Abstract

This research intends to examine how Problem-Based Learning (PBL)-based e-modules influence students' problem-solving skills regarding heat and heat transfer concepts. The study was driven by the inadequate problem-solving abilities noted in students at SMAN 2 Koto XI Tarusan, mainly because of the prevalence of expository teaching techniques and the constraints of traditional learning resources. A quantitative method utilizing a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design was utilized. The sample comprised 60 Grade XI students split into two groups: one group utilized PBL-based e-modules, whereas the other group employed traditional materials. Data were gathered through pretests and posttests consisting of essay questions. The Mann-Whitney U test was utilized because the data did not follow a normal distribution. Findings showed a notable difference in problem-solving skills between the two groups. The experimental group demonstrated a significant rise in the average score of the posttest (77.10) in contrast to the pretest (40.03), whereas the control group saw a slight increase from 44.00 to 58.07. Enhancements were noted in all problem-solving metrics. Analysis of data using the Mann-Whitney test indicated a statistically significant difference in problem-solving abilities between the experimental group and the control group. The findings from the Mann-Whitney test showed a significance level of <0.05, thereby underscoring a significant impact of the use of project-based learning (PBL) e-modules on improving students' problem-solving skills specifically concerning heat and thermal transfer. This methodological framework has demonstrated success in tackling current challenges, aligning with the requirements of 21st-century skills and the implementation of the Independent Curriculum.

Abstract

In the current era of the 21st century, rapid technological progress and the increasing complexity of life demand students to develop critical thinking, creativity, and independent problem-solving skills. Preliminary findings at SMA Negeri 1 Bonjol revealed that students still exhibit low proficiency in solving physics problems. As a solution, this study developed an Electronic Student Worksheet (LKPD) using a STEM-integrated PBL model focused on the topic of heat, aimed at enhancing students' problem-solving abilities. Employing a development and design research approach based on the Plomp model, this study aimed to design and assess the validity and practicality of the LKPD product. The results indicate that the LKPD can be effectively integrated into STEM learning, is suitable for classroom implementation, and achieved a validity score of 0.95, categorized as very valid. Practicality testing also yielded very high results, with scores of 86.41% in the one-on-one stage and 87.79% in the small group stage. Thus, the STEM-integrated PBL-based Electronic LKPD on heat material has been proven to be both valid and practical in improving students' problem-solving skills.

Abstract

Education in the 21st century requires students to have the ability to adapt, think critically, and creatively, which is in line with the direction of the Merdeka Curriculum which emphasizes mastery of essential competencies and the formation of the Pancasila Student Profile. However, preliminary findings at SMAN 1 Lembah Gumanti indicate that there are still various obstacles in the physics learning process, especially on sound waves. These obstacles include the low use of technology-based teaching materials such as e-modules, not optimal application of ethnoscience and meaningful learning approaches, and the lack of creative thinking skills and conceptual understanding of students. Through a descriptive statistical approach, this study maps the factual conditions of learning in the school. The results of the analysis showed that the teaching materials used were still dominated by printed versions that were less attractive and did not support the development of 21st century skills. The average score of students' knowledge reached 64.9%, while creative thinking skills were still relatively low with an average score of 50.8%. On the other hand, teachers have not fully integrated local cultural values through the ethnoscience approach or optimally applied the meaningful learning approach in the learning process. These facts emphasize the need for learning innovation through the development of physics e-modules integrated with ethnoscience and meaningful learning approaches to improve learning quality.

Abstract

The development of 21st-century technology demands more interactive and student-centered learning. However, preliminary studies at SMAN 2 Painan showed that students' critical thinking skills on heat were still low. This was due to the teacher-centered learning style, which resulted in students being less active, and the media used did not support exploration and discovery of concepts. To address these issues, this study developed an interactive, inquiry-based learning media supported by Google Sites. The development process followed the Dick and Carey model, with expert validation and practicality testing on 30 students and 3 Physics teachers. The validation results showed a Cohen's Kappa value of 0.96 (very valid), while the practicality test produced a value of 0.88 (very practical). These findings suggest that Google Sites can be an effective alternative to support inquiry-based learning and improve students' critical thinking skills. Consequently, this media can be used as an adaptive and accessible digital learning innovation. However, this study was limited to a small sample size, focused on only one topic, and did not examine the long-term impact of media use.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and validate a comprehensive electronic assessment package to measure students' creative thinking abilities on the topic of Newton’s Laws. While creative thinking abilities are important to foster creativity, as one of 21st century skills, physics assessments often do not specifically measure this ability. This research addresses that gap by designing a complete and modern assessment system that uniquely integrates diagnostic, formative, and summative instruments into a single package. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method, adapting the Plomp model with a focus on the preliminary and prototyping stages. The feasibility of the product was tested through content validation by three experts, with the data analyzed using the Aiken's V index. The results show that all three instruments (diagnostic, formative, and summative), achieved a high validity category. In conclusion, the developed electronic assessment package is a valid and feasible instrument for comprehensively assessing creative thinking abilities in physics

Abstract

Assessment of students’ critical thinking abilities is a crucial component of 21st-century learning. This study aims to design an electronic assessment instrument to evaluate students’ critical thinking skills in the topic of static fluid using a summative assessment approach. The instrument consists of twenty multiple-choice questions developed based on Ennis’s critical thinking indicators. The research employed the Plomp model, which includes three stages: preliminary research, prototyping, and assessment development. Validation by three experts indicated a high level of validity (Aiken’s V = 0.83), while the practicality test showed positive responses from both students (83.9) and teachers (88.4). The reliability coefficient was 0.75 (high category), with items categorized as easy to moderate in difficulty and adequate in discrimination power (0.36). This study contributes by providing a digital-based assessment tool that supports the measurement of higher-order thinking in physics education. However, the study was limited by a small sample size and testing conducted only on static fluid material. Future research is recommended to expand the sample and apply the instrument across different physics topics to enhance its generalizability.

Abstract

21st-century education demands adaptive, critical, and innovative students, in line with the Independent Curriculum, which emphasizes essential competencies and the Pancasila Student Profile. However, preliminary learning at SMAN 1 2X11 Enam Lingkung revealed several obstacles in physics learning. The use of information and communication technology (ICT) in electronic Student Worksheets (E-SWS) is still low, students have difficulty understanding measurement material, low interest in reading discourse questions, and students' creative thinking skills are relatively low. This study uses descriptive statistical analysis to describe, summarize, and present data without generalization. The focus of the analysis includes frequency distribution, measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode), and measures of dispersion (range, standard deviation). The results of the analysis show that the current SWS is less attractive, is still in printed form, and does not facilitate the development of students' knowledge and creative thinking. Teacher questionnaires also indicate that they have not used electronic SWS and have not integrated ethnoscience and fun learning. Furthermore, the problem regarding the analysis of the context of SWS in real conditions with ideal conditions with an average score of 40% which is still in the low category, students' understanding of the measurement material is very low, with an average score of only 34.16%. Analysis of 31 students shows an average score of the knowledge aspect of 66.1% (mode 55, median 70, distance 100), and the creative thinking ability aspect of 55.6% (mode 50, median 55, distance 35). These data indicate that the level of knowledge and creative thinking ability of students is still low. This finding emphasizes the urgency of learning innovation to achieve the goals of the Independent Curriculum.

Abstract

The 21st century demands strong critical thinking, a skill often lacking in Indonesian 10th-grade physics students despite curriculum reforms. Current teaching methods and materials often fall short, failing to adequately engage students and foster these crucial higher-order thinking skills. To bridge this gap, a research project focused on creating and validating an innovative Artificial Intelligence (AI)-integrated e-module, specifically designed for renewable energy topics using a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model. The goal was to boost high school students' critical thinking. Utilizing the Analysis, Design, and Development (ADDIE) model, the initial phases—analysis, design, and development—were completed, culminating in expert validation. The development process began with a needs analysis at Padang Public Senior High School 4 and a thorough literature review. The design phase involved crafting learning objectives, activities, and an interactive e-module prototype, incorporating AI functionalities and PBL syntax. The e-module was then built using WordPress. Self-evaluation and rigorous validity testing followed, conducted by three expert Physics Lecturers from Universitas Negeri Padang. A "practical guide to develop e-modules" adapted instrument assessed six indicators: material substance, visual communication, software utilization, learning design, PBL model, and AI integration. Data analysis used Cohen's Kappa formula. Validation results confirmed the e-module's high feasibility and quality across all aspects. Scores were consistently high: Material Substance (0.83, very valid), Visual Communication (0.97, very valid), Software Utilization (1.00, very valid), Learning Design (0.92, very valid), Problem-Based Learning Model (0.91, very valid), and AI Integration (0.91, very valid). This demonstrates the e-module's scientific accuracy, engaging design, robust functionality, and effective pedagogical approach. This research successfully validated the AI-integrated e-module with a PBL model as a highly promising teaching material for enhancing critical thinking in renewable energy education.
