Abstract

The study aimed to present the trends, opportunities, and challenges of using multiple representation in physics learning from Junior High School to Higher Education. Through the Content Analysis method, this study analyzed 45 journals that examined of using multiple representation in physics learning obtained using Publish or Perish with Google Scholar and Scopus databases from 2019-2023. The results showed that the number of publications of using multiple representation has increased. The most widely used research type was quantitative. High school students and materials (waves and motion) were the target research subjects and popular materials. Learning physics using multiple representations has the opportunity to facilitate students' concept understanding, problem solving ability, and representation ability. The challenges faced in its use are teachers' difficulties in organizing representations in a structured and coherent manner, as well as students' difficulties in representing physics concepts in graphics and equations. In relation to these findings, it is suggested that future researchers adopt qualitative research and increase the diversity of physics subjects and topics. Also, the abilities measured, such as students' thinking and cognitive explore multiple representation in physics learning. Future research could explore the potential of digital technology and qualitative approaches to use multiple representation to enrich the quality of physics education.

Abstract

Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) and the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) identify an increase in the prevalence of smokers among teenagers, indicating low health literacy among junior high school students. To address this, interactive learning media were developed to facilitate student health literacy. This research focused on developing comics as a learning medium for the respiratory system to facilitate health literacy. It was a developmental research method using the ADDIE model, which includes five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The developed comic was validated by three experts using an expert judgment rubric. Data were collected from 34 students in 8th grade and four science teachers through questionnaires. Expert validation data were analyzed using Aiken's V formula, while questionnaires were analyzed by calculating the percentage of agreement. Expert judgment validation received a score of 0.88, indicating high validity. The questionnaire results showed a high percentage of agreement: 96.57% from students and 95.83% from teachers. These findings suggest that comics are highly effective as learning media for the respiratory system topic and effectively support students' health literacy efforts.

Abstract

Differentiated learning is one of the learning strategies that can be applied to the Kurikulum Merdeka. This approach is expected to maximize individual progress and create a more positive learning experience. This research aims to determine the profile of students' self-regulation and its relationship to the application of a differentiated learning approach. There were 135 research subjects obtained through a purposive sampling technique with the criteria being that students received learning using a differentiated approach to atomic material models. Data collection used research instruments adapted from the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) to measure students' self-regulation, as well as formative assessment scores to determine the scores resulting from the differentiated approach to atomic material models. Based on descriptive analysis and correlation tests using Pearson's product-moment correlation analysis techniques, the results showed that there was no significant positive relationship between the application of a differentiated approach to student self-regulation (p > 0.05 and r = 0.012). However, the self-regulation variable shows a score in the quite good category of 6.67% and the good category of 93.33%. This shows that students' self-regulation profiles tend to be at a good level.
