhance students’ learning experiences and environmental consciousness.
