Abstract

Persistent misconceptions about temperature and heat often undermine students’ progress in thermodynamics.  This study therefore analysed Grade-11 learners’ conceptual understanding of these topics using a Four-Tier Multiple-Choice Diagnostic Test, an instrument that registers answer correctness, explanatory reasoning, and confidence on both selections.  A descriptive quantitative design was adopted.  Thirty students from class XI-34 of SMAN 3 Medan completed a five-item test that had been validated by experts and piloted for clarity; psychometric checks on the study sample confirmed good reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.88) and adequate item validity (four of five items met the r-table criterion).  Responses were coded into four epistemic categories—Understands Concept (UC), Lacks Knowledge (LK), Misconception (MC), and Error (E)—and analysed. Findings show that overall achievement averaged 30 %, with individual scores ranging from 0 % to 80 %.  Across the entire data set, only 27.3 % of responses were classified as UC, while 19.8 % fell into LK, 45.3 % into MC, and 8.0 % into E.  Item-level analysis revealed that the highest misconception rate (73.3 %) occurred on the question concerning the effect of temperature on objects, whereas the phase-change item yielded the strongest understanding (46.7 % UC, 20 % MC).  These results confirm that misconceptions—especially the conflation of heat with temperature—constitute the principal barrier to coherent learning in this cohort. The study underscores the diagnostic power of four-tier instruments and recommends their wider use across other physics domains, enabling teachers to design confidence-sensitive interventions that directly target high-certainty errors and reinforce fragile correct ideas.

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.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a Problem-Based Learning (PBL)-based physics e-module using Google Sites on the topic of light waves. The background of this study is based on students’ difficulties in understanding physics lessons, low student learning outcomes, and physics instruction that is dominated by conventional, teacher-centered methods. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) employing the ADDIE model. The research subjects involved 30 students from Class XI-K2 at SMA Negeri 1 Deli Tua, subject matter experts, media experts, instrument experts, and a physics teacher. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and student achievement tests. The research results indicate that the developed e-module received a “highly feasible” rating, with a 94.90% approval rate from content experts and 92.67% from media experts. A practicality test conducted through a limited trial showed a percentage of 94.20% in the “very practical” category, while a large-scale trial showed a percentage of 95.90% among students and 96% among teachers. The effectiveness of the e-module was assessed based on improvements in student learning outcomes. The average pre-test score was 61.33, while the average post-test score after using the e-module increased to 85.33. The analysis results showed an improvement in learning outcomes with an N-Gain score of 0.62, which falls into the moderate category. Thus, the developed e-module is effective in improving student learning outcomes on the topic of light waves.
