This study analyzes students’ concept understanding ability on fluid material in Kupang City and Sabu Raijua Regency. Using the descriptive quantitative method, this study involved 332 high school students in grades XI and XII of science specialization in the age range of 14-18 years, with research samples in Kupang City including 91 male students and 160 female students, while samples in Sabu Raijua Regency included 33 male students and 48 female students. The instrument, in the form of 12 multiple-choice questions based on cognitive indicators of understanding (C2), was declared reliable, with Cronbach’s Alpha 0.82 in the outstanding category. The results showed that students in Kupang City had a concept understanding level of 39.54% (less understanding category), lower than students in Sabu Raijua Regency with a percentage of 45.47% (sufficient understanding category). Gender analysis revealed that female students were superior to male students in all indicators, especially in the comparing indicator. However, weaknesses were seen in the summarising and explaining indicators in both regions. Rasch modeling analysis with the help of WINSTEPS showed variations in students’ abilities between the low to sufficient categories. The findings are expected to be a reference for teachers to design contextual, problem-based, and collaborative learning and utilize learning media to improve students’ concept understanding in Physics.

The development of digital technology in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era has encouraged innovation in education, one of which is through Android-based mobile learning. However, students' mobile learning media use still needs improvement. This research aims to identify special needs in developing physics learning media based on Android applications that can effectively support the teaching and learning process. The method used was a descriptive survey with a mixed-methods approach involving class XI students and high school physics teachers who had implemented technology in learning. Data was collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, which were analyzed thematically and descriptively. The results showed that 90% of students are interested in physics, but 75% find it difficult. As many as 87.5% of students feel more interested when using learning media, and 80% need Android-based applications to increase interest in learning physics. However, only 25% of students have ever used application-based pocketbooks, indicating the low adoption of digital media in physics. This research concludes that developing interactive mobile learning applications that suit student needs and the curriculum is necessary to increase the effectiveness of physics learning. The implications of this research emphasize the need for collaboration between application developers, educators and educational stakeholders to create innovative and relevant learning media. The main recommendation is that schools and educational institutions consider integrating mobile learning applications in the physics curriculum and provide training to teachers to maximize the use of technology in learning.

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.
