Static electricity, being an abstract topic, often presents difficulties and gives rise to student misconceptions. PhET Interactive Simulations serve as a digital learning medium that enables the interactive visualization of electrical phenomena, thereby allowing students to explore concepts and conduct virtual experiments. This study conducted a systematic literature review to examine the integration of PhET in static electricity instruction and its impact on developing students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills. A literature search was performed across Google Scholar, ERIC, and ScienceDirect for publications spanning 2015–2025, resulting in 21 selected articles for qualitative analysis. The findings indicate that the utilization of PhET enhances conceptual understanding of static electricity, critical thinking abilities, problem-solving skills, and student engagement in learning. The interactive visualizations within PhET correlate with improvements in the critical thinking dimensions of analysis, evaluation, and inference, as well as the problem-solving stages of understanding the problem, devising strategies, and evaluating solutions. These findings confirm that PhET Interactive Simulations can serve as an effective alternative learning medium to support the development of higher-order thinking skills in abstract physics topics.

Abstract

Physics learning ideally emphasizes direct experience through practicum activities, yet its implementation often faces constraints related to facilities, time, equipment, and laboratory access. These limitations may affect conceptual understanding and learning outcomes and may also increase students’ anxiety when they face abstract concepts or real laboratory procedures. This study aims to analyze the role of virtual laboratories in reducing students’ anxiety in physics learning through a descriptive qualitative literature review. Data were collected from eight relevant open-access journal articles published between 2014 and 2023 and obtained from Google Scholar, GARUDA, and university journal portals. The articles were reviewed based on their focus, education level, method, and main findings. The analysis focused on problems in physics learning, the effectiveness of virtual laboratories, and their potential contribution to reducing learning anxiety. The findings indicate that virtual laboratories, particularly PhET-based simulations, support conceptual understanding, learning outcomes, motivation, learning experience, and higher-order thinking skills. Virtual laboratories also provide a safer, more flexible, and repeatable learning environment, which may indirectly reduce anxiety by increasing self-confidence and engagement. However, direct empirical evidence on anxiety reduction remains limited, so further experimental studies are needed.

Abstract

The batik industry is an important sector in the Indonesian economy and culture, employing a large workforce in informal positions. However, unergonomic work postures, long working hours, and inappropriate tools are the main causes of the high incidence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in batik industry workers. This study emphasizes the importance of systematically applying ergonomic principles to improve the health and productivity of batik artisans in Indonesia. This study contributes by comparing the effectiveness of various ergonomic methods in the specific context of the traditional batik industry, which has not previously been systematically discussed, and by evaluating the ergonomic interventions that have been implemented. The method used was a PRISMA-based Systematic Literature Review, which included searching, selection, bibliometric analysis, and qualitative discussion. After being filtered, 19 articles were further analyzed. The study results show that ergonomic methods such as NBM, REBA, and RULA are the most widely used to evaluate work posture and the risk of MSDs. Key findings indicate that the most common complaints occur in the neck, shoulders, back, and wrists. The most effective interventions include improving work equipment according to anthropometry, work posture education, task rotation, and implementing active rest.
