Abstract

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.

Abstract

The research aims to analyze students' conceptual understanding of Newton's Law material by utilizing isomorphic tests. This quantitative descriptive research involved 30 male and 40 female respondents from class X MIPA of a private high school in Malang. Data was collected by survey method using a test consisting of 6 description questions adapted from the FCI instrument. The test, which consists of two groups of isomorphic items, has an inter-rater Cohen's kappa test reliability of 0.730 with a standard error of 0.059. Data analysis was carried out in a quantitative descriptive manner. Research found that students' understanding of concepts is very low. The highest score is given to students who understand the concept quite well. The category is based on isomorphic grouping. Students have difficulty in the implementation of Newton's Law II and Newton's Law III. Students' concept understanding is in the category of moderately understanding the concept. The difficulty experienced by students in the first indicator is that they cannot distinguish between the acceleration and speed of an object and assume that mass can affect the acceleration. In the second indicator, students explained that mass affects the interaction of forces

Abstract

Critical thinking skills are essential competencies in the 21st century; however, they remain low in Indonesia, particularly in physics learning. This study aims to examine the effect of a contextual problem-based learning model in enhancing the critical thinking skills of 10th-grade students on the topic of kinematics in linear motion. This model integrates problem-based learning with a contextual approach. The research employs a quantitative method with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest design. The sample consists of 35 students from a Madrasah Aliyah in Garut Regency, selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments include 12 essay questions to measure critical thinking skills, 10 questionnaire statements to assess students' responses, and an observation sheet to evaluate learning implementation. The analysis was conducted using both statistical and non-statistical methods. The statistical analysis involved comparing the mean pretest and posttest scores using IBM SPSS statistics, which showed a significant difference with a significance value of 0.001 < 0.05, where the posttest mean score (88) was higher than the pretest mean score (28). Meanwhile, the non-statistical analysis was performed by calculating the N-gain score and interpreting it using Hake’s criteria, which resulted in a score of 0.82, categorized as high. Students' responses to the contextual problem-based learning model were overwhelmingly positive, reaching 86% with a highly positive interpretation. Thus, the contextual problem-based learning model effectively enhances students' critical thinking skills, particularly in the topic of kinematics in linear motion.

Abstract

This research aims to develop a flipbook-based e-module on particle kinematics for high school physics learning. The research employed the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model. The analysis phase revealed that 58% of students encountered difficulties in learning physics, while 50.7% specifically struggled with force-related materials. The e-module was developed based on student needs and validated by content, design, and language experts. Validation results indicated that the e-module was suitable for use after incorporating suggested revisions. Practicality testing was conducted in two phases: a limited trial involving 18 students and a broader implementation with 35 students. The average practicality level reached 81.2% in the limited trial and 80.6% in the broader implementation, categorizing the e-module as "very practical." This study demonstrates that the flipbook-based e-module effectively addresses students' learning challenges by providing an interactive digital learning resource appropriate for the digital era.
