Abstract

The goal of this study was to examine critical thinking skills on the topic of climate change. This study is quantitative in nature. The information was gathered by creating a 30-question test to assess the ability to think critically about climate change. Respondents were 52 physics education students from one of Tasikmalaya's campuses. Winstep software version 4.00 was utilized for data analysis. Rasch modeling was employed in this investigation. The results of the Rasch modeling study show a value of 0.38 for person reliability and 0.91 for item reliability, indicating that the instrument items manufactured are dependable. The raw variance value of 23.4% suggests that the standards for dichotomous data construct validity are met. The separation value of 3.15 supports this. It suggests that this item has a good answer distribution and can assess critical thinking skills on the topic of climate change. As a result, it can be used for study.

Abstract

The paper reports the experiment in the laboratory in making FTO by employing spray pyrolysis methods, its application in DSSC, and its implementation in physics learning. The methodology in this research was mixed methods (experiment and qualitative methods). The experimental section was conducted by dissolving SnCl2.2H2O and NH4F in 96% alcohol and then depositioned on a glass substrate on a hotplate with a temperature of 450◦C using an Omron NE-C28 nebulizer. Spraying was carried out for 20 minutes then characterized morphology (SEM), content (EDS), crystal structure (XRD), transmittance (UV-VIS), and voltage-current (IV). Based on investigations using Scanning Electron Microscopy and Electron Dispersive Spectroscopy, it is known that transparent conductive SnO2:F particles have been formed. By using XRD, Nanometer-sized crystalline particles have also been identified. Furthermore, the FTO electrode is utilized as an electrode on DSSC and its performance is measured. In the qualitative section, students and researchers were interviewed about the physical aspect of the FTO fabrication process. Then, interview results were used to design laboratory physics learning.

Abstract

This study advances a STEM teaching proposal and aims to determine spring constant of a spring pendulum by means of an Arduino microprocessor. The measurements are managed by simply letting the spring pendulum to oscillate freely and recording the distance perceived by the distance sensor-Arduino system as a function of time. The mean periods are estimated by using displacement-time plots of the harmonic motion and the results are used to estimate the spring constant. The spring constant is also determined conventionally by employing Hooke's law a number of times. The relative error rate between the two results is found to be about % 6.00 which is pretty acceptable. This approach is important in the sense that it is inexpensive and also encourages students to learn how to use the Arduino microprocessor. The approach adds to physics education efforts due to creating an enjoyable and beneficial teaching-learning environment.

Abstract

Education in Indonesia has undergone a transformation that was initially conventional but now necessitates the integration of technology. Materials for teaching that can aid students in learning are required. The purpose of this study is to explain how well the e-worksheet for learning dynamic fluid physics works. This research uses a modified ADDIE model for research and development. The viability of the e-worksheet is estimated using a learning accomplishment test. The subjects of this review were thirty understudies in class XI at SMA Negeri 5 Bandar Lampung. The side effect of the test shows that the feasibility of e-worksheets in the control class is low given the low rules of learning based on revelation learning. The effectiveness of e-worksheets in the experimental class is very high.

Abstract

This research is a preliminary study aimed at analyzing the methods of teaching basic physics applied in the pharmacy program, as well as its implications for the relevance of physics concepts in pharmacy courses and the development of students' system thinking skills. A cross-sectional survey method was used, employing a structured questionnaire based on the Likert scale, involving physics course instructors from private and public universities. The research findings indicate that, although basic physics has significant potential in contributing to the development of the system thinking skills required by pharmacy graduates, challenges in integrating physics concepts with pharmacy courses still exist. The pharmacy curriculum's focus on pharmaceutical and health aspects may overlook students' understanding of basic physics. Therefore, the importance of developing teaching methods and physics laboratory practices that are appropriate for the pharmacy context becomes clearer. This research concluded that there is a need for the development of more suitable learning methods for basic physics courses in the pharmacy program, with an emphasis on developing system thinking skills crucial in the field of health, and the integration of pharmacy laboratories as a learning support. This is expected to enhance the understanding of physics concepts in the pharmacy context and build relevant system thinking skills for graduates of the pharmacy program.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the construction of teacher identity through life experiences. Data were collected from observation, interviews, and document analysis. The subject of this study was TN (a pseudonym), who is a science teacher with an excellent academic background. The results of this research indicate that, from the perspective of discourse identity, TN is a teacher who emphasizes contextual learning and student-centered learning. Based on the perspective of nature identity, kinesthetic learning and her fondness for mathematics have had a major influence on her interest in physics. Meanwhile, from the perspective of affinity identity, family and role models greatly influence TN's beliefs about learning and her decision to have a career as a teacher. From the perspective of institutional identity, formal institutions have a negative impact on the construction of TN’s identities, while informal institutions such as organizations have a positive influence on TN's physics interests and rhetorical skills.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to propose the use of analogies for teaching principles of synchrotron radiation for high-school students. Analogy is an important tool for teaching new abstract subjects based on familiar content. In this paper, we suggest the use of Teaching With Analogies Strategy (TWAS), which is an approach to overcome the didactic obstacles in introducing abstract physics content to students. The authors expect that this work may  contribute to the students' understanding of synchrotron radiation, reflecting  the needs and interests of secondary school teachers.

Abstract

Identity is the construction of interpretations of life experiences in certain contexts, resulting in self-understanding. This research, with a single case study design, aims to explore the identity of science teachers in various contexts of Figured Worlds. The research participant is a science teacher named Yuni (pseudonym), who has a background in Physics Education. Data were collected through two semi-structured interviews. The results revealed how Yuni interpreted science-related life experiences in Figured Worlds to construct her identity. The researchers concluded that although, throughout Yuni's experience, she was not interested in becoming a teacher, she was able to become an outstanding teacher through her scientific papers.

Abstract

The objective is to solve the college physics problem of a block sliding down a movable smooth wedge without friction anywhere using a spatial-numeric perspective.  The drawing method used the sum of the normal force and weight of the block to find the wedge acceleration.  The drawing method results are equivalent to the algebra method results within drawing accuracy.  The result of a geometric construction with regular drawing uncertainly was shown for the case without any horizontal applied force.  For the case of a given horizontal applied force, an additional numeric graphing method was shown with additional drawing uncertainty in the result.  The geometric construction without graphing resuted in solving the horizontal applied force case via scaling in the concept of modified gravity experienced by the block on the wedge’s slant edge, assuming a pre-requisite knowledge of algebra and trigonometry.  The presented spatial numeric method and results imply a Physics First pedagogy of using the spatial numeric abilities,  with the inclusion of the pre-projectile problem, pre-traffic-light problem, and post-collision problem in a one-semester syllabus.
