Abstract

This study aims to design and test the validity of E-LKPD (Electronic Student Worksheet) based on the Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) learning model as an interactive learning medium to improve students' critical thinking skills in static fluid material. This E-LKPD was developed as an alternative teaching material that combines a constructivist approach with the use of digital technology in learning. The research method used was Research and Development (R&D) with a 4D development model, which includes the stages of define, design, develop, and disseminate. However, this study was limited to the develop stage, which focused on the validation of the E-LKPD by experts. The validation process was conducted by physics education lecturers from the University of Padang, who assessed the substance of the material, design, learning structure, and the suitability of the E-LKPD with the characteristics of the POE model. The validation results showed that the developed E-LKPD had very good quality with an overall average score of 0.90 and was categorized as valid. Thus, this POE-based E-LKPD is suitable for use as an innovative learning tool that not only supports the mastery of static fluid concepts but also develops students' critical thinking skills in the context of 21st-century learning.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model in enhancing the critical thinking skills of high school students on the topic of heat and temperature. The background of the study highlights the need for learning models that foster higher-order thinking skills and provide students with opportunities to solve contextual problems. A pre-experimental research design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach was applied to a class of 29 students from SMA Negeri 2 Ranah Batahan. The instrument used was a critical thinking skill test based on five indicators proposed by Ennis: providing simple explanations, building basic skills, making inferences, providing further clarification, and developing strategies and tactics. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, Levene's test, Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test, and N-Gain analysis. The results indicate a significant improvement in students' critical thinking abilities across all indicators after the implementation of PBL. The average N-Gain score reached 75.70%, categorized as high. The greatest improvement was observed in the "strategy and tactics" indicator, while the highest posttest score was in the "making inferences" indicator. These findings suggest that the PBL model, supported by interactive learning media, effectively engages students in problem-solving and reflective thinking. The model encourages active involvement, fosters logical reasoning, and improves conceptual understanding. In conclusion, the PBL approach integrated with interactive learning media is a powerful tool in promoting critical thinking in physics education.

Abstract

This research was motivated by the low problem-solving abilities of students on sound wave material and the need for more innovative approaches in physics learning. To address this issue, the GISTEM learning model (Guided Inquiry, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) was implemented. The research used a quasi-experimental method with a Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The population consisted of 216 students from six class XI Phase F physics specialization classes at SMAN 13 Garut. The sample was selected using a Cluster Random Sampling technique, with class XI-12 as the experimental group and class XI-11 as the control group, each consisting of 36 students. Problem-solving skills were measured using 10 descriptive test items administered as pretest and posttest. Data analysis involved prerequisite tests (normality and homogeneity), t-test hypothesis testing, and calculation of learning gains. The hypothesis test using the t-test at a significance level of α = 0.05 showed that  (15.56 > 1.67). Therefore, Hₐ was accepted, and H₀ was rejected. These results indicate that the GISTEM learning model significantly affects students’ problem-solving skills on sound wave material. The effectiveness of this model is attributed to its ability to promote independent learning, support conceptual understanding, and encourage the application of knowledge in new contexts.

Abstract

One of the causes of low student concept mastery is learning resources such as textbooks that are limited and less interesting to read or explore by students. Modules are one of the solutions to make it easier for students to understand physics-related concepts regarding effort and energy material. The module that will be applied to reduce these problems is a multirepresentation-based module. The purpose of this research is to analyze the improvement of students' concept mastery through the implementation of multirepresentation-based physics modules on the subject of effort and energy. The research was conducted on class X students at SMK Negeri 2 Jember with a pre-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest research design. The research sample was taken by purposive sampling using instruments such as tests, observations, interviews, and documentation. The improvement of concept mastery was measured using N-gain based on the comparison of pretest and posttest results. The results showed that the increase in concept mastery on effort and energy material was in the high category with an N-gain value of 74.72%. So, it can be concluded that the multirepresentation-based module proved effective in helping students understand physics concepts more deeply.

Abstract

The low level of scientific literacy in parabolic motion material is a problem in physics education at the high school level. The low level of students' scientific literacy is caused by the lack of students' ability to understand physics concepts.Assessment instruments that specifically assess students' science literacy skills on the concept of parabolic motion are still limited. This study aims to develop a valid four tier multiple choice e-assessment to assess students' science literacy skills on parabolic motion material. This study is a research and development (R&D) using the Plomp model. The developed e-assessment was validated by three experts. The data collection instruments used were teacher evaluation sheets, self-evaluation sheets, and validation sheets. The results of the validity analysis showed that the e-assessment was in the valid category in terms of construction feasibility, material substance feasibility, visual communication feasibility, and language feasibility. From the validation results with an average value of 0.95, it shows that the four tier multiple choice e-assessment to assess students' science literacy skills is declared valid and feasible to use.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the need for developing electronic assessments of critical thinking skills integrated with Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) on alternative energy material for phase E students. The research used a quantitative descriptive approach with the 4D model. The research population was 78 students of class X phase E in the 2024/2025 school year at SMAN 10 Padang, with a sample of 39 students selected by random sampling. Data collection techniques used questionnaires, critical thinking skills tests based on Ennis' five indicators, and interviews with physics teachers. The results showed that students' critical thinking skills were still relatively low, especially in the basic support indicator (building basic skills) with a percentage of only 1.28%. Learners have difficulty in considering the credibility of sources, observing results, and making appropriate decisions. Meanwhile, learners' sustainability awareness is classified as very high (80-89%), but it is still partial because it only focuses on environmental aspects, not including economic, social and cultural dimensions as demanded by ESD. The interview results show that teachers have implemented critical thinking assessments and technology in learning, but have not optimally integrated ESD and did not include appropriate scoring rubrics. This research identified an urgent need to develop an electronic assessment of ESD-integrated critical thinking skills by utilizing digital platforms such as wizer.me. This assessment is expected to provide a relevant and meaningful context for learners in developing critical thinking skills through sustainability issues, while equipping them with a comprehensive understanding of sustainable development that covers all its dimensions.
