Abstract

This study aims to analyze the level of science literacy at the Physics Education Study Program UIN Walisongo Semarang by using the International Student Assessment (PISA) Model Test Instrument. Science literacy is measured based on the ability of students in analyzing, applying concepts, and using a scientific approach in the context of basic mechanics, especially in business material, energy, and power. This study involved students of Physics Education UIN Walisongo Semarang with test data showing the highest score of 84, lowest 16, and an average of 32 of the maximum score of 100. Analysis of the indicator of competency achievement shows a significant variation between the eight aspects measured. The highest indicator is the ability to analyze and apply the concept of relationship between business and kinetic energy and potential energy (39%), followed by the application of scientific methods in the concept of kinetic and potential energy (36%). Meanwhile, the lowest indicator is found in the aspect of analyzing and applying the concept of relationship between business and mechanical energy changes (16%) as well as the application of scientific methods in the concept of mechanical energy (26%). These findings indicate that students tend to experience difficulties in integrating scientific approaches and complex conceptual understanding. The results of this study indicate that the literacy of physics education students is still at a low level, with the dominance of factual and conceptual abilities that have not fully developed to the analytical and applicative levels. Therefore, innovation is needed in the learning approach and assessment that is oriented towards strengthening scientific thinking and transfers cross -context concepts. This study made an important contribution in the development of PISA -based science literacy assessment for higher education in the field of physics education, as well as supporting the strengthening of 21st century competencies in science education in Islamic tertiary institutions.

Abstract

Thermoelectric devices have several advantages, including no moving parts, noise-free operation, long service life, zero-emission, and precise temperature control. Therefore, they have been widely used in solid-state cooling, heating, and power generation. The study of the Thermoelectric Peltier Effect Demonstrator can provide insights into the potential applications and benefits of thermoelectric devices. This research aims to investigate the Thermoelectric Peltier Effect Demonstrator and its applications in solid-state cooling and heating. Specifically, the study aims to examine the Peltier effect generated by applying an electric current to the TEC-12706 and TEG-SP1848 modules connected to a heatsink and placed in a container filled with water. The research methodology involves conducting experiments using the Thermoelectric Peltier Effect Demonstrator. The modules are connected to the heatsink and placed in a water-filled container, and an electric current is applied to generate the Peltier effect. The temperature changes on both sides of the modules and the amount of heat transfer are measured and recorded. The results of the experiments show that the Thermoelectric Peltier Effect Demonstrator can effectively generate the Peltier effect and produce temperature differences between the two sides of the modules. The amount of heat transfer can also be controlled by adjusting the electric current. These findings demonstrate the potential applications of thermoelectric devices in solid-state cooling and heating, as well as their ability to provide more precise temperature control compared to conventional compressors.

Abstract

Double layer (DL) ZnO/ZnO:Ag has been synthesized with variations in molarity of 0.1, 0.3, 0.5,  and 0.7 M and its application as a degrading agent for methanil yellow dye. This study aims to determine the effect of the molarity of the DL ZnO/ZnO:Ag on crystallinity and photocatalytic activity for methanil yellow degradation. DL ZnO/ZnO:Ag was synthesized using sol-gel technique and deposited with spray coating technique. The results of DL ZnO/ZnO:Ag were characterized by XRD to determine the crystallinity and particle size. The photocatalytic activity was carried out by immersing the DL ZnO/ZnO:Ag layer in 10 ppm methanil yellow solution and irradiating it with UV light for 4 hours and then tested using UV-Vis spectroscopy to get the percentage of methanil yellow degradation. The results showed that the crystallinity of the DL ZnO/ZnO:Ag for all molarity variations had a hexagonal wurtzite structure. Grains size increase as molarity increases from 0.1 to 0.5 M. However, if the concentration continues to be increased to 0.7M, the grain size decreases. Photocatalytic activity is increasing every hour, as indicated by the increasing percentage of degradation. Precursor in 0.5 M has the maximum percentage of degradation is 25.32%.
