Abstract

Science subjects really need a learning model that makes students learn a lot from experience, not from verbal speeches and memorizing concepts given by the teacher. Experience can only be gained through practical activities and experiments which can ultimately improve students' science process skills. The reality in the field shows that physics experimental activities cannot be carried out optimally because a lot of equipment cannot be operated, the number of experimental sets is not enough and the equipment needed is quite expensive. The aim of this research is to increase teachers' skills in developing low-cost laboratory experimental kits by combining technology from video analysis and modeling tools with the research object being the physics MGMP teachers of Agam district. Implementation stages include providing training/workshops, practical implementation and evaluation of results. After carrying out this activity stage, the results obtained are video analysis products from participants and student worksheets. The results of this research can be analyzed and concluded that physics teachers' understanding and skills in carrying out video-based practical activities have increased due to limited practical equipment in the laboratory. The increase in participants' understanding can be seen from the results and their satisfaction with the implementation of laboratory experiment kit development activities based on video analysis and modeling tools. Therefore, improving these skills has a very good impact on teachers to increase learning variations that attract students' interest, and assist students in understanding Physics concepts correctly and being able to find their best potential

Abstract

Character education is a special concern for national education goals. As a result of the nation's character, which has become ingrained in the ideals of the Indonesian nation's personality, being lost in schooling at this time. Learning closely relevant to daily issues might help develop good character. The minister of education in particular has announced the government's autonomous learning curriculum. The autonomous curriculum is an extracurricular study-based competency-based program designed to improve students' soft skills and character. As a consequence, it requires adjustments to processes, media, and sources or teaching materials. Measurement materials for learning physics in high school have been developed using a method called character-integrated SETS. In order to produce teaching materials that suit the needs, a number of tests are needed. One of the tests carried out is the validity test. This article presents the results of the expert validity test on the developed e-module.

Abstract

Low student learning outcomes are due to teacher-centered learning and lack of use of digital  materials. One way to solve this problem is the use of digital educational resources for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) topics. This study's objective was to ascertain the impact of her STEM-based digital material for light waves on student learning outcomes in a physics class. This method of research  is the scientific method, that is, experimental research. The study design used is a straightforward experimental strategy (post-test only control strategy). The XI IPA class served as the study's entire population, and the samples used were from the XI IPA 3 control class and the XI IPA 4 experimental class. Data collection means use end-of-learning tests or post-tests. Data processors were performed using the IBM SPSS program version 29.0 with normality tests, homogeneity tests, and hypothesis tests (t-tests). Based on the outcomes of our research, we discovered that the obtained data are normally distributed with a level of 0.182 ≥ 0.05 for the control class and 0.073 ≥ 0.05 for the experimental class. For the homogeneity test, the levels are 0.073 ≥ 0.05, so  the classes are homogeneous. On the other hand, for hypothesis tests or t-tests, the obtained sig (two-tailed) post-test is <0.001. This value is less than 0.005 and is based on the rejection criteria for Ho. The result of the pre-test t-test analysis  is 0.164, which means that this value is greater than 0.05, so  Ho is accepted. From this, we can conclude that his STEM-based digital teaching materials on light waves have an impact on students' learning outcomes in physics classes.
