Abstract

This study investigates the feasibility and effectiveness of differentiated instructional strategies in high school physics education through a systematic literature review. The analysis encompasses 10 recent studies (2019–2024) that explore various implementations of differentiated learning in physics lessons. Results indicate that differentiated instruction enhances academic performance, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills by tailoring lessons to diverse student needs, including multiple intelligences and learning styles. Additionally, differentiated strategies facilitate student-centered learning and foster engagement, addressing the challenges of traditional teaching methods. However, resource intensity and technological gaps present significant barriers to implementation. Findings suggest that professional development and adaptive technologies are essential to supporting teachers in overcoming these challenges. This review underscores the transformative potential of differentiated instruction to democratize learning and meet the varied needs of modern classrooms, particularly in the context of post-pandemic educational recovery. The study concludes with recommendations for integrating differentiated instructional strategies into high school physics curricula to optimize both short-term and long-term educational outcomes.

Abstract

The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) approach significantly enhances practice-based learning in vocational high schools. This study aims to analyze the working principles, performance, and average voltage of three types of rectifiers: half-wave, full-wave center-tapped, and full-wave bridge rectifiers using NI Multisim 13.0 simulation software. Through the STEM approach, students can visualize the working principles of rectifiers, analyze simulation results, and understand the performance differences between each type. The simulation results show that full-wave rectifiers produce more stable DC voltages compared to half-wave rectifiers. This study also provides graphical representations of the input and output waveforms for each type of rectifier, supporting the enhancement of students' critical thinking and technological literacy skills. These findings are expected to serve as relevant teaching materials for STEM-based learning in Vocational High School, particularly in the topic of rectifiers.

Abstract

The construction system is one of the most considered aspects in designing a ship, as the strength of the structure is the most crucial element that ensures the safety of the crew, passengers, and cargo carried. The ship's construction design must be able to withstand various loads or forces, both from inside and outside the ship. The purpose of this study is to determine the deflection of the Ferry Ro-Ro hull due to hydrostatic pressure with variations in plate thickness and seawater depth. This research uses modeling of the Ro-Ro ferry plate deflection due to seawater hydrostatic pressure with the finite difference method. The simulation results show that increasing the plate thickness from 10.0 mm, 15.0 mm, 20.0 mm to 25.0 mm significantly reduces the hull deflection, with the maximum deflection from about 2400 mm decreasing to less than 500 mm. In addition, the water depth also affected the deflection, where an increase in depth from 5 m, 10 m, and 15 m, caused the maximum deflection to increase from about 150 mm to 450 mm. The deflection pattern is parabolic with the maximum deflection occurring at the center of the ship, as the largest hydrostatic pressure distribution is at the center of the ship.

Abstract

Amplitude Modulation (AM) is a fundamental concept in analog communication systems and a core topic in vocational electronics education. However, many students struggle to grasp the abstract nature of AM theory when taught through conventional methods. This article presents the development of an innovative instructional model based on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) to support students’ understanding of amplitude modulation through hands-on activities. The learning model guides students in constructing and analyzing AM circuits using basic electronic components and simulation tools. The design process emphasizes inquiry, collaboration, and experimentation, enabling students to explore AM signal behavior in practical contexts. The instructional materials include project worksheets, simulation tasks, and performance-based assessment rubrics. This model aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice, foster technical competencies, and enhance student engagement in vocational high schools. The proposed design is ready for further implementation and validation in real classroom environments.

Abstract

This study explores the influence of study time, parental support, extracurricular activities, age, and participation in tutoring activities on students' Grade Point Average (GPA) achievement. Results show that parental support, in the form of motivation and learning facilities, has a significant influence on improving GPA, while extracurricular activities contribute to the development of learning skills and enthusiasm. Age did not show a direct relationship with GPA achievement, although 16-year-old students tended to have better results. In addition, participation in tutoring activities was shown to have a positive impact through additional study time and deepening of material. This study highlights the importance of synergy between time management, family support, and educational support programs in optimizing student learning outcomes.
