Abstract

The research is a literature study that aims to explain students' concept understanding and difficulties in Static Fluid material. The research method uses descriptive qualitative by analyzing Sinta/international conference/Scopus accredited journals. The analysis was conducted on the concepts of hydrostatic pressure, Archimedes' law and Pascal's law. The articles used were 9 articles published between 2019-2023. The results of the analysis show that most of the studies show that the understanding of the concepts in static fluid material is rather low. There are many difficulties experienced by students on the concepts of hydrostatic pressure, Archimedes' law and Pascal's law. Various efforts to improve and overcome the difficulties include the application of guided inquiry learning models, CCBL models, formative assessment in collaborative inquiry learning, and STEM-integrated experimental learning with formative assessment. The profile of understanding and difficulties can be used by teachers as a basis for designing solutions to create more effective learning and designing research to overcome difficulties.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of simulation-based learning media in enhancing conceptual understanding of physics at the senior high school level. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) by adopting a systematic protocol for searching and selecting articles. Literature was retrieved from three main databases: Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and ScienceDirect. The analysis focused on 10 articles that met the inclusion criteria, namely: published between 2010–2024; used experimental methods with simulation media in physics education; had high school students as research subjects; and examined aspects of conceptual understanding. The review results show that simulation media is effective in presenting abstract and complex physics concepts in a visual manner that helps students understand the relationship between theory and everyday phenomena. Simulations also enable students to control variables, engage in independent exploration, and build stronger mental models. In addition, simulations have been proven to improve student performance in terms of recall, understanding, and analysis. However, there are some limitations, such as the lack of hands-on laboratory experience, the limited ability of simulations to represent real-world conditions, and minimal social interaction among students during the use of virtual media. Therefore, the use of simulation media should be integrated with other instructional approaches to optimize its effectiveness.

Abstract

This study aims to examine a test instrument to ensure its conformity with appropriate formats and procedures for measuring senior high school students’ mastery of temperature and heat concepts. The instrument consists of 14 multiple-choice questions. This study uses a quantitative descriptive method to evaluate and produce a high-quality and valid test instrument. The instrument underwent revision through consultation with expert lecturers and was then empirically tested on 95 students at SMAN 1 Pamekasan as respondents. The test items were analyzed using SPSS version 30, covering four stages of empirical analysis: validity testing, reliability testing, item difficulty analysis, and item discrimination analysis, all conducted using classical test theory parameters. Based on the results of the point biserial analysis, questions 1, 9, and 11 are below standard. Reliability shows a Cronbach's alpha of 0.708, which means it is reliable. The difficulty level test results show that out of 14 questions, 3 questions are categorized as difficult and 1 question is very easy. In the discrimination test, 5 questions are categorized as poor, 3 questions are moderate, and 7 questions are good. Overall, 11 questions were deemed acceptable and passed the empirical test, while 3 questions (numbers 1, 9, and 11) were disqualified. The weakness of this instrument testing is that the results are highly dependent on the abilities of the participants. For example, question number 9, which was adapted from PhysPort and simplified in language, still had to be disqualified because it did not meet the empirical criteria.
