Abstract

Integrating technology into physics education is critical in preparing students with 21st-century skills. However, many physics teachers in Indonesia face challenges, including limited access to technological tools, insufficient training, and low confidence in using technology. This study aimed to explore the perspectives of physics teachers on a workshop designed to empower them in developing technology-based teaching materials. The workshop, held in Bandung Barat, provided hands-on training on integrating various technologies, such as Augmented Reality, Physics Mobile, Live Worksheets, and Articulate Storylines, into physics teaching. Data were collected from 51 participating teachers using a descriptive survey method through structured questionnaires. Results indicated high satisfaction across four evaluated aspects: material comprehension (mean score: 4.29), relevance and benefits (4.15), implementation and facilitation (4.17), and outcomes and impacts (4.20). Teachers perceived an increase in their confidence and readiness tp create innovative teaching materials, though some required additional time and support for mastery. This study highlights workshops' significance in bridging the gap between technology and education. It emphasizes the need for sustained training programs and collaboration among educators, policymakers, and technology developers to enhance the quality of STEM-based physics education in Indonesia.
