Abstract

The ability to design research proposals is an important academic competency for Physics Education students because it reflects their ability to transform learning problems into scientific research designs. This study aims to analyze the ability of sixth-semester students in the Physics Education Program to design physics education research proposals for the 2025/2026 academic year. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with four students selected through purposive sampling as participants. Data were collected through the analysis of draft proposal documents, semi-structured interviews, and observations of the academic consultation process. Data analysis utilized the interactive model by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, which includes data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the students’ abilities generally fall into the “adequate” category. Students were relatively capable of determining themes and titles relevant to physics learning but still experienced difficulties in identifying research gaps, formulating novelty, synthesizing theory, selecting research designs, developing instruments, and determining data analysis techniques. These findings underscore the need to strengthen the research methodology course through mini-research projects, journal reviews, proposal clinics, and guidance on instrument development.

Abstract

This study aims to: (1) develop a science module based on a scientific approach integrated with the surrounding environment for Grade XI elementary school students; (2) test the feasibility of the developed module based on the assessment of material experts, media experts, and educational practitioners; and (3) test the effectiveness of the module in improving students' scientific attitudes. This research is a Research and Development (R&D) study using the 4-D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate) developed by Thiagarajan. The trial subjects were 32 Grade XI students at . Research instruments included expert validation sheets, student response questionnaires, and scientific attitude scales. Validation results indicate that the module meets the very feasible category with an average validation score from the material expert of 4.52 (very good), media expert of 4.38 (very good), and practitioner of 4.61 (very good). The effectiveness test results showed an improvement in students' scientific attitudes with an average N-Gain of 0.71 (high category). Conclusion: the science module based on a scientific approach integrated with the surrounding environment is feasible and effective for improving the scientific attitudes of Grade XI elementary school students.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low understanding of students at SMP Negeri 4 Tondano regarding Simple Machines material. This occurs because the learning process is still teacher-centered and the use of visual media that can help students understand concepts concretely is minimal. In fact, most students are already accustomed to using YouTube as a learning resource, but its utilization in physics learning has not been optimal. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Guided Inquiry model combined with YouTube media in improving students' learning outcomes on the Simple Machines material. The research uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experiment method and a One Group Pretest-Posttest design. The research sample consists of 28 eighth-grade students selected using a random sampling technique. The research instrument was a multi The research results showed a significant increase in the students' average scores, from 37.64 in the pretest to 79.64 in the posttest. Analysis using N-Gain produced a score of 0.65, which falls into the medium category. Thirteen students were in the high category, 13 students in the medium category, and 2 students in the low category. These findings indicate that the Guided Inquiry model assisted by YouTube media is effective in improving conceptual understanding and supporting physics learning based on the Merdeka Curriculum.

Abstract

This research stems from the fact that learning has not yet been able to accommodate theory with real-life facts. Nowadays, students focus on AI media that instantly provide answers. AI media cannot be fully relied upon because it cannot distinguish between opinion and fact. Newton's theory is a concept closely tied to nature and everyday activities, so there needs to be a solution for this material. The PhBL model is a learning model connected to daily life and is very suitable to be applied. The research method used is Mixed Method with a content analysis approach. The sample in this research is third-semester students taking the Mechanics course. The connection between the PhBL model and Newton's theory is very close and directly related to real-life facts. The PhBL model syntax involves 6 steps: phenomenon orientation, formulating questions, organizing in learning, investigation, analysis and synthesis, and presenting results.These 6 steps are integrated into Newton's theory to become a complete concept. Students are interested in learning Newton's Theory with the PhBL model.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low critical thinking skills of students in Physics in grade XI 2 students of SMA Negeri 3 Padangsidimpuan. This low critical thinking skills are evident in their lack of active participation in the learning process and their low learning outcomes, which have not yet reached the Learning Objective Achievement Criteria (KKTP). This study aims to determine the inquiry learning model to improve students' critical thinking skills in static fluids in grade XI 2 students of SMA Negeri 3 Padangsidimpuan. The type of research used is Classroom Action Research (CAR) with the Kurt Lewin model, which consists of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The study was conducted in two cycles with 33 students as subjects. Data collection techniques used teacher and student observations (cycle I meeting 1 (teacher 73% and student 54%), cycle I meeting 2 (teacher 80% and student 64%), cycle II meeting 1 (teacher 86% and student 74%) and cycle II meeting 2 (teacher 100% and student 80%). and student critical thinking skills tests cycle I meeting 1 (average score 68.7 and completeness 39%), cycle I meeting 2 (average score 73.2 and completeness 42%), cycle II meeting 1 (average score 78.1 and completeness 60%) and cycle II meeting 2 (average score 83.6 and completeness 78%), until reaching 78% in cycle II. Thus, the application of the Inquiry Learning learning model is effective in improving students' critical thinking skills on static fluid material in class XI 2 SMA Negeri 3 Padangsidimpuan.

Abstract

The background of this study was the low level of students’ learning creativity in Physics, particularly on the topic of Electromagnetic Waves, in Class XI-1 of SMA Negeri 2 Tukka. This condition was caused by the learning process being predominantly teacher-centered through the lecture method, resulting in students being less active in asking questions, expressing opinions, and participating in classroom activities. This study aimed to determine the improvement of students’ learning creativity after the implementation of the Everyone Is A Teacher Here (ETH) learning strategy on the topic of Electromagnetic Waves in Class XI-1 of SMA Negeri 2 Tukka. This study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR), which was conducted in two cycles, with each cycle consisting of two meetings. Each cycle included four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The subjects of this study were 29 students of Class XI-1 at SMA Negeri 2 Tukka in the 2025/2026 academic year. The results of the study showed that the percentage of students’ learning creativity achievement increased from the pre-cycle to Cycle II. In the pre-cycle stage, 10 out of 29 students achieved mastery learning with a percentage of 34.48%. In Cycle I Meeting I, 12 students achieved mastery learning with a percentage of 43%, which increased to 15 students with a percentage of 52% in Cycle I Meeting II. Furthermore, in Cycle II Meeting I, 18 students achieved mastery learning with a percentage of 62%, and this increased to 24 students with a mastery percentage of 83% in Cycle II Meeting II. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the implementation of the Everyone Is A Teacher Here (ETH) learning strategy on the topic of Electromagnetic Waves was eff
