Abstract

Education and learning play an important role in developing individual character and skills. Learning is a process that is specifically designed to help individuals develop their thinking skills. Learning models can be an effective tool to achieve optimal learning. LKPD will certainly be more effective with the help of learning models in improving student learning outcomes. The problem found is that the use of LKPD in learning has not helped students to construct new knowledge with old knowledge they already have, the learning model is not optimal for building new knowledge of students and students' creative thinking skills are still relatively low. This research aims to develop a valid and practical cognitive conflict-based generative learning LKPD. This research uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with the 4D development model (define, design, develop, disseminate). The define stage includes needs analysis and problem identification. At the design stage, the LKPD was designed by considering the content, structure, and aesthetic components. The develop stage involves validity testing by experts, as well as practicality testing by practitioners and users. Based on the validation and practicality instruments that have been analyzed, it can be concluded that the LKPD for cognitive conflict-based learning on measurement material produced is valid with Aiken's V of (0.9) with a valid category. While the practicality of educators and students is obtained at (90.1) and (90.4) with a very practical category.

Abstract

Critical and creative thinking skills are essential 21st-century competencies that students need to master. However, in reality, the mastery of these skills remains relatively low. This low level of skill is caused by the limited availability of teaching materials that are not yet integrated with Information and Communication Technology (ICT), ethnoscience, and the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model. This study aims to analyze the needs for developing heat ICT-based teaching materials integrated with the ethno-PBL approach. The research method used is descriptive quantitative research. Data were collected through questionnaire instruments filled out by both the researcher and students. The results of the study revealed six key findings from the needs analysis: (1) the context of heat teaching materials scored 53.75; (2) the integration of ethnoscience into teaching materials scored 31.67; (3) the integration of the PBL model into teaching materials scored 48; (4) students' learning interest scored 57; (5) students' learning motivation scored 47; and (6) students' critical and creative thinking skills were still low, with scores of 39 and 36 respectively. The conclusion drawn from the needs analysis is that the development of heat ICT-based teaching materials integrated with the ethno-PBL approach is highly needed by senior high school students to support the enhancement of their critical and creative thinking skills.

Abstract

This research addresses the need for engaging and accessible physics learning media by developing and evaluating a Google Sites-based resource for the topic of Measurement, designed for tenth-grade students. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) methodology, utilizing the ADDIE model, but was limited to the analysis, design, and development phases, which included comprehensive feasibility testing. The feasibility assessment involved two key stages: a validity test conducted by a panel of six experts (three UNP Physics lecturers and three senior Physics teachers from SMAN 5 Padang) , and a practicality test with end-users (three Physics teachers and 40 tenth-grade students at SMAN 5 Padang). Data were collected using validated questionnaires. The validity data were analyzed using Aiken's V statistic, while practicality data were analyzed using descriptive percentage analysis. The findings indicated a high level of validity, with an average Aiken's V score of 0.90. The practicality assessment also yielded positive results, with teachers awarding an average score of 93.6% (Very Practical), and students providing an average score of 84.21% (Very Practical). These results confirm that the developed Google Sites-based learning media is both valid and highly practical for implementation in the physics learning process.

Abstract

Technological advancements play a vital role in supporting educational processes, particularly in the development of instructional materials. A needs analysis conducted at SMA N 1 Dua Koto revealed that teachers continue to face difficulties in designing technology-based teaching resources. Existing teaching materials have yet to make a significant impact on the improvement of students' knowledge and creative thinking skills. One promising approach to address this issue is the development of interactive teaching materials that integrate ethnoscience and meaningful learning principles. This study aims to evaluate the validity of interactive teaching materials on environmental pollution that are integrated with ethno-meaningful learning. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) design using the Hannafin and Peck model. The object of the research was the interactive teaching material itself. Data were collected through instruments such as needs analysis questionnaires, validity assessments, and practicality evaluations. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods, particularly Aiken’s V formula. The results of the validation process indicated an average Aiken’s V score of 0.91 which falls into the “valid” category. These findings suggest that the developed teaching materials are both valid and suitable for implementation in classroom settings, with the potential to significantly enhance students’ knowledge and creative thinking skills.

Abstract

In order to encourage students' creative thinking regarding static fluid material, this study aims to assess the need for physics e-modules based on the Dual Space Inquiry framework. This research employs a development (R&D) methodology using the Dick and Carey instructional design model. Descriptive quantitative data analysis was used in the study. The results showed that students’ creative thinking abilities were still categorized as low, with an average percentage of 24.22%. Observations revealed that the learning approach used had not effectively encouraged students’ creative thinking, and that teachers were still relying on print-based instructional resources. Furthermore, based on a questionnaire completed by students, static fluid was identified as a topic that is difficult for them to understand. In light of these issues, there is a need for teaching materials that are both technology-based and capable of stimulating students' creative thinking skills. Therefore, the researchers propose a physics e-module based on the Dual Space Inquiry framework as a solution to enhance students’ creative thinking in learning static fluid material.

Abstract

Pengetahuan dan keterampilan berpikir kreatif merupakan unsur penting dalam pembelajaran abad 21. Namun kenyataan di lapangan menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan dan keterampilan berpikir kreatif siswa masih tergolong rendah. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah penggunaan bahan ajar yang belum kontekstual dan belum mengaitkan konsep IPA dengan budaya lokal dan kehidupan sehari-hari. Solusi untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut adalah dengan mengembangkan E-LKPD terintegrasi Etno-STEM sebagai bahan ajar inovatif yang memadukan unsur budaya lokal dengan pendekatan sains, teknologi, rekayasa, dan matematika. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan dan menganalisis keabsahan E-LKPD terintegrasi Etno-STEM untuk memfasilitasi pengetahuan dan keterampilan berpikir kreatif siswa pada materi kalor. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Research and Development (R&D) dengan model Hannafin & Peck yang meliputi tahapan analisis kebutuhan, desain, pengembangan, dan implementasi. Validasi dilakukan oleh tiga orang dosen fisika Universitas Negeri Padang (UNP) dengan menggunakan instrumen yang meliputi delapan komponen utama yaitu, substansi materi, tampilan komunikasi visual, desain pembelajaran, pemanfaatan perangkat lunak, integrasi etno-stem, kemampuan pengetahuan, dan keterampilan berpikir kreatif. Hasil validasi menunjukkan bahwa semua aspek memperoleh skor validitas tinggi dengan nilai 0,87 yang mengklasifikasikan E-SWS ini dalam kategori "valid". E-SWS dirancang dengan Canva dan disajikan melalui Liveworksheet yang memberikan pengalaman belajar yang interaktif dan inovatif. Integrasi etno-STEM yang memadukan unsur budaya lokal dengan konsep sains, teknologi, rekayasa, dan matematika menciptakan pembelajaran kontekstual. Oleh karena itu, E-SWS yang dikembangkan dalam penelitian ini layak digunakan sebagai bahan ajar yang kreatif, inovatif, dan kontekstual sejalan dengan Kurikulum Merdeka dan pembelajaran abad 21.

Abstract

Through the use of the Wizer.me digital platform and the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model, this study attempts to develop a digital evaluation to gauge high school students' critical thinking abilities about temperature and heat. The Plomp development model, which comprises a development or prototype stage and a preliminary research stage, was used in the study's Research and Development (R&D) methodology. At SMA Negeri 1 Banuhampu, teacher interviews and the students' initial critical thinking ability tests were analyzed as part of the preliminary research stage. The findings of the investigation demonstrated that pupils' critical thinking abilities remained weak. Additionally, students' comprehension of temperature and heat concepts was also comparatively inadequate, and schools had not fully adopted digital evaluations. Based on these findings, a digital assessment prototype was developed that was made according to Ennis's critical Based on these results, a digital assessment prototype was created using the syntax of the PBL paradigm and Ennis' critical thinking markers. This digital evaluation makes use of five PBL model syntaxes. Using Aiken's V formula, three physics lecturers evaluated the assessment prototype. The results showed that the content, language, presentation, and graphics aspects of the assessment fell into the extremely valid category. The product revision incorporates the validators' suggestions and input. The study's findings show that the digital assessment with essay questions is appropriate for use as a tool to gauge students' critical thinking abilities about heat and temperature. In order to promote the development of 21st-century abilities, this study suggests using essay-based digital evaluations in physics education.

Abstract

The Independent Curriculum (Curriculum Merdeka) is a curriculum that allows all educational units the freedom to utilize various teaching tools to improve learning outcomes. However, student learning outcomes at SMAN 2 Lubuk Sikaping are still relatively low. A possible solution to improve student learning outcomes is to use integrated scientific literacy worksheets (LKPD). The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of scientific literacy worksheets on the learning outcomes of grade XI students in Phase F at SMAN 2 Lubuk Sikaping. This study used a quasi-experimental design. It employed a posttest-only control group design. The population was all grade XI students in Phase F at SMAN 2 Lubuk Sikaping. The sampling technique used was cluster random sampling. The sample size for this study was grades XI and X in Phase E7. The experimental class used a physics worksheet containing scientific literacy, while the control class used the school-provided worksheets. The research results show that the implementation of student worksheets (LKPD) containing scientific literacy significantly improves student learning outcomes, both in terms of knowledge and skills. This is evidenced by the results of the hypothesis test or t-test conducted on student learning outcomes in two aspects: knowledge and skills. The results obtained were t-test > t-table, thus confirming and rejecting
