Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of video analysis tracker-based practicum on the material of the motion of objects on an inclined plane and the motion of objects in free fall. The use of video tracker analysis-based practicum is useful for determining some kinematics parameters of objects that cannot only be calculated by traditional practicum methods. By using the video tracker analysis method, all object kinematics parameters can be found directly in visual form. The results show that (1) There is no relationship between mass and kinematics parameters. (2) There is an influence due to air friction on the acceleration value of the object. (3) The suitability of the concept with the tracker application produced with the error value in the experiment of object motion on an inclined plane () (4) The suitability of the concept with the tracker application produced with the error value in the experiment of object motion in free fall ()  (5) The graphical representation of the tracker is in accordance with the theory studied. This research implies that the existence of learning using practicum, especially practicum-based video tracker analysis can improve understanding and process skills in understanding science concepts. This research is written so that the programme can be further applied to science education.

Abstract

This research aims to create effective physics e-comic learning media to help students understand Newton’s concepts. The Research and Development method was used in conjunction with a 4-D development model that consists of four stages: definition, design, development, and dissemination. At the definition stage, a series of needs analysis was carried out, collecting and analyzing information. After a series of definitions had been formulated, the next step was to design. This stage involved designing the product that would be created in accordance with the previously completed definition formula. After the design stage was completed, the designing stage consisted of two steps, namely expert appraisal (expert assessment), accompanied by revisions and developmental testing (development trials) up to the deployment stage. A limited trial on 27 students of class VIII from SMP Negeri 15 Semarang resulted in an increase of 80% in student learning outcomes in final physics learning with the criteria “very feasible.” Based on limited trials, the e-comic media developed was effective and could be used as a physics learning medium to build understanding of Newtonian material physics concepts. This research could serve as a foundation for several other studies that employed diverse and innovative learning media, such as e-comics, which could have ramifications for readers’ understanding of several concepts related to their cognitive abilities.

Abstract

This research aims to optimize the critical thinking skills and information communication technology (ICT skills) of students regarding temperature fluctuations material through the implementation of a hybrid discovery learning method. The hybrid discovery learning method provides the efficacy and efficiency of the physics learning process at three Malang Junior High Schools. The type of research used was quasi-experimental with a post-test only group design. There were 143 students enrolled in this research, divided into six study groups. The experimental class consisted of 74 students, while the control class comprised 69 students. The data were collected using a multiple-choice test instrument that evaluated critical thinking skills at the cognitive level. The experimental group achieved an average score of 71.1, while the control group achieved 60.1. Furthermore, data pertaining to ICT skill was gathered through the utilization of observation sheet and questionnaires during the learning process. The Wilk’s Lambda in the Manova test gave results of Sig. (0,000) < (0,05). This demonstrates that the hybrid discovery learning model influences students' critical thinking and ICT skills. Therefore, the implementation of the hybrid discovery learning to temperature fluctuations material can optimize the learning process on the critical thinking and ICT skills.

Abstract

Mathematical representation is one of the higher-order thinking skills needed by students in analyzing physics cases as a form of proving the truth of understanding. Referring to the inconsistencies in the results of research on mathematical representation involving gender and the phenomenon of the high ability of female students in heterogeneous classes, it is suspected that there is a relationship between class type and mathematical representation. This study aims to analyze the increase in students' mathematical representation abilities in terms of gender differences in homogeneous classes. The research subjects consisted of class X high school students in Bantul, Indonesia, consisting of 26 boys and 27 girls. The research instrument was 5 physics questions that referred to indicators of mathematical representation. Data analysis to find out how the category of mathematical representation increases using the N-Gain index. The results of this study were (1) the improvement in the ability of the male students' mathematical representation in the medium category was superior to that of the female students, (2) the improvement in the ability to make mathematical expressions and use visual representations was better for the male students, and (3) the ability of the female students in terms of making image representations better than male students. This research implies that further research is needed to be related to the causes of students' misinterpretation in dealing with physics test.

Abstract

This study aims to explore pedagogical approaches and students’ engagement during STEM teaching. As many as 215 elementary school teachers in West Java were involved in this research. Those involved consisted of 161 women and 49 men. The majority of teachers have an elementary school teacher education background (87%), 7% have other educational backgrounds (Science Education/Mathematics Education/Social Education/Language Education), and the remaining 6% are in the sciences. The instrument used in this study was a closed questionnaire with 20 items from a Likert scale survey. The results of the study show that 50% of elementary school teachers very rarely use experimental approaches and problem-based learning when teaching STEM content. More than 60% of teachers also very rarely use the inquiry approach in teaching the four contents. The approach that is often used by teachers in teaching STEM is a collaborative and integrated approach. In addition, the survey results also show that more than 50% of students are very rarely involved in inquiry and engineering practice activities when learning about STEM content. The analysis of professional development needs showed that the majority of elementary school teachers have never received a professional development program regarding STEM education. In fact, the majority of teachers have a positive attitude towards the coaching program, which has an impact on increasing their competence. Apart from that, the results of this research also show that there is a lack of external support (from universities, educational practitioners, and researchers) for teachers in coaching programs. These findings provide evidence that teachers still need to receive training on pedagogical approaches that are relevant to integrated STEM education. The existence of training on STEM education is expected to improve the quality of STEM learning in the classroom. Thus, students' involvement in scientific and engineering practice when learning STEM becomes more dominant.
