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

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

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 inclination of a building can be a serious issue with potentially fatal consequences if not addressed correctly from the beginning, as it may lead to the building collapsing. Therefore, a tool is needed to detect the tilt of a building to determine the level of inclination. This research aims to design and build the Tilt Building Gun (TB Gun) as a portable device for detecting building inclination that can be easily used anywhere. The research methodology includes the design of hardware, development of software, and overall testing of the device. A miniature building in the form of a laptop-sized box was also constructed. The components used in this research include Arduino Nano, 2 HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors, and an OLED display. The test results of ultrasonic sensor 1 for horizontal direction yielded an accuracy value of 99.06% and a relative error of 0.94%. Meanwhile, the testing results of ultrasonic sensor 2, with an additional distance of 13.1 cm (distance between ultrasonic sensor 1 and ultrasonic sensor 2 to the ground surface) for vertical direction, resulted in an accuracy of 96.29% and a relative error of 3.71%. Subsequently, testing the building inclination angle with a horizontal distance of 25 cm for ultrasonic sensor 1 and a vertical distance of 20 cm for ultrasonic sensor 2 yielded an accuracy of 98.86% and a relative error of 1.14%. From these accuracy values, it can be concluded that the prototype has excellent accuracy. The building inclination angle data is then displayed on the OLED.

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.

Abstract

Physics laboratories often face difficulties managing practicums, especially in scheduling, equipment tracking, assessment, and evaluation of practicum results. The mismatch between practicum needs and resource availability usually results in delays, administrative errors, and increased workload of laboratory staff. This study proposes the development of a Physics Laboratory Practicum Management Information System (SIPRAKFIS) to optimize practicum management in physics laboratories. The research method used is R&D with a waterfall development model, which includes communication, planning, modeling, construction, and deployment stages. SIPRAKFIS was developed using the PHP MySQL programming language. System testing was done through unit testing, functionality, usability, and implementation. The study results indicate that SIPRAKFIS is feasible to use in practicum management and can be accessed online via www.labfisikauin.com. Unit testing on the login system was declared victorious. Functional testing obtained good results, namely a functional value of 1. Usability testing obtained a value of 82.59%. Deployment testing showed that the system can be run on various browsers, namely Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer. SIPRAKFIS can help facilitate the management of practicum services, reduce administrative errors, speed up the practicum scheduling process, and facilitate equipment monitoring and reporting of practicum values. The results of this study can also be further developed for research and testing services.
