Abstract

This study aimed to develop and validate a Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) assessment instrument that leverages Wordwall activities embedded in Google Sites for teaching Newton’s Laws. A quantitative-descriptive design with an evaluative approach was employed. Nineteen Grade XI science students from Gajah Mada Private Senior High School were selected through purposive sampling. Item analysis examined validity, reliability, difficulty level, and discrimination power. Of the ten multiple-choice items constructed, five (50 %) met validity criteria, and the instrument achieved a reliability coefficient of 0.492, indicating adequate internal consistency. Difficulty indices classified three items as difficult and seven as moderate, while discrimination indices categorized two items as very good, three as good, one as fair, and four as poor. Students’ mean achievement score of 37.89 % suggests limited familiarity with HOTS-oriented questions. Pedagogically, embedding Wordwall in Google Sites enhanced learner engagement, reduced test anxiety, increased comfort, and simplified teachers’ post-test analysis through automated scoring. Consequently, the HOTS-based instrument is not only statistically sound but also practically effective for supporting digital physics instruction.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the physics concepts embedded in the traditional Indonesian games Tarik Tambang (Tug of War) and Balap Karung (Sack Race) through the application of Newton’s Laws. Conducted within the framework of ethnophysics, the research seeks to bridge scientific principles with local wisdom to foster contextual and engaging physics learning for students. A qualitative approach utilizing literature review was employed, analyzing various scholarly sources related to traditional games and their underlying physical principles. The findings reveal that Tarik Tambang illustrates Newton’s Second Law of Motion and the role of static friction. The game demonstrates how the acceleration of the opposing team is determined by the net pulling force and total system mass, while static friction is essential for maintaining player balance and traction. Additionally, strategies such as placing heavier players at the back enhance force generation and overall team performance. In Balap Karung, Newton’s Third Law and momentum significantly influence participants’ movements. The forward propulsion results from the backward action force exerted by the feet, which is met with an equal and opposite ground reaction force. Momentum affects the stability and speed of the jump, and friction between the sack and ground determines the efficiency of motion. This research highlights the pedagogical potential of traditional games in physics education. By contextualizing Newtonian mechanics through culturally familiar activities, students can develop a more concrete understanding of physical laws. The study recommends incorporating such games into instructional strategies to promote meaningful and culturally responsive science learning.
