Abstract

Ondel-ondel is one of the well-known local cultures from Jakarta. However, the role of ondel-ondel is not only in switching ceremonies and rituals but can be used as learning media. In addition to local cultural problems that are still not optimal in learning, the learning process must be carried out meaningfully. So, this study aims to analyze ondel-ondel culture from the point of view of Physics (especially on rigid body equilibrium material) and to implement it as learning media in Physics learning to achieve meaningful learning. This research is a mixed method research. Based on the results and discussion obtained, ondel-ondel has many physics concepts. In ondel-ondel, rigid body equilibrium is of special concern because equilibrium is the main focus so that the ondel-ondel remains stable when played without falling. In ondel-ondel culture, the concept of circular motion and heat also applies. The second conclusion obtained from this study is that the implementation of ondel-ondel as a learning medium is proven to realize meaningful learning for students. Achieving meaningful learning through implementing an ondel-ondel as learning media has very good criteria.

Abstract

Geothermal is a renewable energy strategically developed in Indonesia, but its utilization has not been maximized. Geothermal exploration requires high costs, so estimating energy reserves in potential areas is essential. This study was conducted to determine the electrical energy potential of geothermal area "Z" by volumetric method and determine the influence of saturation, porosity, and length of generation time on the potential of geothermal electrical energy. The volumetric method used is the lumped parameter model. The calculation was carried out with variations in water saturation 0% - 80%, rock porosity 10% - 40%, and the length of generation time 25 - 40 years. The highest estimated electrical energy of geothermal area "Z" is 188 MWe obtained at 80% water saturation, 10% porosity, and 25 years generation duration, while the lowest is 80 MWe obtained with 0% water saturation, 40% porosity, and 40 years of generation duration. At the same porosity, the greater the water saturation, the greater the value of geothermal electricity reserves of the area "Z." The greater the porosity, the greater the effect of increasing water saturation on increasing electrical energy reserves. The large porosity of rocks causes their energy to be smaller since the heat dominance of geothermal regions "Z" is given by the heat of rocks. The length of generation time affects the amount of geothermal electrical energy, that is, the longer the production time, the smaller the reserve.

Abstract

One of the biopesticides is derived from The Neem Tree (Azadirachta indica), which has been widely used in India for centuries. The purposes of this study are to examine the historical use of neem trees as biopesticides in ancient India, the adoption and integration of neem tree-based biopesticides in Indonesian agriculture, the cultural and historical context of neem tree use, and the impact of neem tree-based biopesticides on sustainable agriculture. The research design for this study is an ethnographic approach, which involves the systematic observation, documentation, and analysis of the cultural practices and beliefs related to using neem trees as biopesticides. The findings of this study demonstrate that the Neem tree has been widely described as a biopesticide used to control pests in agriculture in ancient Indian literature, such as the Rigveda and Atharvaveda. The neem tree held cultural and spiritual significance in ancient Indian society, associated with deities and religious beliefs. Historical connections between India and Indonesia facilitated the spread of neem tree-based biopesticides to Indonesia, where they were adopted and integrated into traditional agricultural practices. Indonesian farmers embraced neem tree-based biopesticides and recognized their efficacy in pest control, contributing to sustainable agricultural practices.

Abstract

Students poorly understand the magnetic field material concept due to difficulties visualizing it. So, it takes a skill that can support the ability to visualize magnetic field material to practice these skills requires the right strategy and learning media. Therefore, this study aims to develop and determine the feasibility and response of students to the acceptance of Visual Thinking Strategy in Augmented Reality (ViTSAR)  learning media technology to facilitate visual literacy skills on magnetic field material. The research method used is Research and Development  (R&  D) with a  4-D development model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate). Through due diligence conducted by material experts, the average value of all aspects was 6.7 with feasible criteria, and media experts obtained an average value of 6.81 with feasible criteria. In contrast, the trial was limited to 15 3rd-semester students of  Physics Education at Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University, who responded well to technology acceptance with an overall average assessment result of 6.36. These results show that ViTSAR learning media on magnetic field material can be used as a learning supplement in introductory Physics II lectures on magnetic field material.

Abstract

The peak of the rainy season in 2022/2023 has caused many disasters, especially landslides in Indonesia, which have claimed many victims and caused damage to settlements and infrastructure. Various geophysical methods have been widely applied to identify slip fields. In addition, geophysical methods are used to determine the type and characteristics of landslides. The slip field has a lithology of 2 subsurface layers of soil or contrasting rocks, namely soft and hard soil layers. Therefore, one of the geophysical methods that is effective in identifying slip planes is the geoelectric method because of the stark contrast in resistivity in the two soil layers. This article will review research that uses geoelectric data to survey landslide potential in the last ten years. In addition, this article also reviews the latest research related to geoelectricity, namely Time-Lapse Electrical Resistivity Tomography (TL-ERT), starting from studies that have used this method and the potential and direction of using this method in the future.

Abstract

Problem Solving Skills (PSS) are essential skills in life because they help students find creative and innovative solutions to various complex problems. Apart from that, global warming is one of the physics materials studied in Phase E of the Independent Curriculum. Through learning with the Interactive Digital Physics Module (IDMP), students can learn scientific principles and concepts to solve problems. However, so far physics learning has focused more on physics products, while aspects of scientific processes and attitudes that should be trained are often neglected. The aim of this research is the development of an interactive digital physics module (IDMP) on the concept of global warming to improve students' problem solving skills. This research method uses the ADDIE model with a total sample of 37 consisting of 10 males and 27 females regarding the problem solving skills of students in one of the schools in Banten Province, Indonesia. The results of the research show that the characteristics of the IDMP on the concept of global warming for student learning and the Problem Solving Skills test consisting of 4 indicators Clearly defining the problem increased by 0.71, Developing a plan of action increased by 0.72, the effectively implementing the plan indicator increased by 0.63 and the valuing indicator and reflecting on the outcome increased by 0.65 category. The average N-gain result of these four indicators is 0.69, meaning that students' problem solving skills have increased in the moderate category.

Abstract

This research discusses the limited tools and rare temperature and heat experiments in high schools in Depok, which hinder students’ mastery of concepts and higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). This study proposes a virtual laboratory with VBA Excel that utilizes existing computer lab facilities and provides an effective and efficient way to learn physics1. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model. Media and material experts validate the product, then tested by teachers and students using a tiered rating scale. The feasibility test scores from media experts are 93.61%, material experts 86.25%, and teacher responses 94.07%, with a very good interpretation. Furthermore, user trials were conducted with students, where one-on-one trials obtained a score of 90%, small group trials resulted in a score of 81.6% and field trials with a score of 81.48%. Based on the N-gain calculation, scores of 0.67 for small groups and 0.63 for field trials were obtained with moderate interpretation seen from the results of the pre-test and post-test scores calculation. Thus, it can be concluded that the virtual laboratory with VBA Excel on temperature and heat material can improve concept understanding and meet students' needs in higher-order thinking skills (HOTS).
