Abstract

This study aims to clearly describe the implementation of the National Science Olympiad organized by the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Pattimura University Ambon and its impact on improving the quality of education. The focus of the research is the process of organizing the national science olympiad, and its impact on improving the quality of education. This study uses qualitative research. The data collection methods are observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the National Science Olympiad involves elementary, junior high, high school, and vocational school students throughout Maluku with a total of 3,323 participants. The region, which is dubbed as a sea-based archipelago province, is not a barrier for students to compete to be the best. As a result, when students excel in a competition, the quality of education will be better. The supporting factors for the implementation of the National Science Olympiad are internal and external factors. Internal factors come from within students, while external factors come from the school environment and family environment. The inhibiting factors are the cost and location of the competition. Some of the implications of this research: Education Policy Design; Curriculum development; Teacher Training and Development; Increasing Student Participation; and Extracurricular Program Development. Research at the National Science Olympiad has made significant contributions to the following aspects: Development of Academic Knowledge; Improvement of Educational Practices; Support for Policy Makers; Motivation for students; and Strengthening Research Networks.

Abstract

The development of digital technology demands innovation in physics learning to make it more contextual and applicable. However, in it’s implementation, learning at the Senior High School (SMA) level still faces various problems, especially in physics learning. One of the main obstacles is the abstract and mathematical nature of physics material, making it difficult for students to understand if it is only delivered through lecture methods or text-based learning. This community service activity aims to introduce Arduino microcontroller technology as a practical-based physics learning medium to improve students conceptual understanding and interest in learning. The activity implementation method is designed gradually and participatively, including preparation stages, socialization and introduction to Arduino concepts, training and physics practicum based on Arduino, as well as evaluation and follow-up. The participants consisted of 20 twelfth-grade science major students from SMA Negeri 10 Ambon. Evaluation was conducted using a questionnaire instrument to assess students perceived understanding, interest, and responses to the activity. The results showed an increase in students perceived understanding of physics concepts after the activity, with 55% categorized as “very good” and 35% as “good.” In addition, students interest and enthusiasm for Arduino-based physics learning also increased, reaching 70% in the “very good” category. These findings indicate that the use of Arduino microcontrollers is effective as an interactive and contextual physics learning medium, with the potential to improve the quality of physics education in schools.
