Abstract

Conceptual understanding plays a crucial role in physics learning because it enables students to connect theory with real phenomena, build scientific reasoning, and prevent misconceptions. However, the reality of learning shows that students' conceptual understanding, especially of Newton's laws, is still low. This condition calls for innovation in teaching materials, one of which is through the development of educational games based on the cognitive conflict learning model. This study aims to develop a valid and practical cognitive conflict learning model-based physics educational game to improve students' conceptual understanding. The research includes development research using the Plomp model, which consists of preliminary research, development or prototyping, and assessment stages. The research was limited to one-to-one practicality testing. Data were obtained through a preliminary study of students in classes XI F4 and XI F5 taught by physics teachers at SMA Pembangunan Laboratorium UNP. Validation was carried out by three physics lecturers from FMIPA UNP, while practicality testing was carried out on three students in class XI Fase F at the same school. The research instruments included open-ended questionnaires, concept comprehension tests, teaching material needs questionnaires, self-evaluation sheets, validity sheets, and practicality sheets. Data analysis used descriptive, V Aiken, and percentage techniques. The results showed that students needed technology-based teaching materials to improve their concept comprehension. The physics educational game on Newton's Law material was successfully developed with excellent quality. The self-evaluation results were 96 percent, the average validity was 0.93, and the practicality was 90.06 percent, all of which were categorized as very good. The game was declared valid and practical for use in high school physics learning and will be followed up with an effectiveness test of the educational game product.

Abstract

Physics learning in schools is expected to facilitate not only the acquisition of conceptual knowledge but also the development of students’ scientific reasoning and higher-order thinking skills. One learning strategy that has gained attention in physics education is inquiry-based learning, particularly when supported by appropriate instructional materials. Student Worksheets play an important role in guiding students through structured learning activities that encourage active engagement and conceptual construction. In addition, the deep learning approach emphasizes meaningful learning, reflection, and the integration of knowledge across concepts. This study aims to systematically examine the role of Student Worksheets within inquiry-based learning models that are integrated with a deep learning approach in physics education. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted by analyzing 15 relevant national and international journal articles published over the last ten years. The findings indicate that inquiry-based Student Worksheets designed according to deep learning principles contribute positively to students’ conceptual understanding, critical thinking skills, and learning engagement in physics. These results highlight the potential of integrating inquiry learning and deep learning approaches through well-designed Student Worksheets to enhance the quality of physics learning.

Abstract

Technological and scientific progress is a characteristic of the 21st century that requires students to think creatively, communicate, critically and also collaborate. This study aims to perform a requirements analysis in developing E-Modules based on Problem Based Learning on alternative energy material and its use to Enhancing students' critical thinking abilities in high school. The conclusion of this research show five result from the needs analysis, namely: (1) The utilization of ICT in education with a score of 94 in the very good category. (2) student characteristics are good with a value of 71.80. (3) Implementation of learning objectives by teachers as observed from learning outcomes. objective flow of one physics teacher are in the sufficient category. (4) Learning arrangements implemented by teachers seen from the teaching module of one teacher are in the sufficient category. (5) analysis of students' critical thinking skills. Data were obtained from 21 grade XI students with an average of 22.77 in the less category.

Abstract

The integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in education has encouraged the use of electronic assessments to support the evaluation of higher-order thinking skills, particularly critical thinking in physics learning. However, existing assessments are still limited in effectively measuring these skills. This study aims to develop a cognitive conflict-based electronic assessment on work and energy and to determine its content validity and practicality in evaluating high school students’ critical thinking skills. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using Plomp’s model, which consists of preliminary research, development or prototyping, and assessment stages. The subjects were physics teachers and students of State Senior High School 10 Padang with varying levels of critical thinking skills. The instruments included a validation sheet and a practicality questionnaire. Content validity was analyzed using Aiken’s V index, while practicality was analyzed using percentage techniques. The results showed that the developed assessment has a high level of content validity, with an average Aiken’s V value of 0.85, categorized as “highly valid,” and is highly practical, with scores above 96% across all evaluation stages. Therefore, the assessment is suitable for evaluating students’ critical thinking skills in physics learning and can be used as an effective tool to support the improvement of learning evaluation quality.
