The Impact of Google Forms-Assisted Discovery Learning Model on High School Students' Capacity for Creative Thought in Physics Classes

2024-01-12T16:03:25+07:00

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of using the Google Forms-assisted discovery learning approach on high school students' capacity for original thought during physics classes. (differing from other research) This study used a non-equivalent control group design and a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design. Students from classes X MIPA 1 and X MIPA 2 served as the experimental and control groups, respectively, for this study, which was carried out at SMAN 16 Bandar Lampung. Essay questions were used as a test instrument to gather data. The independent sample t-test, with a significance level of 0.05, was the statistical test that was employed. The findings of the hypothesis test showed that the sig value was less than 0.05 (i.e., 0.018 < 0.05), supporting the H1 hypothesis and showing a significant difference in the creative thinking skills of the control class and the class that used the Google Form-assisted discovery learning paradigm. Thus, it can be said that utilizing the Google Form-assisted discovery learning methodology improves students' capacity for original thought in physics classes.

This study is an evolution of joint research on the Indonesian educational system during the pandemic, when students need to be able to use interactive technology to enhance teaching and learning activities in the classroom. The goal of this study is to create and execute collaborative learning that culminates in a model and paper that are used in the 12th grade at SMA Bina Dharma. This study combines descriptive research with interviewing professors of relevant courses including history, geography, physics, and sociology. The findings of this study include the development of a model for physics talks on the construction of electrical installations in the model, geography, on the shapes of buildings in developed and developing countries, sociology on social inequality in developed and developing countries in the form of a paper, and history discussing technological advancements in developed and developing countries. The research results with collaborative learning showed that 89 percent of students were able to create electrical installations in developed countries, specifically Japan, and 100 percent of students were able to create posters depicting the form of electricity in developed and developing countries. In conclusion, students can understand collaborative learning and comprehend the concept of electrical installation

Development of Physics Learning Media Based on Mobile Learning Assisted by Smart Apps Creator on Students ' Ability to Understand Concepts in Dynamic Fluid Material Class XI

2024-02-27T16:45:59+07:00

Smart Apps Creator or commonly abbreviated as SAC is an application used to create learning media or similar based on Android or iOS without using programming code. This SAC can save applications in HTML5 and EXE formats which can be used on various devices such as laptops, computers and gadgets. SAC can be used as an alternative method for online learning because it does not require an internet quota for online learning. The research subjects were class XI high school students with 12 students from different schools. This research aims to test the effectiveness of mobile learning-based physics learning media with the help of Smart Apps Creator in increasing students' understanding of dynamic fluid material. The instruments used are questionnaires and tests. This research uses a type of research and development known as Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE development model which consists of 5 (five) stages, namely Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation. The results of material assessment by material experts obtained an average result of 80%, material assessment by media experts obtained an average result of 80%. The average percentage result of the posttest carried out by students was 94.7% so it can be concluded that students understand the concept of dynamic fluid material using the Smart App Creator.

Implementation of Matrix Determinant Teaching Module in Two-Loop Closed Electrical Circuit to Improve High School Students' Physics Learning Outcomes

2023-11-15T14:33:17+07:00

The closed two-loop electrical circuit teaching module in schools is incomplete, the language is difficult to understand, the display is not attractive, and uses substitution-elimination with long stages. This study aims to improve the physics learning outcomes of high school students, as well as to determine the responses of teachers and students through a teaching module containing the matrix determinant method. This experimental research is in the form of a quantitative descriptive approach and a One Group Pretest-Posttest design. The research sample was 36 students of XII MIPA 4 and 3 physics teachers of SMAN 2 Jember. Data analysis used the N-Gain test (score) and response (percentage). The results showed that the implementation of the teaching module improved student learning outcomes with an N-Gain score of 0.82 in the high category. The teaching module received a positive response with a percentage of 93.06% from teachers and 88.39% from students in the very positive category. Thus, the implementation of the matrix determinant teaching module in a closed two-loop electrical circuit can improve the physics learning outcomes of high school students and receive a very positive response from physics teachers and students.

Results and Analysis of Ohm's Law Experiment Simply Using Series Resistor Circuits

2023-11-26T18:56:06+07:00

Ohm's law is a basic principle in electronics that describes the relationship between voltage, current strength, and resistance in an electrical circuit. This practicum aims to determine the characteristics of resistors and their uses in electrical circuits, determine the resistance value of resistors through color bands on resistors, understand the use of Ohm's law in resistor circuits, and show the relationship of voltage and current strength to the amount of resistance in each circuit. This type of research is laboratory experimental research using an experimental research design. By completing this practicum, students are expected to have a deeper understanding of the concept of Ohm's law in electrical circuits.

Analysis of Physics Laboratory Standardization to Support Physics Learning at SMAN 2 Lumajang

2023-10-13T19:57:18+07:00

The physics laboratory standards are a collection of rules or criteria that physics laboratories must
follow in order to meet quality standards and enable effective physics learning. The physics laboratory
standards include a variety of topics, including laboratory buildings and infrastructure, laboratory staff
competency, and laboratory management and administration. The study's goal is to determine the
standardization of the physics laboratory in support of physics education at SMAN 2 Lumajang. The
research approach employed was qualitative descriptive, utilizing a case study design. Data collection
methods include observation, interviews, and documentation. According to the research findings, the
physics laboratory at SMAN 2 Lumajang has yet to meet the standards for physics laboratory
administration, but some areas already enable practical operations. The standardization of physics
laboratory administration is critical for supporting physics education at SMAN 2 Lumajang. The
laboratory must be used to its full potential, and laboratory equipment and supplies must be more
readily available. The laboratory schedule must be well-planned, and the laboratory management
system must be integrated.
