Abstract

During the learning process, educators have used teaching materials in the form of textbooks, power points, and LKPD. After analyzing the teaching materials used by educators in the learning process, it was found that the implementation of physics learning did not apply the concept of everyday life. The learning media used by educators in the form of power points with a less attractive appearance, because there were no pictures and learning videos that linked the material being studied, this caused students to be less active during the learning process, so that the learning process that took place was still one-way. Along with the development of technology, the learning process must be able to utilize technology in its activities such as learning media. One of the learning media that can be developed is physics learning media using Powtoon which is interesting and can help students to better understand the learning process. The purpose of this study is to develop physics learning media using Powtoon based on Predict Observe Explain (POE) in class XI SMA N 6 Solok Selatan which is valid and practical. This type of research is research and development (Research and Development) which uses the 4D development model. This research was conducted in class XI IPA 3 SMA N 6 Solok Selatan which consisted of 30 students. The percentage of validity level based on material experts and media experts, obtained an average validation of 90.7% which is categorized as very valid. The level of validity of teaching materials is reviewed from the aspects of content feasibility, language feasibility, presentation feasibility and graphics. In addition, for the percentage of media practicality, an average practicality of 92.32% was obtained which was categorized as very practical.

Abstract

This study explores how effective the Higher Order Thinking Laboratory (HOT-Lab) model is in physics learning, especially on the concept of spring potential energy through virtual PhET simulation. The HOT-Lab model is designed to improve students' critical, creative, and analytical thinking skills and their ability to solve complex problems. This study tries to compare the variation of force and spring constant in a virtual experiment to see its effect on the spring potential energy. The results show that the applied force, spring constant, and potential energy stored in the spring are closely related to each other. Increasing the force or spring constant directly increases the spring potential energy. Virtual PhET simulation has been shown to be a useful tool in visualizing abstract concepts, facilitating variable analysis, and improving students' higher order thinking skills. The results of this study indicate that HOT-Lab has great potential as an innovative method in physics laboratory learning that can develop students' scientific skills in a more in-depth and contextual way.

Abstract

In PISA 2025, formulated by the OECD in 2023, the science competence expected of students is to be able to recognize, construct, apply, and evaluate a phenomenon scientifically and use the scientific information in decision-making and subsequent actions. Many studies have revealed a decline in the level of interest in science. One of the causes of this is the lack of science self-efficacy. This study aims to analyze the self-efficacy of junior high school students toward science learning. The instrument used in this study is a questionnaire called the science self-efficacy Scale (SSES), which consists of four aspects: identification and recall, explaining and applying, questioning and debating, innovative design, and two open-ended questions. The participants of this study totalled 331 students, consisting of 200 females and 131 males. The data collected were analyzed with descriptive statistics. The results showed that the average self-efficacy of IPA was 3.14, which was included in the moderate category. The results of the average score of each aspect are in the aspect of identifying and remembering 3.29, in the aspect of explaining and applying 3.09, in the aspect of asking and arguing 3.08, and in the aspect of innovative design 3.04. Open-ended questions reveal that internal factors of learners and external factors of teachers and the learning environment influence self-efficacy in science. Therefore, the Kruskal-Wallis test results show that the Asymp.Sig. value is 0.002-0.037, so there is a significant difference in self-efficacy in science between grades 7, 8, and 9.

Abstract

Self-regulated learning has the potential to help optimize the effectiveness of physics learning. Therefore, research on self-regulated learning in physics education is vital. However, only limited studies exist on research trends related to this topic. For this reason, we are interested in capturing the characteristics of research about self-regulated learning in physics learning. This study was conducted to find out the characteristics of self-regulated learning in physics lessons and its future research directions.  The literature review method was used to address the research objectives. The article search used the keywords ‘Self-regulated learning’ OR ‘Self-directed learning’ AND ‘Physics’, with the article's publication date limited to between 2012 and 2024. This study reviewed 12 articles from the Scopus database. This review found that self-regulated learning research in physics context is still very limited regarding methods, research variables/objects, and learning topics. Physics topics that have been researched include heat, dynamic fluids, and atomic physics.This result indicates that there are still wide opportunities for studies on self-regulated learning in physics with variations in methods, research variables/objects, and learning topics.
