Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate students’ problem-solving ability in learning the topic of rigid body equilibrium. The indicators of problem-solving ability used in this research are based on Heller’s problem-solving framework, namely: (1) understanding the problem, (2) describing the problem in terms of physics concepts, (3) planning a solution, (4) implementing the solution, and (5) evaluating the solution. The research method employed is descriptive quantitative, using a single-case design, that is, a case study focusing on only one unit of analysis. The participants in this study were Year 11 science-stream students (class XI MIA) at an Islamic upper secondary school (MA) in Garut Regency. Data were collected through problem-solving tests, interviews, and learner worksheets (LKPD). The findings indicate that students’ problem-solving abilities fall into varied categories with an overall mean in the moderate range. Nevertheless, the results suggest that improvements in teaching methods that better support problem-solving skills are still required.

Abstract

This study proposes to examine the implementation of a science teacher training program for developing smartphone-assisted practicums, emphasizing the correspondence between expectations and program outcomes. This research depends on the substantial findings regarding the application of smartphones in scientific studies, which remain primarily theoretical and have not been extensively adopted by teachers in schools. The training program consists of three primary phases: self-assessment for science teachers, assessment of school laboratories, and a workshop focused on the utilization of smartphones in experiments. The results indicated that participants responded positively to the training, with the program's achievement level varying from "achieved" to "highly achieved." Educators evaluated the material as pertinent, practical, and capable of enhancing comprehension and proficiency in the design of novel experiments. The reflection results indicated a necessity for additional training on complex practical subjects, including Electricity, Magnetism, Thermodynamics, and Fluids, with instruction in the construction of student worksheets and smartphone sensor-based data analysis. This course connects research findings with educational practices and promotes the transformation of technology-enhanced science learning in schools.

Abstract

This study aims to experimentally analyze the principle of rigid body equilibrium using a beam and pivot system as a learning aid. The concept of rigid body equilibrium explains how forces and moments work to keep an object stable. In this study, an experimental method with a quantitative approach was used to verify the law of force-moment equilibrium through variations in mass and the distance of the load from the fulcrum. The tools used included a wooden beam as a rigid body, a pivot as a fulcrum, and metal loads with varying masses. The results show that equilibrium is achieved when the left and right moments have almost the same value, with an average moment difference of <0.002 Nm. which shows high consistency with the theory of ∑τ = 0. In addition, the position of the center of mass which is within the range of ±0.3 cm from the fulcrum confirms the achievement of stable equilibrium. These findings indicate that the beam-pivot teaching aid is effective for use as a learning medium because it is able to visualize the relationship between mass, distance, and torque in a concrete manner, thereby helping to reduce misconceptions regarding the direction of rotation and moment of force. The implication of this research is that the design of a simple tool such as the beam-pivot system can be used as a reference in the development of educational experimental devices that are inexpensive, easy to implement, and relevant to strengthen the understanding of basic concepts in physics learning.

Abstract

This research aims to identify and understand the difficulties experienced by students in learning Mathematical Physics at IAIN Kerinci. Based on the results of qualitative data analysis using a case study approach obtained from interviews, classroom observations, and group discussions, it was found that the main factors affecting students' learning difficulties are limitations in basic mathematics mastery, the complexity of physics concepts, and the limitations of interactive teaching strategies. This study recommends the development of more interactive teaching methods, the enhancement of laboratory facilities, and the formulation of a curriculum that prioritizes strengthening the fundamentals of physics and mathematics. The results of this research are also expected to serve as a reference in improving the quality of more adaptive and applicative Mathematical Physics learning according to the academic needs of students.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the physical phenomena at work in the Lopi Sandeq through a conceptual analysis based on a structured literature review as a foundation for developing contextual and ethnoscience-oriented physics learning resources. The Lopi Sandeq was selected as the object of investigation because it is a traditional boat of the Mandar people known for its remarkable speed and stability, thus embodying various physics principles that can be explained systematically. The research employed a qualitative method using a structured literature review approach to analyze scholarly sources related to traditional boat design, fluid mechanics, sail aerodynamics, object motion dynamics, and learning theories rooted in local wisdom. The analysis was conducted through the identification, categorization, and synthesis of findings from relevant references. The results indicate that the design and performance of the Sandeq represent implementations of physical principles such as buoyant force, rotational stability, fluid dynamics, aerodynamic lift on sails, momentum, impulse, and mass distribution equilibrium. Its slender hull shape minimizes wave drag, while the outrigger provides stabilizing torque to maintain balance. The sail system combines thrust and lift forces to generate efficient acceleration. Beyond its scientific contributions, the study reveals that the Sandeq has significant potential as a physics learning medium based on ethnoscience, offering real-life contexts closely connected to students’ sociocultural environments. The study concludes that analyzing the physical phenomena of the Sandeq can enrich conceptual understanding of physics while strengthening cultural literacy within the learning process.

Abstract

This study investigates the reading needs and difficulties of Indonesian undergraduate Physics Education students when engaging with English-language physics education journals. Using a descriptive quantitative survey design, data were collected from 52 students through a semi-standardized 40-item Likert questionnaire (1–5) covering eight dimensions: reading purposes, awareness of journal structure, vocabulary and technical terms, comprehension skills, reading strategies, reading difficulties, attitudes and motivation, and institutional support. Content validity was confirmed through expert judgment, and internal consistency was excellent (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.956). Descriptive analysis in Google Sheets showed that students strongly value journal reading for coursework, thesis writing, and professional preparation, and they demonstrate basic familiarity with IMRAD conventions. However, they still experience major barriers in understanding discipline-specific and methodological vocabulary, interpreting multimodal data such as tables, graphs, and diagrams, and navigating Result sections when journal layouts vary. Strategy use also remains limited, as students tend to read linearly and rely on translation tools rather than using abstract-first reading, skimming, or scanning consistently. Although motivation toward journal reading is positive, low confidence in reading without translation indicates that skills development has not matched their academic awareness. The study highlights the need for integrated journal-reading support in Physics Education programs, especially systematic vocabulary enrichment, guided multimodal-reading practice, and flexible strategy training, supported by stronger institutional access to international journals.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the growth of glycine crystals in a chitosan matrix and its potential as a biopolymer-based piezoelectric sensor laboratory medium for physics education students. The research methodology involved synthesizing chitosan-glycine films using a solution method, then observing the growth and morphology of glycine crystals visually and using simple optical instruments. The results showed that glycine was able to grow in the chitosan matrix with clearly and evenly formed crystal morphology, which was influenced by the interaction between glycine and the chitosan matrix. The resulting film structure was flexible and transparent, making it suitable for use as an observation medium in practical activities. This study was limited to observing crystal growth without measuring electrical properties or piezoelectric response. Practically, the results of this study provide a simple, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly alternative laboratory medium for introducing the concepts of crystal growth and piezoelectric materials. The social implications support sustainable science learning through the use of biopolymer materials in education

Abstract

This study aims to map research trends and analyze the pedagogical role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing students' critical thinking skills in physics education. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method guided by PRISMA protocols and enriched with bibliometric analysis, this study reviewed Scopus-indexed articles published between 2015 and 2025. Based on 42 mapped articles and an in-depth analysis of 12 key studies, the results indicate a significant trend shift post-2023 toward the use of Generative AI. Key findings reveal that "Role Reversal" pedagogical strategies and the use of "Socratic Tutors" are the most effective approaches for stimulating logical reasoning and scientific argumentation. In conclusion, AI has transformed from a mere visualization tool into a cognitive partner, despite remaining limitations in spatial reasoning. The study’s implications recommend the necessity of redesigning physics assessments to focus on critical validation of technological outputs rather than final answers, alongside strengthening ethical literacy to prevent student cognitive dependency.

Abstract

This systematic literature review investigates the effectiveness of video demonstrations in enhancing students' deep conceptual understanding in physics education. Adopting the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a comprehensive search was conducted on the Scopus database for articles published between 2015 and 2025. A final selection of 20 high-impact empirical studies involving high school and university students was analyzed using thematic synthesis. The results reveal that video interventions successfully foster deep understanding only when designed to trigger active cognitive processing. Key effective strategies include leveraging cognitive conflict to correct misconceptions, utilizing video analysis tools (e.g., Tracker) for mathematical modeling, and employing simulations for abstract quantum concepts. Conversely, passive video consumption proves insufficient for conceptual change. The study concludes that video demonstrations function as effective cognitive scaffolds when coupled with interactivity, such as embedded questions and inquiry-based tasks. These findings imply that physics educators should transition from using videos as static illustrations to utilizing them as tools for active scientific analysis.
