Abstract

The low mathematics literacy and science skills of Indonesian students can be caused by among other, the lack of learning media that can improve students’ conceptual understanding, especially in physics. The STEM approach and the Engineering Design Process (EDP) methods can improve problem-solving and creative thinking skills. Therefore, this study aims to develop learning media with the STEM approach and the Engineering Design Process method for Physics subject, namely Circular Motion. The method used in this study is Research and Development with the ADDIE development model, which is limited to: 1) Analysis, 2) Design, 3) Development. The design and development stage involved material and learning experts to test the feasibility of the developed module. The average value of material feasibility of the module is 85.00% with the category “feasible and can be used with minor revisions.” While the average value of learning feasibility is 87.00% with the category “very feasible and can be used without revision”. The result of this study is expected to be the basis for the development of other learning media based on STEM and EDP syntax to improve students’ skills.

Abstract

Metal-Oxide Varistor (MOV) is a key component in electrical protection systems, safeguarding devices from excessive voltage surges. MOV exhibits non-linear behavior, acting as an insulator at normal voltages and a conductor at high voltages, absorbing excess energy to protect connected devices. This study employs the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method to analyze the electro-thermal characteristics of MOV, including the voltage-current relationship, resistivity changes with temperature, and temperature distribution within MOV. The FDTD method models the distribution of electric fields, magnetic fields, and temperature within MOV, which is modeled as small rectangular elements with resistivity dependent on the local electric field and temperature. Temperature distribution is calculated using the heat transfer equation, with resistivity determined based on experimental measurement data. Visualizations include graphs of the electric field and resistivity relationship at various temperatures and temperature distribution maps. Simulation results show that the Gaussian impulse current wave generates significant voltage surges and uneven temperature distribution within MOV. Above 600 K, the material's resistivity significantly decreases, allowing larger currents to flow through MOV. Temperature distribution in the form of heat maps identifies hotspots that may cause local degradation of MOV. These findings provide crucial insights for the design and analysis of overcurrent protection in electrical devices, ensuring the effectiveness of MOV in protecting devices from excessive voltage surges.

Abstract

In order to enhance students' conceptual comprehension and practical physics learning abilities, this study intends to create a practicum worksheet on magnetic induction by incorporating data logger technology. Students frequently find the physics concept of magnetic induction to be difficult and abstract. To close the gap between theory and practice, a practical approach utilizing real-time data collection tools is crucial. The ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model is the development model that was employed in this study. The needs of the students and the requirements of the curriculum were determined during the analysis phase. After that, the worksheet was created to help students with experiments involving data loggers based on Arduino that measure variations in magnetic fields brought on by induced currents. Limited trials were carried out in a classroom environment during the implementation phase, and assessments were carried out using student input and expert validation. The findings demonstrated that the worksheet was interactive, well-structured, and successful in encouraging scientific thinking while assisting students in carrying out experiments on their own. Better visualization of magnetic field variations and increased measurement accuracy were made possible by the incorporation of data logger tools. It is anticipated that this practicum worksheet will be a cutting-edge educational tool that promotes purposeful, technologically advanced physics instruction.

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.
