Abstract

This research aims to explore the impact of open burning and dumping on the local metal industry, analyze policies and their implementation regarding these practices, and utilize this pollution issue in learning. Using documentation techniques, interviews, literature studies, and secondary data, the study reveals significant environmental impacts, including air, soil, and water pollution, as well as health risks to the community. The findings of this research are that the problem of metal pollution in Pesarean Village can be included as a complement to environmental physics learning on several materials, namely the environment of water, land, air, pollution, and global warming. Two main impacts are identified: open burning releases harmful gases and particulate matter, leading to respiratory illnesses among workers and residents, while open dumping contaminates soil and groundwater, posing risks to human health and the environment. The government of Tegal Regency has implemented relocation and remediation policies to address these issues. However, challenges such as community resistance and resource constraints hinder policy implementation. The study suggests that the case of Pesarean's metal industry could serve as supplementary learning material for Environmental Physics courses at the university level. By integrating this real-world case into the curriculum, students can better understand environmental issues and develop critical thinking skills to propose effective solutions.

Abstract

Teachers play a crucial role in facilitating students' understanding and making science material more accessible. To achieve this, educators must possess the capability to use technology, select appropriate learning models, and possess sufficient knowledge of the material - collectively termed as Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). Therefore, this research aimed to analyze the implementation of science learning based on the teacher's TPACK ability level. The qualitative descriptive research method was employed, involving three science teachers selected through convenience sampling and identified as Teacher A, Teacher B, and Teacher C. TPACK ability data was obtained using a TPACK measurement questionnaire developed by Shmidt et al., (2009) with a total of 54 statement items with three general dimensions. They are Technological Knowledge (TK), Pedagogical Knowledge (PK), and Content Knowledge (CK). The analysis involved observing each teacher during science lessons evaluating the alignment of planning and implementation through an observation sheet. The results of the analysis show that teachers with high TPACK abilities also have more complex science learning in terms of material, method, and technology selection. The results of this research can be used as a reference for teachers in designing and applying learning, especially in terms of integrating technology into science learning.

Abstract

The integration of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Education is essential to develop students' abilities, such as creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication. Teachers should create a lesson plan that integrates STEM education to implement STEM Education into the learning process. The purpose of this research is to analyze the lesson plans from preservice teachers in science education programs and establish a standardized lesson plan that integrates STEM Education. The method used descriptive analysis that describes the characteristics of STEM Education lesson plans using a rubric, adapted from another journal. The rubric has 20 indicators to analyze the lesson plans, with four levels - no evidence of, inadequate, needs improvement, and adequate. Most of the lesson plans met the standard but still require improvement and development. For the identity section, 50% of the lesson plans needed improvement. For the learning process, more than 50% of the lesson plans required improvement, but they were adequate for scientific activities. For the assessment and resources section, there was an equal distribution of lesson plans that needed improvement and adequate level. However, up to 70% of the lesson plans were on an adequate level for using a different media in the learning process.

Abstract

Gasing is a traditional game played by the Malay people of Riau, crafted from wood shaped like an inflated fruit, with a rope made from bark. This game is played by the Malay community in Riau to spend time with friends and to celebrate special occasions in the province. The research explored the methods of making and playing gasing by the Malay people of Riau and analyzed the physics concepts involved in the game. This qualitative study employed a literature review, observation, and interviews. The literature review examines Malay culture and gasing games. Observations were conducted in Siak Regency to directly observe the gasing games, including the tools and materials used, the game rules, and player interactions. Interviews with cultural experts provided insights into the cultural significance and traditional knowledge of the Malay community about the game. The findings reveal that gasing is made using merbau wood (Intsia bijuga) and bebaru bark (Thespesia populnea). In play gasing, the rope is wound around the body of the gasing, and the player takes a stance holding the gasing. The Gasing is then thrown to the ground with a sharp jerk of the rope, causing it to spin rapidly and for a long duration. Observations identified several physics concepts in the game, including balance, mass distribution, friction force, moment of inertia, rotational motion, angular momentum, kinetic energy, and surface area. The application of physics concepts in gasing highlights its potential as a valuable resource for ethnoscience-based physics learning.
