Abstract

This study aims to improve the creative thinking skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 17 Ambon in the subject of vibrations by using a cooperative learning model. This is a quantitative descriptive study with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population used in this study consisted of all VIII students at SMP Negeri 17, comprising three classes with a total of 97 students. Meanwhile, the research sample consisted of the students in VIII3 class, totaling 27 students. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Data in this study were obtained through test instruments, namely a pretest and a posttest, and non-test instruments, namely student worksheets (LKPD). The results of this study indicate that on the pre-test, 3 (20%) students were classified as less creative, and 24 (80%) students were classified as non-creative, with an average achievement score of 12.81 in the non-creative category. The results of student performance during the learning process showed that the average achievement score was 77.92 in the “creative” category. The results of the final ability test showed that the average achievement score of students on the final test after the learning process was 79.18 in the “creative” category. The results of the N-Gain test showed that students achieved an average score of 0.76, which is classified as high. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of the cooperative learning model to the topic of Vibrations can enhance the creative thinking skills of eighth-grade students at SMPN 17 Ambon.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze improvements in students’ cognitive abilities regarding the topic of vibrations and waves through cooperative learning aided by the PhET Simulation software. This is a quantitative study with a pre-experimental approach using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The study population consists of all eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 15 Ambon. The research sample was selected using purposive sampling, resulting in Class VIII5, consisting of 26 students. Research data were collected through test and non-test instruments. The test instruments consisted of pretests and posttests to measure students’ cognitive abilities, while the non-test instruments consisted of Student Worksheets (LKPD) used during the learning process. The data were analyzed descriptively by calculating cognitive ability scores before and after instruction, as well as the improvement using the N-Gain test. The results showed that the students’ average pretest score was 10.47, classified as failing. During the learning process, the average achievement score based on the Student Worksheets was 90.84, classified as very good. After participating in PhET-assisted cooperative learning, the average posttest score increased to 87.75, which is classified as good. The N-Gain score of 0.86 indicates that the improvement in students’ cognitive abilities falls into the high category. It is hoped that PhET-assisted cooperative learning can serve as an effective alternative teaching method to enhance students’ cognitive abilities in the subject matter of vibrations and waves.

Abstract

This study was motivated by students’ poor mastery of the concepts of momentum and impulse. The findings indicate that some students still struggle to solve physics problems and tend to memorize concepts without gaining a deep understanding of the material. This study aims to improve students’ mastery of momentum and impulse through the application of the Thinking Aloud Pair Problem Solving (TAPPS) learning model. The research design used was a quantitative descriptive study. The research population is all students of class X of Science SMA Negeri 6 Seram Bagian Timur, which totals 56 people. The research sample was 16 students of class X IPA2 SMA Negeri 6 Seram Bagian Timur. Research data were collected through a pretest, Student Worksheets (LKPD), and a posttest, and were then analyzed descriptively based on the minimum passing score (KKM) and N-Gain values. The analysis results show that students’ prior knowledge of momentum and impulse was still relatively low, with a pretest average score of 52.91. The analysis of the worksheets revealed that students had met the minimum passing score, with an average score of 83. In addition, the posttest results showed an improvement in mastery of the material, with an average score of 84.56 and an average N-Gain of 0.67, which falls into the moderate category. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that the application of the TAPPS learning model can increase the mastery of momentum and impulse materials in class X IPA2 students of SMA Negeri 6 Seram Bagian Timur.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low level of student engagement in physics classes at SMP Negeri 4 Kairatu, which has resulted in low cognitive abilities among students. Therefore, it is necessary to implement a learning model that encourages students to actively discover concepts through activities such as observing, formulating problems, gathering information, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions. One such learning model is Discovery Learning. This study aims to improve students’ cognitive abilities regarding the topic of vibrations through the application of the Discovery Learning model. The research design used is a pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The study was conducted with 26 eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 4 Kairatu. Data collection was conducted using both test and non-test methods. The test instrument consisted of 10 multiple-choice questions and 5 essay questions administered during the pretest and posttest, while the non-test instrument consisted of Student Worksheets (LKPD) used to evaluate cognitive abilities during the learning process. The research results show that on the pre-test, all students (100%) were classified as failing, with an average achievement score of 13.60. After implementing the Discovery Learning model, the students’ average achievement score on the post-test increased to 87.47, classified as good. Analysis of cognitive abilities during the learning process revealed an average score of 82.5, classified as good. Additionally, the N-Gain test results showed an average score of 0.85, which falls into the high category. Thus, it can be concluded that the implementation of the Discovery Learning model is effective in improving students’ cognitive abilities regarding the topic of vibrations in the 8th-grade class at SMP Negeri 4 Kairatu.

Abstract

This study evaluates the spatial distribution of aftershocks in the Tanimbar Islands, Indonesia, using the Coulomb Stress Change (CSC) approach following the 2023 mainshock. The region is located within an active tectonic zone resulting from the interaction of the Indo-Australian, Eurasian, and Pacific Plates, making it highly susceptible to moderate-to-large earthquakes. CSC analysis was applied to assess stress changes that influence the potential occurrence of aftershocks by examining two different faulting models. Aftershock data were collected and spatially mapped to identify the relationship between the mainshock and the distribution of subsequent seismic events. The results indicate a significant correlation between areas experiencing increased Coulomb stress and the frequency of aftershocks. Red-colored areas represent regions with positive Coulomb stress changes, indicating stress increases, whereas blue-colored areas represent regions with negative Coulomb stress changes, indicating stress decreases. The findings from both CSC methods demonstrate that the CSC approach is effective in predicting potential post-earthquake seismic activity. The resulting Coulomb stress distribution maps provide important contributions to earthquake disaster risk mitigation in the Tanimbar Islands and other similar tectonically active regions.

Abstract

Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) is a learning approach adopted by the Indonesian government to improve the quality of education in the face of global challenges, so that students can apply their knowledge in daily life while developing 21st-century skills. This approach is particularly relevant in Maluku, which possesses a wealth of local culture that serves as a learning resource. This study aims to analyze 21st-century skills and teachers’ understanding of these skills in CRT-based Physics science lesson planning that is integrated with the local wisdom of Maluku. The study employed a content analysis design on 18 Physics science instructional documents (lesson plans/teaching modules) to identify the integration of 21st-century skills, which encompass the four Cs—Communication, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Collaboration—based on 18 indicators using a 1–4 rating scale. In addition, interviews were conducted with two pre-service teachers and five teachers who received the highest scores for integrating 21st-century skills into their instructional planning documents. The research results show that all 21st-century skills analyzed are still in the “has not yet achieved competency” category with an average score of 1.01, consisting of Creativity (1.00), Critical Thinking (0.83), Communication (0.78), and Collaboration (1.44). Most teachers and prospective teachers share a relatively similar understanding of the importance of 21st-century skills and the need to integrate these skills into instruction. The main challenge they face is linking local wisdom to concepts in physics so that students can easily understand them, as well as teachers’ still limited understanding of the types of local wisdom that can be integrated into the learning process.
