Abstract

This study aims to find out more about the influence of motivation from people closest to them on the formation of physics identity, especially for local students (living in D.I. Yogyakarta) and non-local (from outside D.I. Yogyakarta), on the results of analytical mechanics courses. This qualitative descriptive study uses a descriptive-analytical approach based on the results of interviews with 8 sample respondents representing local students (living in D.I. Yogyakarta) and non-local (coming from outside D.I. Yogyakarta) in the Physics Education Department, Yogyakarta State University. All respondents have been able to describe their physics identity, accompanied by strong motivation from people closest to them, including themselves, without any differences between local and non-local students regarding the final results of analytical mechanics. After knowing the results of this study, it is hoped that students can further develop their physics identity so that it has an impact on the final grades of the courses they take.

Abstract

The low literacy rate and lack of question discussion in schools were the driving forces behind this research. Those problems caused students to have difficulty in understanding the material on Hooke's Law and elasticity. The researchers developed the Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM) literacy instrument as a learning resource to address this issue. The study aims to find out: (1) how the AKM instrument for students' scientific literacy was made and (2) how excellent it works, how challenging the questions are, how valid it is, and how reliable it is for students' scientific literacy on Hooke's Law and Elasticity at the senior high school level. This R&D method reseach used the Tessmer model. The research instruments consisted of question grid sheets and question validation sheets. This study produced two question packages (A and B), each consisting of twelve questions. The researchers examined the AKM instrument for scientific literacy on 24 students from MAN 1 Model Banda Aceh. The feasibility results show that the AKM instrument has met the very feasible category. The validation results from material experts yielded a percentage of 92.44%, while language experts reported a percentage of 85.83%. The trial results show the discriminating ability of AKM Instrument packages A and B in the excellent and outstanding categories. Package A displays reliability results of 0.791, while package B of 0.805. The AKM instrument for scientific literacy based on Hooke's Law and elasticity can be used as a supporting learning resource in or outside of learning activities.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between self-awareness and self-esteem with students' physics learning outcomes. Employing a quantitative correlational approach, the research was conducted at MAN 3 Bantul, Yogyakarta, during the 2023/2024 academic year, involving 93 students from class XI MIPA through a saturated sampling technique. Data collection utilized self-awareness and self-esteem scales, documentation, and interviews. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation tests, preceded by normality testing. The findings indicate a significant positive correlation between self-awareness and physics learning outcomes (r = 0.387, p = 0.000), suggesting that students with higher self-awareness tend to achieve better results, although the correlation strength is categorized as low. Similarly, self-esteem also shows a significant positive relationship with physics learning outcomes (r = 0.396, p = 0.000), indicating that increased self-esteem is associated with improved academic performance in physics. Despite the relatively low correlation values, both psychological variables contribute meaningfully to students' achievement. The study concludes that fostering self-awareness and self-esteem in the learning process is essential for enhancing students' academic success, particularly in physics education.

Abstract

Jumping out of the water is one of the phenomena of aquatic animals. Analyzing the motions and routines of aquatic animals is a time-consuming process and tends to be subjective, prone to errors due to observer fatigue. In investigating the motion of objects is a difficult thought, but with the development of technology it becomes easy, one of them is by using the Tracker. This research aims to analyze the Gourami jumping motion using the Tracker in independent experiment activities about animal motion. The materials and tools needed include Gourami fish, Android camera, and Tracker application. The measurement results are the data on time, position, and the graph of motion. Gourami jumping motion is a parabolic motion consisting of uniform linear motion on the x-axis, while uniformly accelerated linear motion on the y-axis. The value of the gravitational acceleration can be determined from the graph and its value is close to the gravitational acceleration constant. The use of video analysis of the Gourami motion using the Tracker can be used in science learning, especially in physics experiment.

Abstract

This research aims to develop a practicum tool for Regular Straight Motion (RSM) based on the Phyphox application as an innovation in physics learning that is more interactive and accurate. The research method uses an experimental approach, where the Phyphox application is utilized to record time and distance data automatically, replacing manual methods that often face accuracy problems due to human error. The research successfully demonstrated that the use of the Phyphox application can increase measurement accuracy to 95% and reduce the human error rate by 30%. It also enables real-time data visualization, which not only facilitates the analysis of relationships between variables but also helps students better understand physics concepts. In addition, the app enriches students' learning experience by increasing their motivation and engagement, and supports the mastery of 21st century skills such as data analysis and use of technology. The development of Phyphox-based tools is expected to be a strategic step to modernize physics learning, prepare students to face global challenges, and make a real contribution in improving the quality of physics education in the digital era. This shows that technology has great potential in transforming education, especially in improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the teaching and learning process.

Abstract

This study examines the role of the philosophy of time in physics education, with particular focus on its implications for teaching relativity and quantum mechanics. Time is a fundamental yet perplexing concept in both theories, often posing challenges for educators and learners due to its abstract and counterintuitive nature. To address this, the research explores how philosophical perspectives on time can inform and improve teaching practices. A qualitative approach was employed, consisting of a systematic literature review of both philosophy of physics and physics education research, combined with a textual and pedagogical analysis of existing teaching strategies used in relativity and quantum mechanics instruction. Sources included peer-reviewed journals, educational frameworks, and documented classroom practices. Data were organized and coded using NVivo software to identify recurring themes in how philosophical engagement with time has been integrated into teaching. The findings indicate that incorporating structured philosophical discussions—such as debates on the nature of simultaneity or the problem of temporal measurement in quantum mechanics—can clarify conceptual paradoxes and provide students with alternative interpretive frameworks. Evidence of improved comprehension was drawn from reported student reflections, documented learning outcomes, and thematic patterns in prior classroom-based studies, rather than self-reported claims alone. Furthermore, the integration of philosophy was shown to foster critical thinking, operationalized here as students’ ability to question assumptions, articulate multiple interpretations, and resolve conceptual tensions in physics discourse. The study concludes that systematically embedding the philosophy of time into the physics curriculum can significantly enhance comprehension of relativistic and quantum principles, refine teaching methodologies, and cultivate a more reflective and critical learning environment.
