Abstract

The wick hydroponic system relies heavily on the wick as a medium for delivering nutrient solution to the surface of the flannel cloth used as the growing medium, and selecting a wick with good capillarity is an important factor in supporting optimal plant growth. The wick system is a hydroponic method that enables continuous distribution of nutrient solution with relatively easy maintenance and simple operation. This study aims to analyze and evaluate the capillarity characteristics of several types of wicks through measurements of resistance and absorption capability using an Arduino Nano V3, a digital multimeter, and observation sheets. The data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel for initial processing. The results show that acrylic flannel has higher capillarity and lower resistance compared to polyester flannel, making it more effective in continuously delivering nutrient solution. These findings provide a scientific basis for selecting the optimal wick material in wick hydroponic systems. Future research is recommended to examine a wider variety of wick materials and to conduct direct testing on plant growth to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of wick performance

Abstract

Improving students' cognitive abilities in understanding complex physics concepts is increasingly important in response to the demands of 21st-century education. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of the flipped classroom learning model in enhancing students' cognitive abilities on the topic of static fluids. This study employed a mixed method approach with a quasi-experimental design (pre-test and post-test), involving 69 eleventh-grade students at a public senior high school in Bandung Regency, divided into an experimental class (flipped classroom model) and a control class (Problem Based Learning model). The instrument consisted of multiple-choice questions analyzed using Microsoft Excel and IBM SPSS Statistics version 31. The results indicate a significant impact of the flipped classroom model on students' cognitive abilities, evidenced by a Cohen's d effect size of 1.64 (high category). Qualitative analysis of student worksheets (LKPD) and quiz responses revealed structured cognitive development. These findings demonstrate that the flipped classroom model is effective in improving students' cognitive abilities. Future research is recommended to combine the flipped classroom model with specific instructional media and broaden the focus toward 21st-century skills

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of Cassy Lab–based practicum activities in improving students’ understanding of temperature and heat concepts. A quantitative quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group design was applied to 30 second-semester Physics Education students at Jambi University. Data were collected using pre-test and post-test instruments adapted from the Thermal and Transport Concept Inventory (TTCI). Analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics 26 included normality, N-gain, and independent t-test. Results showed that both groups improved, but the Cassy Lab group achieved a higher N-gain. The T-test indicated a significant difference between groups. These findings suggest that Cassy Lab–based practicum is effective in enhancing conceptual understanding and serves as an innovative technology-based learning medium. Further research should explore its impact on scientific process skills, critical thinking, and motivation with broader samples

Abstract

This study investigated the Cognitive Achievement Paradox in high school physics learning under conditions where high grades are accompanied by shallow conceptual understanding. A convergent-parallel mixed-methods design involved 48 11th-grade students at a public high school in Sumbawa. Data were collected through a concept test on Heat and Temperature, structured interviews, and classroom observations. Quantitative analysis using SPSS 26 showed a class mean of 89.81 (SD = 8.74), 95.8% achieved the KKM (≥75), and Shapiro–Wilk showed non-normality (W = 0.897, p < .001). However, qualitative findings revealed an inability to contextualize thermal phenomena, a reliance on memorization, and inadequate integration of simulation media. Results confirmed that calculation-based assessment systematically overestimates true understanding, threatening construct validity and scientific literacy. A quasi-experimental study testing the Simulation-Anchored Contextual Assessment model based on PhET simulations as an embedded formative assessment tool is recommended

Abstract

This research is motivated by the problem that students tend to have difficulty understanding physics concepts. This causes students to be less enthusiastic and their understanding of the material to be low. Therefore, innovative teaching materials are needed in the form of pocketbooks based on multiple intelligences, so that students can learn according to their potential and individual learning styles. The purpose of this study is to produce a pocketbook based on multiple intelligences that is suitable for use and to determine the improvement of students' conceptual understanding at SMK Negeri 01 Belitang Madang Raya about energy and its changes. The development of this pocketbook uses the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) with a Likert scale to obtain results on the feasibility of the media and material. After the implementation was carried out in class X of SMK Negeri 01 Belitang Madang Raya, data from pre-tests and post-tests were obtained and analyzed using the N-Gain test. The average N-Gain score of 0.33% falls into the medium category, indicating an improvement in students' understanding after using the multiple intelligences-based pocketbook. Thus, it can be concluded that the development of a multiple intelligences-based pocketbook is considered feasible for use in physics learning and effective in enhancing students' conceptual understanding of energy and its changes

Abstract

This research aims to develop an innovative Augmented Reality (AR)-based Solar System learning module that is integrated with ethnoscience to improve the problem-solving skills of grade VII junior high school students. This module was developed using a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model, which incorporates AR features through the Assemblr Edu application. Expert validation by content and media specialists resulted in eligibility scores of 91.3% and 82.4%, respectively—both of which were categorized as highly feasible. During the implementation phase, trials were conducted in three stages: individual (75%), small group (82.67%), and field (89%), with student responses ranging from good to excellent. Effectiveness testing through pretest and posttest showed a significant increase in the average score from 37.83 to 79.13, achieving an N-Gain of 0.715 (high category). The integration of ethnoscience successfully provides a contextual connection between abstract astronomy concepts and the students' cultural environment, thereby increasing engagement, understanding, and problem-solving skills. The results, which show the great potential of the AR-ethnoscience module in fostering high-level thinking skills and supporting the Independent Curriculum, underlie recommendations for future research to expand its implementation to other abstract science materials, such as vibration and waves, as well as measure their impact on long-term memory, self-efficacy, and learning motivation in various school characteristics
