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.

Argumentation abilities are critical for students to develop in physics learning, yet most studies focus on students outside pesantren. This research investigates the argumentation abilities of pesantren students on the topics of temperature and heat. The study employs a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The instrument used is a test comprising six essay questions assessing argumentation abilities. The data in this study were examined using a paired sample t-test, effect size calculation, and N-gain analysis to assess changes in students' argumentation abilities. The findings demonstrated a significant enhancement in students' argumentation abilities following the implementation of the ALIVP learning model. The effect size analysis indicated a very large impact, while the N-gain results classified the improvement as high. A detailed examination of argumentation indicators revealed that the highest increase occurred in claim accuracy, followed by the completeness and credibility of data, strength of backing, and strength of evidence. These findings suggest that the ALIVP model successfully enhances the argumentation abilities of pesantren students in physics learning, bridging a gap in current research. This study underscores the potential of integrating argumentation-focused learning models in pesantren to foster critical thinking in scientific contexts.

Students often struggle to identify and position themselves in physics class which is known as the conceptualization of physics identity. One of the contributing factors is the limited learning environment that fosters engagement and a sense of belonging in physics. This study aims to develop, validate, and test the practicality of physics learning tools in a non-formal context, specifically through a physics club. The research employs the Research and Development (R&D) design with the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate). The instruments were validity and practicality questionnaires. The content validity was assessed by two experts: one physics lecturer and one physics teacher. In addition, the practicality testing involved one physics teacher and 36 students from Laboratory Senior High School UM (Universitas Negeri Malang). Data were analyzed through descriptive statistic by presenting the percentage of the validity and the aspect of practicality. The developed products include a physics club program book, a physics club activity module, and a physics club material book. The validity results showed that the program content achieved 94% (highly valid), the media and material validity of the physics club activity module scored 81% and 89% respectively (highly valid), and the media and material validity of the physics club material book scored 89% and 91% (highly valid). Practicality tests by teachers and students yielded scores of 97% (highly practical) and 77% (practical), respectively. Based on these results, the physics club learning tools are declared valid and practical for use in order to strengthen students’ physics identity.

This study explores the implementation of field studies using non-stationary calorimetric methods to understand the learning experience of science education students on the concept of nuclear physics. The study involved 72 science education S1 students who participated in an experiment to determine thermal power at the Kartini Reactor facility through a descriptive qualitative approach. The field study used reactor operation at a constant power of 100 kW by shutting down the cooling system to demonstrate the principle of heat accumulation. Students collected temperature data from three digital thermometers every 5 minutes for 35 minutes, then performed a linear regression analysis to calculate thermal power. Thematic analysis from student observations, interviews, and reflections reveals the development of conceptual understanding in four key areas. The students managed to calculate thermal power of 107.99 kW, 106.40 kW, and 109.08 kW with deviations in acceptable tolerances. The findings show that hands-on experience facilitates an understanding of energy conservation principles, heat transfer mechanisms, and experimental validation techniques. This study reveals students' ability to develop connections between theoretical concepts of nuclear physics and practical applications through authentic learning experiences.

This study developed and evaluated a computer simulation–based Internet of Things (IoT) lecture module for the Artificial Intelligence for Science Education course to address the gap between abstract IoT concepts and classroom practice in science teacher education. Adopting an R&D approach with the ADDIE model, the module was structured into five subtopics aligned with explicit learning outcomes and supported by simulations, examples, and authentic projects. Expert validation (five validators: content, media, instructional, and evaluation) examined content, language, and presentation using Aiken’s V and Percentage of Agreement. Practicality was assessed via expert questionnaires (ease of use, attractiveness, usefulness, contextual relevance). Implementation involved a trial with 40 prospective science teachers, including a 5-point Likert readability survey. Content validity increased from 0.860 (valid) to 0.960 (very valid), and inter-rater reliability rose from 0.712 (fair) to 0.757 (good) after systematic revisions. Language validity improved from 0.833 to 0.950 (very valid); presentation remained strong at 0.893 (very valid) with qualitative enhancements to visual design. Expected practicality averaged 92% across dimensions (ease of use 91%; attractiveness 92%; usefulness 92%; contextual relevance 92%). Readability scores were consistently “highly readable” across seven dimensions (4.44–4.56), indicating clear language and style, logical sequencing, effective multimodal supports, manageable cognitive load, strong contextual relevance, and robust technical accessibility. The module is ready for classroom adoption, offering a scalable template for integrating IoT through simulations and authentic cases in preservice teacher education.
