<![CDATA[Based on observations carried out at public high schools and private high schools in Manokwari, it was found that the physics learning used had not adapted to current technological developments, so it was less relevant when used today. The purpose of this research is to develop Augmented Reality (AR) media that is valid, practical, and effective for improving students' critical thinking learning skills on the material of rotational dynamics and equilibrium of rigid bodies in high schools in Manokwari Regency. The development method used is the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) method. The research trial was carried out on students of class XI Science at SMA YPK Oikoumene and the reel research was on students of class XI Science 1 at SMA N 2 Manokwari. This research produces AR media on the topic of rotational dynamics and equilibrium of rigid bodies which can be accessed using a computer/laptop or smartphone connected to the internet, whereas the teaching media uses AR, which can be accessed anywhere and at any time, if the Physics Augmented Reality (Phy-AR) application has been installed on an Android Smartphone so that it can improve students' critical thinking learning outcomes. This research concludes that AR media has been developed to improve the critical thinking skills of high school students and is valid, practical, and effective for use in physics learning.]]>

<![CDATA[This research examines the fast forwad and shortcut to adiabaticity (STA) method in accelerating adiabatic dynamics applied to two level systems. The fast forwad and shortcut to adiabaticity (STA) method is a strategy developed to accelerate the evolution of quantum systems from the initial state to the final state in a short time. In this method, the acceleration scheme is built by modifying the Hamiltonian through the addition of additional terms to the initial Hamiltonian as regularization terms so that the time-dependent Schrodinger equation is still fulfilled. The formulation of the problem in this study is how to find the regularization term and additional Hamiltonian of the fast forwad and STA methods. The methodology used to obtain regularization terms with adiabatic magnetic field and analysis of wave function solutions and additional Hamiltonians. The results of the study are regularization terms and additional Hamiltonians to shorten the dynamics of the system adiabatically. In the fast forwad method to obtain the regularization term, one energy information of the system is required, while in the STA method all energy information of the system is required]]>

<![CDATA[The transformation of kinematics learning requires innovative approaches to enhance students' in-depth conceptual understanding. This study aims to analyze the need to develop a microcontroller-based experimental tool for linear motion kinematics to overcome students' difficulties in understanding kinematics concepts. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through interviews, questionnaires, and observations involving teachers and students from several high schools in Pekanbaru City. Data were obtained from 5 physics teachers and 30 high school students in grade XII who had previously studied linear motion kinematics. The findings indicate that students' understanding of linear motion kinematics concepts remains low, highlighting the need for a microcontroller-based experimental tool to support more interactive, accurate, and data-driven learning. This tool is expected to provide real-time visualization of kinematics parameters such as velocity, acceleration, time, and distance, facilitating students' comprehension of the relationships among these variables. This study recommends the development of a microcontroller-based experimental tool for linear motion kinematics as a strategic step to support the transformation of physics learning aligned with the demands of education in the digital era.]]>

<![CDATA[This study is motivated by the low learning outcomes of students on the topic of parabolic motion, which requires conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. Conventional teaching models are often ineffective in helping students understand complex physics concepts. Therefore, this study examines the effect of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by PhET Simulation on students' learning outcomes in parabolic motion. This research uses a quasi-experimental method with a One Group Pretest-Posttest design. The sampling technique is total sampling, with a sample consisting of 93 students from class XI Physics Specialization at SMA Negeri 1 Suwawa, academic year 2024/2025, with class XI A as the experimental class, XI C as replication 1, and XI B as replication 2. Data were collected through pretests and posttests using 10 essay questions that have been validated by experts and tested for validity and reliability. The results show that the average posttest score of the experimental class is 84.3, while the posttest scores for replication 1 and 2 are 82.9 each. T-test analysis confirms that students’ learning outcomes in the experimental class using the PBL model assisted by PhET Simulation are significantly higher than KKM of 70. The effect of this model is also evident from the course average normalized gain, which falls into the high category, namely 0.78 for the experimental class, 0.73 for replication 1, and 0.75 for replication 2. Furthermore, analysis of single student normalized gain and n-gain per cognitive aspect shows improvement in learning outcomes in the moderate to high category across all classes.]]>
