Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of design-based STEM learning on students' scientific creativity in the context of solar energy. The study involved 64 tenth-grade students from a public Madrasah Aliyah in Jakarta, who were split into two groups: an experimental group that used design-based STEM learning and a control group that used conventional learning. Both groups were given a scientific creativity posttest in the form of seven open-ended questions. The study results showed that the experimental group's average scientific creativity score was higher than the control group's. Furthermore, the subdimensions analysis revealed that the experimental group's flexibility and originality significantly affected their scientific creativity. The study shows that design-based STEM learning positively impacts students' scientific creativity in the context of solar energy, although with a low category. This research can be a reference for future research to investigate the influence of design-based STEM learning on students' scientific creativity in various contexts.

Abstract

The utilization of aquaculture, especially in freshwater fish farming potential, is still not optimal. In general, fish feeding is still done manually and depends on human resources which is done simply. So an automatic fish feed thrower based on solar cells was designed to minimize the risk of delays in feeding fish. This innovation can be integrated in learning where it is adapted to physics content. This research uses a mix of methods with data collection techniques in the form of observations related to the surrounding environment and the learning process, documentation in the form of learning tools such as syllabus, lesson plans, curriculum, documentation, questionnaires, testing feed machine tools and literature studies. This research instrument is in the form of descriptive observation sheets, observation analysis sheets testing feed machine tools. Analytical techniques in this study use descriptive, qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques. The results of this research are in the form of content integration in physics learning in the context of designing a solar cell-based automatic fish feed throwing machine consisting of 6 physics contents that are adapted to the context of solar cell-based automatic fish feed throwing machines. The results of this study show that the application of the use of an automatic machine for throwing fish feed based on solar cells can be used as a source of learning, especially in physics subjects.

Abstract

Physics learning is inseparable from curriculum updates that always coexist with educational progress. To ensure that students can understand relevant physics concepts/principles/laws and provide them with the skills they need to face problems in the future, it is very important to develop physics learning tools that are aligned with Merdeka's curriculum. The goal of this project is to provide workable Physics Blended Discovery Learning Tools (PBDLT) for the Merdeka curriculum. Research and development using the ADDIE development model—Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation—is the nature of this kind of study. In this study, PBDLT development was limited to the development stage with research subjects, i.e., 30 students of class VIII-8 of SMPN 2 Banda Aceh in physics subject and 3 science teachers. Expert validation questionnaires (material and learning design specialists) and practicality tests were used to gauge the viability of PBDLT. Following data collection, descriptive quantitative methods with percentage analysis were used to examine the data. The learning design expert validation test yielded 91.5% with a very valid category and a rate of 93.25% for the material expert validation exam. Furthermore, the student response exam yielded 93% with a very good category while the instructor response test yielded 92.7%. The Physics Blended Discovery Learning Tools (PBDLT) developed by the researchers are viable for use in large-scale trials in the learning process within the Merdeka curriculum, according to the research's findings.

Abstract

This research aims to develop an instrument for assessing understanding distance and displacement concepts. Distance and Displacement Inventory (DDI) is an instrument constructed in multi-representations, including picture, table, graphic, mathematical, and verbal representations. This instrument is in multiple-choice format with ten questions to assess students' understanding of distance traveled and displacement. DDI development refers to R&D design by Borg&Gall and test development flowchart by Beichner. DDI was applied to 357 students in Indonesia who had taken introductory physics courses. Student answers were analyzed to determine the DDI's psychometric properties and structural analysis. The analysis results show that the DDI is adequate for assessing students' understanding of travel distance and displacement concepts. Meanwhile, the structural analysis of students' knowledge results shows that students have different perceptions of each question item according to their representation. Furthermore, students who understand the concept of distance traveled and displacement in one representation may need help understanding it correctly in another representation. This research implies the necessity of designing learning designs based on multi-representations and teaching students about the changes between these representations.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of Practice Rehearsal Pairs (PRPs) with Dynamic Video Media (DVM) on improving students' skills to interpret kinematics graphs in Physics subjects among junior high school students in Malang. This research is descriptive with a quantitative approach. Data collection was conducted through tests, observations with open questionnaires to three classes totaling 77 eighth-grade students in Malang City. Semi-structured interview participant selection was carried out to obtain detailed and in-depth answers from the students' perspectives. The instrument used to explore kinematics graph interpretation abilities consisted of 10 kinematics graph questions taken from The Test of Understanding Graphs in Kinematics (TUG-K). The research results show that eighth-grade junior high school students in Malang have a low ability to interpret kinematics graphs, with an average initial exploration ability score of 54.6. The difficulties experienced by students include reading graphs through slope/gradient, area under the graph, and direct graph reading. The PRPs learning model with DVM can improve the ability to interpret kinematics graphs of junior high school students. In the three experimental classes, there was an increase in initial exploration ability scores and final ability test scores. The non-parametric test results using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test show that all three classes have a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 < 0.05, thus it can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the initial and final abilities of students in the experimental classes before and after the implementation of PRPs and the use of DVM. This indicates that the PRPs learning model with DVM can improve the ability to interpret kinematics graphs of junior high school students.

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate students' conceptual understanding in the field of physics, focusing on the concepts of heat and temperature, using the Person Diagnostic Map (PKMAPs) approach. This method allows individual assessment of students' conceptual understanding, going beyond the limitations of conventional analysis methods that focus on groups. This research used a survey involving eight students from a private university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Data was collected through a multiple-choice test of 20 items, processed using Ms. Excel and Winsteps 4.6.1. The research results show that PKMAPs are effective in identifying individual student understanding, including detecting "correct" response patterns resulting from guessing or cheating, as well as "incorrect" response patterns caused by incompetence or inaccuracy. This information allows educators to determine appropriate teaching methods, including remediation, re-teaching, or enrichment, according to each student's individual needs. This research concludes that using the Person Diagnostic Map in the context of physics education provides a more personal and effective approach to analyzing students' conceptual understanding. This method provides deeper insight into students' individual strengths and weaknesses, facilitating more focused and effective learning planning.

Abstract

The history of science in teaching has been the subject of much discussion, analysis, practices and educational evaluations in recent decades. The objective is to present an important historical process of physics in the 19th century and to discuss its use and contribution to the understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum. The first part of the work describes the main experiments that led to the confirmation of the existence of 'invisible light', that is, radiations in the infrared and ultraviolet range. The second part explores how one of the original experiments concerning infrared radiation can be used to demonstrate and discuss the existence of radiation outside the visible spectrum. The proposal of the work is that these two dimensions, the historical approach and the accomplishment of pertinent experiments, are concatenated in the didactic exploration of this important content: the meaning of the unified electromagnetic spectrum and its important applications in people's daily lives.

Abstract

This research was conducted to obtain an initial design for a laboratory practical tool based on bifocal modeling assisted by an ESP32 microcontroller for kinetic gas theory. This study was conducted to obtain an initial design for a practical laboratory tool based on bifocal modeling assisted by the ESP32 microcontroller on the kinetic theory of gases. This study was conducted descriptively through a literature review of various book articles and materials. Interviews were conducted with students and physics teachers in high schools (9 students and two teachers in Malang, 15 students and three teachers in Bandung) in Indonesia. Interviews were conducted to obtain an overview of the application of physics learning and reveal other potential problems students and teachers face. The design of the bifocal modeling tool developed has been consulted with physics and ICT learning experts. The results are that it needs to be further developed and maintained until the manufacturing stage. Bifocal modeling based on the design developed in this study has the potential to facilitate students to conduct scientific experiments related to the kinetic theory of gases. Based on the equipment to be developed, it is expected that students will be able to observe macroscopic gas phenomena through actual experiments, monitor microscopic phenomena visualized through computer models, collect data in actual experiments and computer simulations, and compare data. Students' understanding of the concept of the kinetic theory of gases has the potential to be improved by conducting practical work using bifocal modeling-based tools.
