Abstract

Purpose -This study aims to address the challenges of teaching astronomy in higher education, particularly in institutions with limited observational infrastructure and urban light pollution. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of Stellarium, a digital planetarium application, in enhancing students' conceptual understanding of astronomy concepts in Physics Education.Methodology - A quasi-experimental research design was employed, utilizing a pretest-posttest control group format. The sample consisted of 30 undergraduate students enrolled in the astronomy course, who were purposively selected and divided into an experimental group and a control group. The research procedure involved the development of Stellarium-integrated instructional materials, the implementation of teaching interventions, and the administration of pretests and post-tests to assess conceptual understanding. Additional instruments included a questionnaire to capture students' perceptions and documentation of classroom activities. Data were analyzed using paired sample t-tests, independent sample tests, and descriptive statistics.Findings - The results of the initial and final trials showed a significant increase in the experimental group's understanding of astronomical concepts. In contrast, the control group showed minimal improvement. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the experimental group's test scores, with an average gain of 16.6 points (p < 0.05). Students also expressed highly positive perceptions of Stellarium in terms of visual appeal, ease of use, learning motivation, and comprehension of celestial motion. These results suggest that Stellarium is an effective pedagogical tool for enhancing conceptual understanding of astronomy and fostering student engagement.Contribution- The study contributes to the growing body of research on simulation-based learning and offers practical insights into integrating digital technologies in science education, particularly in resource-constrained institutions. It also offers a model for adapting global digital tools to local educational contexts, thereby supporting curriculum innovation in Indonesian higher education.

Abstract

Purpose—This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating the Snake and Ladder game as a gamified learning medium to enhance students' engagement and creativity in poetry writing. The study discusses the limitations of the traditional teacher-centered approach, which often fails to involve students or foster creativity, by proposing a gamified strategy specifically designed for middle school learners.   Methodology- Using a qualitative case study, this study was conducted on 28 students of the eighth grade at class VIII-A, SMP Negeri 1 Banawa Tengah, Sulawesi Tengah, Indonesia. This study involved two learning sessions where students were involved in a modified Snakes and Ladders game, which combined the tasks related to the poetry, such as composing verses and identifying poetic devices—the data collected from class observation, students’ poetry submissions, and teacher reflections. Thematic analysis measured students' engagement, creativity, and collaborative outcomes.Findings- The findings show that 70% of students actively engaged and showed creative expression in their poetry, integrating the main elements of poetry effectively. There are 25% who show creativity, even in the face of a lack of engagement in the game, while 5% actively engage in the game but find it challenging to compose poetry. This study highlights the potential of gamified learning to grow teamwork, critical thinking, and a dynamic learning atmosphere, transforming poetry writing from a passive task and a monotone to an interactive and fun experience.Contribution—This study contributes to the growing number of gamified learning in education and its impact on poetry writing. It offers valuable knowledge for educators, curriculum designers, and policy makers, showing the adaptability of gamified learning in the diverse context of education and providing a replicable model to be integrated creatively into poetry writing tasks in language learning.
