Abstract

Physics learning requires an assessment process that not only focuses on achieving final results but also serves to support students' ongoing learning process. The form of assessment that plays a role in this is formative assessment. This literature review aims to examine formative assessment in supporting the physics learning process, particularly in terms of conceptual understanding and self-regulation. The method used in this study is a literature review by analyzing five national and international journal articles accredited by SINTA and Scopus published between 2021 and 2025. Data collection was conducted through a search of scientific databases, then articles were selected based on topic suitability, clarity of research methods, and their impact on the physics learning process. Clear, timely, and ongoing assessments help students analyze conceptual errors and increase student engagement in learning. Furthermore, the use of technology in formative assessment has been proven to provide effective feedback on student learning progress. Therefore, feedback-based formative assessment is recommended for consistent implementation to improve the quality of physics learning.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan merancang dan mengimplementasikan instalasi pengolahan air limbah (IPAL) domestik berbasis elektrokoagulasi di Pabrik kelapa sawit. Tujuan utama penelitian adalah mengevaluasi efektivitas sistem dalam menurunkan konsentrasi pencemar serta membandingkan efisiensinya dengan IPAL domestik skala kecil yang dilaporkan pada penelitian terdahulu. Sistem IPAL dirancang dengan kapasitas 1000 L/jam, dilengkapi elektroda besi dan aluminium, tabung filter FRP, serta siklus pompa otomatis. Analisis kualitas air dilakukan di laboratorium terakreditasi KAN terhadap parameter BOD, COD, TSS, TDS, dan pH, kemudian dibandingkan dengan baku mutu air limbah domestik (PermenLHK No. 68/2016). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penurunan BOD dari 47 menjadi 29 mg/L (38,3%), COD dari 118 menjadi 74 mg/L (37,3%), TSS dari 52 menjadi 28 mg/L (46,2%), dan TDS dari 506 menjadi 414 mg/L (18,2%), di mana semua hasil outlet memenuhi baku mutu. Dibandingkan dengan IPAL skala kecil, sistem skala besar menunjukkan efisiensi lebih rendah, namun tetap menghasilkan efluen yang sesuai standar lingkungan dan aman dimanfaatkan kembali untuk penyiraman tanaman. Hasil ini menegaskan bahwa IPAL elektrokoagulasi skala besar layak diterapkan secara praktis meskipun persentase penurunannya lebih rendah.

Abstract

Science learning in the digital era requires innovation to ensure that students not only understand concepts but are also able to connect them with real-life contexts. This study aims to analyze the challenges of implementing interactive media in Science learning based on the Science, Environment, Technology, and Society (SETS) approach at the junior high school level. The research employed a mixed-methods approach with a case study design involving 30 students and 3 science teachers. Data were collected through student perception questionnaires and teacher interview sheets. The questionnaire results showed an average perception score of 3.97 out of 5, indicating a positive response toward the integration of interactive media and the SETS approach. However, further analysis revealed that although interactive media enhanced students’ understanding and motivation, their activeness, self-confidence, and ability to connect science with technology and social issues still need improvement. These findings indicate that the main challenge in implementing interactive media based on the SETS approach lies in strengthening students’ participation and scientific communication through more collaborative and contextual learning activities.

Abstract

Digital learning environments and family support are an important part of student learning success. However, the relationship between technology use, family roles, and student achievement is not always directly related. There are other factors that influence such as students' curiosity and attitude towards science. Purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between digital use, family support, curiosity, science attitudes, and student achievement using PISA 2022 data. The research uses a quantitative approach based on secondary data, analyzed through path analysis with maximum likelihood estimation. The results of the study found a positive relationship between family support and curiosity, attitudes towards science, and student achievement. Digital use has relatively little relationship with curiosity and attitudes towards science. Curiosity plays a role as a psychological factor that has a positive relationship with students' scientific attitudes and achievement. Therefore, digital technology should not only be understood as a learning tool, but also as a means to encourage exploration, build curiosity, and create more meaningful learning engagement. This study enriches PISA-based studies by showing that curiosity can be an important link between the digital environment, family support, and student learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low effectiveness of summative assessment in measuring students' understanding of the Global Warming topic in Grade X at SMAN 1 Koto XI Tarusan. As a conceptual subject, this material requires an appropriate evaluation instrument. This research employed a quantitative method by analyzing the difficulty level, discriminating power, and reliability of 20 multiple-choice questions and 5 essay questions. The results showed that most objective items were classified as easy with low discriminating power, while the essay items were of moderate difficulty, had very good discriminating power, and high reliability. These findings indicate that essay questions are more effective in assessing students’ critical thinking skills and conceptual understanding. Therefore, developing high-quality assessment instruments is essential to improve the quality of learning.

Abstract

Patin fish is one of the leading freshwater fish commodities and is highly perishable. This study aimed to examine the effect of exposure to ELF electromagnetic fields with intensities of 500 µT and 1500 µT for 120 minutes on the pH, density, and physical quality of patin fish meat. The study employed an experimental design using a RAL design. The samples consisted of 50 catfish fillets, divided into two groups: a control group without exposure and an experimental group exposed to ELF magnetic fields. Measurements of pH, density, and physical quality were taken at 0, 12, 18, and 24 hours after exposure. The analytical methods included descriptive analysis and the Shapiro-Wilk test. Additionally, the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Mann-Whitney test were performed using SPSS. The results showed that exposure to an ELF magnetic field with an intensity of 1500 µT for 120 minutes was most effective in maintaining the pH, density, and physical quality of catfish meat.
