Abstract

This research focuses on the early development of GEMAS (Game for Microscopic Atom Simulation) as an innovative digital teaching tool designed to support instruction on phase structures in physics education. In response to the post-pandemic shift towards technology-enhanced teaching, GEMAS was developed to integrate interactive, simulation-based pedagogy that enhances conceptual visualization. The study follows the 3D model (Define, Design, and Develop) and employs Multifaceted Rasch Measurement (MRFM) for evaluation. Validation was conducted by five experts, assessing curriculum alignment, scientific accuracy, language clarity, visual arrangement, and instructional effectiveness. These dimensions align with best practices in e-teaching, ensuring accessibility, engagement, and pedagogical rigor. MRFM analysis confirms the tool’s validity, with positive average scores across all indicators. The findings suggest that GEMAS is a well-designed digital resource, ready for implementation to enhance physics instruction in post-pandemic educational settings. The implications of this study extend beyond validating GEMAS as a tool; it demonstrates how immersive 3D simulations can address persistent misconceptions in physics education, particularly in post-pandemic contexts where digital engagement is critical. By bridging abstract concepts with interactive visualization, GEMAS offers a scalable model for enhancing e-teaching practices and fostering deeper conceptual understanding among students.

Abstract

The growth of catfish seeds can be influenced by many factors including high water and seed stocking density. The research objective was to analyze the effect of high air and stocking density of different fish on the growth and maintenance of Sangkuriang catfish fry. This type of quantitative research with an experimental approach. The research was an experiment using a completely randomized design (CRD) factorial. Data processing uses SPSS Version 22 with two-way ANOVA analysis if there are differences, it will be followed by Tukey HSD. The research analysis showed that there was an effect of varying stocking density treatments on the survival of fish fry and absolute growth, while the high air treatment only had an effect on the survival of Sangkuriang catfish fry. The research yielded a water height of 13 cm and a stocking density of 15 individuals/liter was the treatment with the highest survival rate for catfish seeds with a value of 74.4%, while for exclusive weight growth, the treatment was 10 cm water height and a stocking density of 15 individuals/liter of 0.94 g.

Abstract

This study examines whether multiple-choice items can be used to measure students’ critical thinking in socio-scientific environmental issues, using global warming and renewable energy as contextual domains. To address this question, the Critical Thinking Instrument for Global Warming and Renewable Energy (CT-GREEN) was developed as a set of 40 multiple-choice items grounded in domain-specific critical thinking indicators. The instrument was designed following the ADDIE model and administered to 132 tenth-grade students in Bandung, West Java. Rasch modeling using Winsteps (version 4.5.0) was employed to examine construct dimensionality, item fit, and measurement reliability. The results show that 38 of the 40 items demonstrated acceptable fit to the Rasch model, while two items exhibited misfit and require revision. The raw variance explained by measures was 27.6%, indicating moderate unidimensionality, which is reasonable given the multifaceted nature of critical thinking. The instrument demonstrated high item reliability (0.94) and adequate person reliability (0.73), with a Cronbach’s alpha (KR-20) of 0.76, suggesting acceptable internal consistency for exploratory assessment purposes. Overall, the findings indicate that CT-GREEN demonstrates acceptable psychometric properties and provides preliminary evidence that well-designed multiple-choice items, when embedded in socio-scientific environmental contexts and analyzed using Rasch measurement, can be used to assess students’ critical thinking. However, further refinement and validation across broader populations are recommended before making stronger generalizations.

Abstract

This study investigates students’ conceptions of hydrostatic pressure, aiming to identify misconceptions (MC) and differences in understanding based on gender. A quantitative method with a cross-sectional study approach was used as the design in this study to explore and measure characteristics involving 186 students with an average age of 17-18 years from three provinces in Indonesia. Data were obtained using a Four-Tier Test to explore students’ scientific understanding, MC, and ignorance of hydrostatic pressure. A gender-based differential item functioning (DIF) analysis was also conducted to evaluate any potential bias in concept understanding between male and female students. The results showed that MC about factors affecting hydrostatic pressure were prevalent among students, for example: i) believing that hydrostatic pressure is independent of depth; ii) thinking that fluid type does not affect it; and iii) assuming that gravity has no impact. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to address these fundamental MC. DIF analysis showed a significant variation in understanding between genders, where male students tended to show better results on several aspects of scientific conceptions (SCs). These results highlight the necessity for mapping students’ initial conceptions before teaching, to enable the development of targeted instructional strategies aimed at addressing MC and improving understanding of critical physics concepts such as hydrostatic pressure.
