Abstract

The low problem-solving skills and self-efficacy of students in physics learning significantly impact their overall learning processes and outcomes. In order to address this issue, an inquiry learning model was implemented, along with the low-cost experiment tool. This learning model is designed to be valid and effective in enhancing students' problem-solving skills and self-efficacy. The research followed a non-equivalent control group design and involved 66 students to ensure the development of a high-quality learning model that meets the required standards and criteria. By utilising learning instruments, such as students' response questionnaires, problem-solving pre- and post-tests, and self-efficacy questionnaires, the focus of the physics topic in this research was the simple mathematic pendulum. The validity test results show that the learning instrument has high validity and reliability criteria, making it feasible to use in physics learning. Furthermore, the statistical effectiveness test results show that this learning model is effective in improving students' problem-solving skills and self-efficacy. As students engage in hands-on investigations and collaborate on meaningful projects, they are prompted to apply critical thinking and decision-making skills, directly contributing to the development of effective problem-solving strategies. The intrinsic motivation derived from successfully navigating the challenges of inquiry learning, coupled with the personal relevance of the content, nurtures students' confidence in their abilities, ultimately strengthening their self-efficacy as independent and capable learners. Research implies the development of innovative learning models, effectively enhancing students' PSS and SE.

Abstract

Emotions are very important in thinking, making decisions, and a person's personality. This research was conducted to know the activity of alpha waves using an electroencephalographic (EEG) instrument, using an experimental method given the treatment of thinking hard and dhikr of istighfar. The brain waves analyzed in this study are alpha waves with a frequency between 8-12 Hz. The analysis shows that the alpha wave mean result is 11.89 Hz when thinking hard, and the mean result is 10.89 Hz during dhikr. The statistical test results show a significance of p = 0.000323 (p < 0.05), showing that dhikr can volunteer from a state of hard thinking to a relaxed state. The istighfar dhikr (astaghfirullah hal adzim) by the volunteer is a response to ask for forgiveness and reassure the heart.

Abstract

Microscopes are essential as media or teaching aids for prospective educators to achieve learning goals. However, there are still obstacles in their application in the form of quite expensive costs. Often, educational aids have a sizeable nominal value for a school. Teaching aids are costly and prone to damage or loss if students use them frequently, and it is difficult and expensive to find replacements if they are damaged, so teachers are afraid to use them. To overcome this problem, this study provides another alternative design, namely the design of teaching aids that are still useful and function well for learning through the design of microscope teaching aids. The research method used is a model research design using Solidworks software. The development of learning tools compiled in this study refers to the type of 4-D development (Four-D model), which consists of 4 stages: the define stage, the design stage, the development stage, and the dissemination. The research carried out three stages, namely the definition stage (Define), the design stage (Design), and the development stage (Develop). In the results of the design draft, questions were asked of the informants; it was concluded that a proper microscope was a microscope that worked according to its specifications, namely being able to see tiny or micro-objects. The clarity of the lens and the maximum magnification are also factors in the feasibility of the microscope. This research can be concluded as a simple microscope design using the Solidworks application, which is suitable for use as an alternative learning media. If the design of this tool is to be made, then the selection of materials and mechanisms needs further research and trials.

Abstract

Science learning skills need to be applied at every stage of learning. However, students do not have good science process skills (SPS). Learning media is also needed to support modern and engaging science learning skills. Research using the ADDIE model, a sample of 30 students in class XI MIPA at SMAN 1 Wanayasa. The average validity test results are 82.40%. The results of implementing Authentic assessment based on Teaching and Learning Trajectory with Student Activity Sheets increased from each meeting; the average value was 85.58% with good effectiveness. The results of the N-Gain pretest and posttest based on the science process skills indicator obtained an average N-Gain result of 0.57 with a moderate interpretation. The researcher used a nonparametric hypothesis test with the Wilcoxon sign rank type. The results of the hypothesis test obtained acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha), meaning that there was an increase experienced by students in SPS  in mechanical wave material. Based on several aspects, student responses obtained an average of 70.07% in the good and positive category.

Abstract

Critical thinking skills (CTS) are important for training in physics. This research aims to train students' CTS through augmented reality worksheets with the inquiry-scaffolding model. The research participants comprised 36 third-semester physics education students at UIN Walisongo Semarang. This research utilized a pre-experimental method employing a one-group pre-test post-test design. The enhanced CTS was assessed using the N-gain test. The analysis of students' CTS yielded four categories: very less critical, less critical, critical, and very critical. Implementing learning through augmented reality worksheets employing an inquiry-scaffolding model enhanced students' CTS by 0.30 with moderate criteria. The breakdown of students' CTS following the augmented reality worksheets with inquiry-scaffolding models showed a distribution of 19.44% less critical, 69.44% critical, and 11.11% very critical. From the research findings, it can be concluded that augmented reality worksheets using the inquiry-scaffolding model effectively train students' CTS in learning physics. Through learning with augmented reality worksheets, students are trained to analyze arguments, consider the validity of various sources, make inferences and general conclusions, and make decisions. Scaffolding procedure: explaining, modeling, and questioning can provide an overview of cause and effect, and abstraction of a concept as a provision to strengthen CTS.

Abstract

The continuous decline in students’ achievement in physics, especially in wave motion, has become a significant concern among education stakeholders. This study, which examines the moderation of gender and school location in predicting test anxiety on students` achievement in wave motion in physics, offers actionable recommendations for improvement. A correlational research design was adopted. Three research questions and three hypotheses informed the study. A sample of 337 students drawn through a multistage sampling procedure was used for the study. Waves Test Anxiety Inventory (WTAI) and Waves Achievement Test (WAT) instruments were used for data collection. Reliability indices of 0.73 and 0.76 using Cronbach alpha and KR-20 were estimated for WTAI and WAT, respectively. The research questions were answered using regression analysis, while ANOVA and t-test results obtained using Hayes` Process Macro were used to test the hypotheses at a 0.05 significance level. Results showed that test anxiety significantly predicts students` achievement in wave motion. The results showed that the moderation of gender in test anxiety prediction was insignificant. However, the location significantly influenced the prediction of test anxiety on students` achievement in wave motion. It was recommended, among others, that physics teachers ensure that lesson contents are duly covered and that a conducive learning environment, clear instructions, and adequate preparations are made available to students before testing them, thereby potentially improving students' academic performance.
