Abstract

The Science materials on astronomy, particularly solar eclipses, are often perceived as abstract by junior high school students because the objects of study cannot be directly presented in the classroom. The limitations of two-dimensional (2D) media lead to low conceptual understanding and scientific literacy. This study aims to develop a solar eclipse diorama as an economical and interactive alternative for science learning media. The research method employed is Research and Development (R&D) using the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). The research was conducted up to the Develop stage, limited to product functionality testing without extensive field trials. The research subjects involved an analysis of the characteristics of junior high school students in the transition from concrete to formal operational stages. The results showed that the diorama developed using styrofoam, wire, and LED lights effectively visualized the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun and the formation of umbra and penumbra shadows. The diorama functions well in simulating earth rotation, the lunar revolution, and the eclipse phenomena. This study concludes that the solar eclipse diorama is suitable for use as a practical and efficient alternative learning medium, especially for schools with limited laboratory facilities, to increase students' interest and conceptual understanding.

Abstract

Physics is a branch of science developed through experiments and theoretical explanations to describe natural phenomena. In high school physics education, one of the critical topics is dynamic electricity due to its relevance to everyday life. However, misconceptions among students regarding fundamental concepts of dynamic electricity pose significant challenges. This study aims to identify and analyze the profiles of students' misconceptions in dynamic electricity and propose teaching strategies to address them. The research employs a systematic literature review method by analyzing 355 articles from various relevant national journals. The findings reveal several major misconceptions, such as misunderstandings of Ohm's law, current and voltage in series-parallel circuits, and the use of electrical measuring instruments. The primary causes of these misconceptions are a lack of fundamental understanding, limited practical experience, and less effective teaching approaches. This study concludes that preventing and addressing misconceptions requires a more interactive teaching approach, experiment-based learning, and the use of digital simulations. Teachers are encouraged to utilize these research findings to improve teaching quality and minimize misconceptions in the future. This article also provides insights into the relationship between teaching methods and the curriculum used, making it a valuable reference for developing more effective physics education strategie.
