Problem-solving and multi-representation abilities are essential competencies for 21st-century students, especially in physics. The use of teaching materials based on effective learning models and technology can enhance these abilities. This study aims to: develop an IBMR-based physics e-book (Investigation Based Multiple Representation) that is deemed feasible by experts, and evaluate its effectiveness in improving students’ problem-solving and multi-representation abilities. This study employs the ADDIE development model, which includes analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. A total of 48 students from a state Islamic senior high school (MAN) in Yogyakarta were randomly selected as research subjects. Data collection instruments included validation sheets, questionnaires, and tests for multi-representation and problem-solving abilities. Feasibility analysis was conducted descriptively, practicality and student response tests used ideal standard deviation, test instrument validation used Aiken’s V equation and item analysis using Item Response Theory (IRT), and effectiveness testing used MANOVA. The results showed that the IBMR-based physics e-book is feasible for use in physics learning, with validator assessments in the “Feasible” category and student responses in the “Very Good” category. Although it was not effective in improving multi-representation abilities, this e-book significantly enhanced problem-solving abilities, particularly in the evaluation aspect and the indicator of converting verbal representations to pictorial forms.

Misconceptions in physics education pose significant challenges to student learning and conceptual understanding. This research aims to bridge gaps in understanding by systematically identifying and analyzing the diagnostics, causes, and remediation methods for misconceptions in physics among Indonesian high school students. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA method, 61 articles were selected from databases such as Scopus and Google Scholar, focusing on publications between 2019 and 2024. The results reveal that static fluids emerged as the most frequently studied topic in misconception research, with common issues including the misunderstanding of buoyancy and hydrostatic pressure. Diagnostic tools were dominated by four-tier tests, which offer high accuracy and ease of analysis compared to other methods. The findings also highlight that the primary causes of misconceptions are rooted in students' intuitive thinking and teaching methods. Computer simulations were identified as one of the most effective remediation strategies, often employed alongside conceptual change texts and laboratory-based approaches. This study consolidates existing research and provides actionable insights for educators by highlighting effective diagnostic tools and strategies to design targeted interventions, foster deeper conceptual understanding, and improve learning outcomes in physics education.

This study aims to explore Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in relation to global warming materials, self-efficacy, and learning motivation among high school students. This study employed a quantitative descriptive method, involving 268 students (119 males and 149 females) from three high schools in West Java, Indonesia. The instruments used in this study included two-tier multiple-choice questions to measure higher-order thinking skills (HOTS), the Physics Learning Self-Efficacy (PLSE) scale to assess self-efficacy, and a Likert scale questionnaire to evaluate learning motivation. Findings revealed that students excelled in analyzing and evaluating tasks but struggled with tasks involving creation. Self-efficacy was moderate, with students showing confidence in their theoretical knowledge but less so in applying it to real-world situations. Learning motivation was generally high, particularly in terms of resilience and achievement, though persistence and engagement required improvement. However, the regression analysis indicated no significant relationship between self-efficacy and HOTS or between learning motivation and HOTS, reflecting that self-efficacy and learning motivation alone do not directly predict students' performance in HOTS. These results emphasize the need for educational strategies that promote HOTS, enhance self-efficacy, and sustain learning motivation to equip students for increasingly complex global challenges.

Learning innovation is needed to make the learning process more attractive and improve student learning outcomes. Learning outcomes can be improved by making learning more interesting and developed according to student needs. Learning materials are packaged with different problem-solving methods that make learning more interesting to improve student learning outcomes. Based on existing findings, students' mathematical thinking skills are still relatively low. This study aims to measure the effectiveness of applying Cramer's rule to improve mathematical thinking skills and learning outcomes. This study uses a quantitative descriptive method which was carried out at Jember State High School and the Physics Education Study Program, Jember University in the odd semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. The results of data analysis from mathematical thinking skills affect the success of physics learning. The results of the homogeneity test and normality test that have been carried out show that the samples used are homogeneous and normal. The N-Gain value is obtained in the high category for improving mathematical thinking skills and learning outcomes. And the student response is very positive towards the use of Cramer's rule in solving the system of linear equations on the fixed pulley material. So it can be concluded that Cramer's rule in solving linear equation systems on pulley material remains effective in improving mathematical thinking skills and learning outcomes.

This study investigates the Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) profile of high school students in physics within the Indonesian Merdeka Curriculum, which emphasizes student-centered and independent learning. A descriptive quantitative approach with the Rasch model using Winsteps software was employed to analyze data from 72 Grade 11 students at a state high school in Bandung, Indonesia. The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) assessed SRL across various subdomains. The instrument demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach Alpha of 0.90), indicating strong internal consistency in measuring SRL abilities. The analysis revealed that most students had a moderate SRL profile, with strengths in Control of Learning Beliefs and Task Values, reflecting strong beliefs in the positive outcomes of their physics learning. However, areas such as Test Anxiety, Critical Thinking, and Effort Regulation showed lower scores, indicating areas for improvement. Additionally, Metacognitive Self-Regulation and Peer Learning enhanced students' understanding of physics. Based on these findings, it is recommended that educators design project-based learning experiences to leverage students' motivation and foster intrinsic interest in learning. Reducing test anxiety through hands-on learning and strengthening metacognitive skills through independent strategies can further support student growth. Encouraging peer learning and promoting critical thinking, mainly through Help-Seeking, are also crucial for enhancing SRL. This research provides valuable insights into SRL profiles in physics learning and offers practical strategies to improve student engagement and performance within the Merdeka Curriculum framework.

This study aims to explore the role of visual media in physics learning especially in static electricity and capacitors, and to identify the obstacles faced by teachers in using these visual media. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a literature review and analysis of data obtained through a questionnaire distributed to high school physics teachers in Bandung City. The data collected includes the use of various types of visual media, the purpose of their use, students' responses to visual media, and the obstacles faced in their implementation. The findings show that visual media such as PowerPoint, digital simulation (PhET), and animated videos are very effective in physics learning to help students understand abstract concepts, especially in capacitor material. Digital simulation, with an effectiveness rate of 82.4%, proved to be the most effective in explaining the concept of capacitors. The use of this visual media also has a positive impact on student motivation in learning. However, the main obstacles faced are the limitations of time, facilities, and technical skills of teachers in developing visual media. In conclusion, although the use of visual media is very beneficial, further support in the form of training, provision of facilities, and better time management is needed to optimize the application of visual media in physics learning.

Pre-service physics teachers engagement and content material influence the strategies for implementing creative learning. Behavioural, emotional, cognitive, and reciprocal aspects are less visible during classroom learning. Content material can present several interesting topics that are more engaging if pre-service physics teachers s are directly involved through demonstrations, experiments, and learning in their surroundings. The approach aims to build interest and active engagement to complete project activities. The study seeks to determine whether project-based learning with active pre-service physics teachers engagement, content delivery, and numeracy literacy understanding can be enhanced through creative projects. The research uses a quasi-experimental design with control and experimental groups using pretest and post-test. A total of 39 pre-service physics teachers s were enrolled in this study, divided into two groups: the experimental group consisted of 21 pre-service physics teachers s who received instruction using the STEM-based creativity project method, and the control group consisted of 18 pre-service physics teachers s who received instruction using the inquiry and assignment method. Both classes were analysed based on pre-service physics teachers engagement, content material presentation, and numeracy literacy understanding. The study measured pre-service physics teachers performance before and after the intervention using tests. Pretest findings showed a p-value greater than 0.05 between the control and experimental groups, indicating no statistically significant difference between the two groups. A post-test showed a p-value of <0.001 between the groups, indicating that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group. The findings of this study suggest that pre-service physics teachers engagement, content material packaging, and numeracy literacy understanding influence creative projects. This study supports the development of STEM-based creativity project learning and active pre-service physics teachers participation.
