Abstract

This study addresses the fundamental question: How effective is PhET Interactive Simulation in enhancing high school students' conceptual understanding of projectile motion, a topic prone to misconceptions due to its two-dimensional vector analysis? Positioned within improving physics education quality through digital visualization tools, the researcher employed a quantitative pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design on n = 35 Grade XI students. Data collection used conceptual understanding tests analyzed via normality tests (Kolmogorov-Smirnov/ Shapiro-Wilk), paired sample t-test, and Normalized Gain (N-Gain). Results showed pretest mean = 43.76 (SD=12.15) increased to posttest mean =74.14 (SD = 11.72), a 69.42% gain with t = -13.581 (df = 34, Sig. = 0.000 < 0.05) rejecting H₀. N-Gain ⟨g⟩ = 0.54 (medium) distributed as 60% medium, 25.71% high (≥0.7), 14.29% low (<0.3). PhET’s real-time manipulation of launch angle (θ) and initial velocity (v₀) visualized independent horizontal-vertical motion, correcting 65-75% misconceptions via multimodal representations (trajectory, v-t graphs, constant vertical g-vectors). Conclusion: PhET Interactive Simulation proves effective for projectile motion conceptual understanding, bridging abstract formulas (R = v₀²sin2θ/g) with dynamic phenomena. Limitations: short 4-day intervention, no control group. Recommendations: teacher training, guided inquiry worksheets targeting N-Gain > 0.7.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Course Review Horay (CRH) learning model in improving students' learning outcomes on the topic of Energy and its Changes. The background of this study is the low average formative test scores for this topic, despite the fact that the basic material has been taught at the elementary and middle school levels. As a result, the CRH learning model, coupled with the learning experience through the Quiz Competition (LCC), was tested to strengthen and review the material in an interactive and engaging way. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a one-group pretest-posttest design, analyzed using SPSS version 27. The sample consists of 34 students from class 10 ULP 2 out of a total population of 120 students. Data were obtained from pretest and posttest results. Normality testing using the Shapiro-Wilk test resulted in significance values of 0.011 and 0.047 for pretest and posttest, respectively, indicating that the data were not normally distributed. Hypothesis testing was carried out using the nonparametric Wilcoxon test, with a significance value of 0.01, which is less than 0.05, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho) and the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (H1). The results indicate that the CRH learning model has a significant effect on improving students' learning outcomes. The effectiveness of the learning model is categorized as fairly effective, with an N-Gain value of 58.52%.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) learning through an energy-saving Internet of Things (IoT) project in improving students’ learning outcomes in Grade IX at MTsN 7 Cirebon. The research employed a pre-experimental design with a one group pretest–posttest design, involving 30 students as research participants. A multiple-choice test instrument was used to measure students’ conceptual understanding before and after the learning intervention. Data were analyzed descriptively and through N-gain analysis to determine the learning effectiveness. The results showed that the students’ average pretest score of 64.00 increased to 72.07 after the intervention. The mean N-gain score reached 20.24%, with a standard deviation of 17.21 and a score range from -25.00 to 46.43. According to Hake’s gain criteria, this result falls into the low category, and based on the learning effectiveness criteria, it is categorized as “ineffective.” A total of 40% of students were in the medium category, 46.7% in the low category, and 13.3% experienced decreased learning outcomes. Although the overall effectiveness is classified as low, the findings indicate that project-based STEM learning with IoT has the potential to enhance students’ conceptual understanding and learning motivation. Further improvements in instructional strategies, more intensive guidance, and technology integration adapted to students’ needs are recommended to achieve more optimal learning outcomes.
