Abstract

This study aimed to develop and validate a Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) assessment instrument that leverages Wordwall activities embedded in Google Sites for teaching Newton’s Laws. A quantitative-descriptive design with an evaluative approach was employed. Nineteen Grade XI science students from Gajah Mada Private Senior High School were selected through purposive sampling. Item analysis examined validity, reliability, difficulty level, and discrimination power. Of the ten multiple-choice items constructed, five (50 %) met validity criteria, and the instrument achieved a reliability coefficient of 0.492, indicating adequate internal consistency. Difficulty indices classified three items as difficult and seven as moderate, while discrimination indices categorized two items as very good, three as good, one as fair, and four as poor. Students’ mean achievement score of 37.89 % suggests limited familiarity with HOTS-oriented questions. Pedagogically, embedding Wordwall in Google Sites enhanced learner engagement, reduced test anxiety, increased comfort, and simplified teachers’ post-test analysis through automated scoring. Consequently, the HOTS-based instrument is not only statistically sound but also practically effective for supporting digital physics instruction.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the physics concepts embedded in the traditional Indonesian games Tarik Tambang (Tug of War) and Balap Karung (Sack Race) through the application of Newton’s Laws. Conducted within the framework of ethnophysics, the research seeks to bridge scientific principles with local wisdom to foster contextual and engaging physics learning for students. A qualitative approach utilizing literature review was employed, analyzing various scholarly sources related to traditional games and their underlying physical principles. The findings reveal that Tarik Tambang illustrates Newton’s Second Law of Motion and the role of static friction. The game demonstrates how the acceleration of the opposing team is determined by the net pulling force and total system mass, while static friction is essential for maintaining player balance and traction. Additionally, strategies such as placing heavier players at the back enhance force generation and overall team performance. In Balap Karung, Newton’s Third Law and momentum significantly influence participants’ movements. The forward propulsion results from the backward action force exerted by the feet, which is met with an equal and opposite ground reaction force. Momentum affects the stability and speed of the jump, and friction between the sack and ground determines the efficiency of motion. This research highlights the pedagogical potential of traditional games in physics education. By contextualizing Newtonian mechanics through culturally familiar activities, students can develop a more concrete understanding of physical laws. The study recommends incorporating such games into instructional strategies to promote meaningful and culturally responsive science learning.

Abstract

Student interest in physics at the Indonesian senior-high-school (SMA) level remains a pivotal yet uneven driver of science achievement. This study offers a critical narrative review of 15 peer-reviewed national articles published between 2018 and 2024 to identify the factors that foster—or inhibit—students’ engagement with physics. Systematic searches of Garuda, SINTA, Google Scholar, and ERIC yielded empirical studies that met five inclusion criteria; data were extracted, quality-appraised with a CASP-based checklist, and thematically coded. Results indicate that a majority of learners report good to very good interest, but this enthusiasm is fragile, undermined by persistent perceptions of physics as abstract, difficult, and only loosely connected to everyday life. Influences cluster into internal factors—motivation, self-efficacy, prior knowledge—and external factors—pedagogical design, facility availability, and learning climate. Evidence converges on three high-leverage practices: blended-learning models that combine face-to-face inquiry with digital simulations; context-rich tasks linking concepts to household technologies and socio-scientific issues; and explicit scaffolding of critical-thinking routines. Conversely, lecture-dominated instruction and limited laboratory access correlate with lower interest and higher difficulty indices. The review recommends that teachers embed interactive digital media and real-world problem contexts, while policy-makers invest in virtual-laboratory infrastructure, equitable internet connectivity, and ongoing professional development targeting inquiry facilitation and formative assessment of reasoning. Future research employing large-scale quantitative designs across diverse regions is needed to validate these recommendations and refine a national strategy for sustaining students’ curiosity and achievement in physics.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) tools integrated with STEM and local content—specifically the cultural practice of Jambi coffee brewing—in enhancing students’ learning outcomes in the physics topic of temperature and heat. The research employed a quasi-experimental method using a non-equivalent control group design. The participants were 11th-grade students from SMA Negeri 11 Muaro Jambi in the 2024/2025 academic year, selected through purposive sampling. A total of 54 students participated, divided evenly into two classes: the experimental class, which was taught using STEM-integrated PjBL tools incorporating local content, and the control class, which was taught using conventional PjBL tools without STEM or local context integration. Both groups underwent pretest and posttest assessments. Data were analyzed using paired sample t-tests and independent sample t-tests with a significance level of 0.05. The paired t-test results indicated a statistically significant improvement in both classes (p = 0.000). However, the independent sample t-test revealed a significant difference in posttest scores between the two groups (p = 0.011), with the experimental class showing greater gains. These results suggest that the integration of STEM and local cultural context into PjBL can deepen students’ conceptual understanding, enhance engagement, and improve learning outcomes more effectively than PjBL alone. The contextualization of physics content using familiar real-world practices, such as coffee brewing, provides meaningful learning experiences that connect abstract scientific concepts to students' daily lives.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a Guided Inquiry-Based Student Worksheet (LKPD) assisted by Assemblr Edu to improve students’ conceptual understanding in an Electronics course. The LKPD is designed to engage students in structured investigative learning through the guided inquiry approach, while Assemblr Edu serves as a visualization tool for displaying 3D representations of equipment, materials, and electronic circuits used in learning activities. The study follows the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation), but is limited to the development phase. Data were collected through expert validation sheets and student perception questionnaires. The content and media experts each provided a validation score of 95%, categorizing the LKPD as “highly valid” for field testing. Furthermore, the student perception analysis yielded a favorable score of 92.3%, indicating strong acceptance of the product in terms of design, content clarity, and learning motivation. These results confirm that the developed LKPD is both pedagogically and technologically suitable for use in higher education, particularly in supporting students’ conceptual understanding of complex topics such as RC and RLC series circuits in alternating current (AC). The integration of guided inquiry with augmented reality enhances student engagement and allows for better conceptual visualization, making it a promising tool for improving the quality of Electronics instruction.

Abstract

Scientific creativity is an essential competence that must be possessed by prospective physics teachers to face the challenges of 21st-century learning. To foster this ability, innovation in learning strategies and the development of relevant and contextual teaching materials are required. This study aims to develop thematic teaching materials on electricity and magnetism based on Guided Inquiry, integrated with a Blended Learning approach to enhance the scientific creativity of physics education students. The designed learning model combines the advantages of the guided inquiry approach in exploring physics concepts with the flexibility of an online learning environment. This study uses a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The scientific creativity measurement instrument includes eight main indicators: originality, fluency, flexibility, elaboration, problem sensitivity, scientific imagination, hypothesis formulation, and experiment design. The analysis results show that the normalized gain (N-gain) scores for all indicators fall within the moderate to high categories, indicating a significant improvement after the implementation of the teaching materials. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of the Guided Inquiry strategy with the Blended Learning approach in developing electricity-magnet teaching materials, which has been proven effective in promoting the growth of scientific creativity among prospective physics teachers.

Abstract

Physics learning is often perceived as challenging by students due to the abundance of formulas and abstract theories, as well as the lack of contextual learning resources. One approach that can be implemented to enhance students' interest and understanding is integrating local wisdom into physics learning through ethnophysics. This study aims to identify physics concepts in the Sigale-Gale puppet performance in North Sumatra and to analyze how the ethnophysical approach can be utilized to create more contextual and meaningful learning experiences. This research serves as an initial study of North Sumatran cultural performances in the context of physics. The method used is qualitative, in the form of a literature review. The results indicate that the Sigale-Gale performance encompasses various physics concepts, such as sound waves produced by gondang musical instruments, and the principles of motion, levers, balance, and acceleration embedded in the puppet’s mechanism. By applying the ethnophysical approach, students can gain a more tangible understanding of physics while also helping to preserve local culture. These findings can serve as a foundation for developing lesson plans (RPP) based on local culture, making physics learning more enjoyable, interactive, and meaningful.

Abstract

Active learning should involve students directly in the learning process through interaction with peers and teachers. However, classroom instruction often fails to engage students effectively, with limited use of varied instructional media and models. This study aims to develop a Respiratory Card learning medium using the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model to improve learning outcomes of fifth-grade elementary school students on the topic of the human respiratory system. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the 4D development model, which includes the stages of Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. Data collection techniques included interviews, observations, questionnaires, and tests, while data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results showed that: (1) the Respiratory Card learning media was declared valid with average scores of 88% from content experts and 90.6% from media experts, categorized as “highly feasible” using a Likert scale; (2) the media was considered practical based on a 92% average score from teacher responses, categorized as “very practical”; and (3) the media was effective, as indicated by an improvement in students’ test scores to an average of 84.2% at SDS Attaufiq Medan, and significant differences were found in learning outcomes between the experimental and control classes at UPT SDN Percobaan (sig. value = 0.000 < 0.05). The use of the Respiratory Card media enhanced student engagement and improved learning outcomes.
