Abstract

Permainan tradisional katapel yang dahulu populer di kalangan anak-anak kini dapat dijadikan media pembelajaran fisika di sekolah. Katapel mengandung berbagai konsep fisika seperti hukum Hooke, energi potensial elastis, gerak parabola, dan hukum Newton, sehingga relevan untuk pembelajaran berbasis kearifan lokal. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengintegrasikan katapel dalam pembelajaran fisika SMA guna meningkatkan pemahaman konsep fisika berbasis kearifan lokal sekaligus memastikan aspek keamanannya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan subjek 24 peserta didik SMA. Data dikumpulkan melalui angket dan wawancara di kelas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 87% peserta didik merasa antusias dan menganggap pembelajaran fisika melalui praktik katapel lebih mudah dipahami serta lebih menarik. Namun, 65% peserta didik mengungkapkan kekhawatiran terkait keselamatan apabila penggunaan katapel tidak diatur dengan baik. Kekhawatiran ini dapat diatasi dengan penggunaan peluru lunak, aturan main yang ketat, area praktik yang aman, serta pengawasan guru selama kegiatan berlangsung. Dengan penerapan aturan keamanan yang ketat, katapel terbukti menjadi media pembelajaran yang menyenangkan, kontekstual, dan aman bagi peserta didik SMA. Penerapan ethnofisika melalui permainan tradisional seperti katapel diharapkan dapat membuat konsep fisika menjadi lebih nyata dan mudah dipahami oleh peserta didik.

Abstract

Traditional games are part of local wisdom that preserves cultural values and educational potential. One such game is the slingshot, which is not only known as a hunting tool but also incorporates many concepts of physics such as elasticity, potential energy, kinetic energy, and parabolic motion. This study aims to review the literature on slingshots and their relevance in physics education. Data were collected from Scopus-indexed international publications using the keywords “slingshot OR catapult,” yielding 3,013 articles. After applying inclusion criteria and screening based on title, abstract, and keywords, 1,000 articles were selected for analysis using VOSviewer. The results of the study show five main clusters, namely the use of slingshots in aircraft launch, biomechanics, principles in animals, animal experiments, and fundamental aspects of physics. These findings confirm that catapults can be used as a contextual medium in learning to improve understanding of physics concepts and at the same time preserve local culture. By linking indigenous knowledge with scientific principles, this study contributes to enriching physics learning while encouraging the preservation of cultural heritage within modern education.

Abstract

Traditional dance is a form of local wisdom that has great potential to be utilized in the development of contextual physics learning. Silir-Silir dance is a dance typical of Lamongan, East Java, inspired by the wind, the rhythm of nature, and the dynamics of body movement, presenting movement patterns that can be analyzed using the principles of physics. This study aims to identify the physics concepts contained in the Silir-Silir dance, explore how the dance can be used as a learning resource that connects scientific theory with cultural phenomena, and assess its contribution to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in quality and inclusive education. The research uses a descriptive approach, with data obtained through literature studies, observation of performances and rehearsals, and in-depth interviews with trainers and dancers. The results of the analysis show that the variations in hand movements, changes in tempo, body position shifts, and balance patterns in the dance can be related to the concepts of force, momentum, acceleration, and center of mass. The physical interpretation of these movements shows that Silir-Silir Dance is not only aesthetically valuable but also contains movement structures that can be used as a medium to explain scientific phenomena while reflecting local wisdom, such as harmony with nature, simplicity of life, and the daily traditions of the Lamongan community. Thus, this study shows that the integration of Silir-Silir Dance in culture-based physics learning can strengthen ethnoscience learning, facilitate the understanding of scientific concepts, and foster students' appreciation of local cultural heritage in a contextual and meaningful way.
