Abstract

This study examines the perspectives and experiences of Physics education students regarding the virtual implementation of Basic Physics III practicum. Using a mixed method approach, data was collected from 30 students at Mulawarman University through purposive sampling. The analysis was conducted using Spearman's rho correlation test to measure the correlation of basic physics practicum grades I and II to III, Likert scale analysis to measure readiness and perspective, metaphor analysis and free response answers to analyze feelings and experiences.The results showed a moderate correlation between the final grades of Basic Physics practicum I and III, but there was no significant correlation between grades II and III. The Likert scale and metaphor analysis showed that students' experience was like a rollercoaster ride, where they felt happy when they understood but confused when they did not understand. This study also found that learning styles (auditory, visual, kinesthetic), did not have a significant influence on the final grade of Basic Physics III practicum. Thus, this study supports the need for improvement and provision of basic physics practicum III tools, to be able to maximize student understanding in learning.

Abstract

This study investigates first-year science pre-service teachers’ abilities and perspectives on PISA questions, addressing Indonesia's low PISA rankings and challenges in teacher preparation. A total of 153 first-year students from four programs at Mulawarman University (mathematics, biology, physics, and computer education) participated. Using a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data were collected through validated PISA test instruments, while qualitative insights were drawn from open-ended responses. The results showed no significant differences in PISA scores by gender or study program, but significant differences emerged when comparing first-year students to third-year students and professional teachers, with first-year students scoring lower. Qualitative findings revealed themes such as the cognitive challenges posed by PISA questions, their ability to foster critical thinking, unfamiliarity with the format, and their real-world relevance. Despite difficulties, many participants found the questions engaging and valuable for developing analytical skills. These findings highlight the need to incorporate PISA-style assessments in teacher education programs to enhance higher-order thinking and better prepare pre-service teachers for international standards in education.
