Abstract

Purpose of the study: This research aims to describe student motivation in learning physics about renewable energy materials. Methodology: This type of research uses descriptive research with the data used being quantitative. Data collection used a physics learning motivation questionnaire instrument for students. The sampling technique in this study used purposive sampling with a total sample in this study of 60 high school students. Data analysis used descriptive statistics assisted by SPSS. Main Findings: Based on the results of student motivation questionnaire data obtained from Jambi City 2 High School and Triam Udom Suksa School, there were 60 respondents, namely an average score of 73.80. Next, the middle value (median) is 73. Then the minimum value is 56. And the maximum value is 94. The implication of this research is that by using a comprehensive and nuanced approach, this research aims to explain the factors that influence student motivation in certain academic domains. This investigation examines various elements such as curriculum design, teaching methodology, and the relevance of renewable energy materials in the learning process. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this research is that the descriptive study pioneers exploration into the previously uncharted area of student learning motivation in physics, specifically focusing on the renewable energy materials domain. This research can be a means to improve physics teaching in the classroom

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of virtual laboratories on Grade 11 learners’ academic performance in learning acid-base reactions. A titration model was developed using the Scratch programming platform to simulate neutralisation reactions and facilitate related calculations. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study collected qualitative data through interviews and non-participant observations, while quantitative data were obtained via a Likert scale questionnaire and pre- and post-tests. The Solomon four-group design was adopted as part of a convergence triangulation model. A total of 408 learners from four secondary schools participated in the study. Qualitative data were analysed using thematic analysis and the Mann–Whitney U test, while quantitative data were analysed using the Friedman test. Thematic findings revealed that learners found the Scratch-based learning experience engaging and interactive, particularly due to its multisensory approach that incorporated both visual and auditory modalities. Post-test results indicated that learners in the Scratch-based group outperformed their peers who were taught using PowerPoint presentations. The findings suggest that virtual laboratories designed through Scratch can significantly enhance conceptual understanding and academic performance in acid-base chemistry.
