Abstract

The success of a learning is influenced by several factors. Media and learning models are important factors in supporting learning success. This study aims to develop physics learning applications, especially in light diffraction materials that are suitable for use by high school students based on active learning type Index Card Match (ICM) to improve student learning outcomes especially in the post-covid-19 pandemic era. By using learning media in the form of applications and active learning models, learning can take place effectively and conducively so that student learning outcomes can increase. The method used is a 4D model, but only up to the development stage. The feasibility of this blueprint application was tested using a questionnaire that has 10 questions with 6 indicators and involves 24 students from several universities in Indonesia who are studying physics. The results of the questionnaire were analyzed using the interval success method and then categorized into 4 Assessment Scales. The results showed that the learning application developed is very feasible to use on all indicators that got 4.095 on average final score. This blueprint application can be developed into applications that are ready for use by students and applications that can be developed at the material and other levels.

Abstract

The paper presents the theme addressed in the classroom for students of the 3rd year of high school, in a public school in São Cristóvão, Rio de Janeiro, with the objective of extracting information through the exploration of the effects of multiple loads in the teaching of electrostatics. Two principles of electrostatics were addressed, such as load conservation and quantization of electrical load, being fundamental points for the experimental realization. The theoretical foundation was based on John Dewey is arguments, emphasizing the need for the use of experiments in science classes, conditioning the student to be the protagonist of the educational process, as well as that of Paulo Freire, so that students participate in the activities with critical and reflective posture, raising hypotheses and arguments necessary for the construction of their own knowledge. We initially discuss theoretically the fundamental aspects of the electrical charge, with the initial discoveries of the Greeks, traveling through scientists at various times in history, working on the development and improvement of electricity. We applied an experimental activity to explore and complement the exposed treatment on the interactions of electrical charges, with the division of two groups, so that students discuss with each other and work to support the assumption, according to the determinations of the questions of the virtual experiment. We discuss the results, dialoguing with the students the possibilities and facts determined by physics.

Abstract

Meeting students' needs based on their characteristics is crucial to ensure they can learn comfortably and optimally. The objective of this research is to formulate learning plans that align with students' characteristics. This study adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, encompassing case studies and literature reviews. The research was conducted at Public Senior High School of Godean 1, with the subjects being 36 students from the 11th Science 3 class. Observation sheets and questionnaires were employed as instruments to identify students' characteristics, guided by the theory of differentiated learning. The analysis techniques involved data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions/verification. Observation results indicate that the learning process has not effectively addressed students' Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) and learning modalities. The majority of students operate at the potential level, with visual, kinesthetic, and audio modalities being the dominant ones in that order. A literature review on learning design suggests that differentiated learning, particularly through methods such as discovery learning and gallery walks, can serve as alternatives to meet these diverse learning needs.

Abstract

The capacity of educators to strategize and execute instructional sessions is essential in determining the academic achievements of students. Teachers can improve learning outcomes by choosing a suitable instructional model that is in line with the learning goals and the content to be delivered in the classroom. The objective of this study is to examine the disparities in physics learning achievements among Grade X students at SMAN 1 2x11 Enam Lingkung who were instructed using the Guided Inquiry model versus those who were instructed using the Jigsaw Cooperative learning model. This study used a quasi-experimental methodology employing a posttest-only control design. The study sample comprises Grade X students enrolled at SMAN 1 2x11 Enam Lingkung for the academic year 2023/2024. The sample was chosen via purposive sampling, with Class X.1 as the first experimental group and Class X.2 as the second experimental group. The research data comprises the academic achievements of students in the field of knowledge. Examples of data gathering equipment encompass the utilization of multiple-choice examinations. The employed data analysis procedures include descriptive analysis, normality test, homogeneity test, and hypothesis testing with a significance level (α) of 0.05. The data analysis indicates that the average learning outcomes for the first experimental group were 75.429, but for the second experimental group, it was 65.000. The results of the hypothesis testing conducted on the posttest scores indicated that the calculated t-value (t_calculated) was 3.781, which was more than the critical t-value (t-table) of 2.010. This suggests that the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted. There is a notable distinction between pupils instructed using the Guided Inquiry style and those taught with the Jigsaw Cooperative learning methodology for the subject of alternative energy.

Abstract

Understanding concepts is an individual's ability to understand the meaning of concepts, situations and facts that they know. Class X students' understanding of concepts at SMA Negeri 1 Kampung Dalam needs attention, because students' conceptual understanding is still relatively low. This is because the learning that has been developed has not been adapted to students' needs, namely teaching materials, resulting in student learning outcomes not reaching the expected results. One of the teaching materials that can improve students' understanding of physics learning material is E-Module. This research aims to determine the effect of using the Contextually Based Physics E-Module on Students' Understanding of Concepts. To achieve the goal, the Quasi Experiment method was applied with a Posttest-Only Control Design. The data in this research is in the form of students' understanding of the measurement material, collected through a test instrument, which consists of 7 indicators and is translated into 30 questions. Data analysis used the T test at a significance level of 5%. Based on data analysis, a t-count value of 3,638 was obtained. The threshold value at degrees of freedom is 62 and the significance level is 1.670. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that there is an influence of the E-Module on students' understanding of concepts.
