Physics teaching materials for Senior High School that supporting the development of human resources that is able to adapt to any changes, to solve complex problems, creative thinking and familiar with information technology has not been widely available in senior high schools in West Sumatra. Based on the above, research that aims to determine the effectiveness of the use of Physics teaching materials that integrates Mathematics, Science, Technology, natural disasters, and the noble character (MSTBK) on WEB for Senior High School grade XI and to determine the effect of the use of teaching materials MSTBK on the learning outcomes of high school students in class XI. The quasi-experiment design research was comparing the learning outcome before and after the state of the object being treated. The treatments were using physics teaching materials that developed for teaching learning in Senior High School grade XI. The experiment was conducted at five senior high schools in West Sumatra were divided into 3 levels. The data were analyzed by using a statistical product moment and Anova. The research showed that the physics teaching materials that developed are effectively to improve student learning outcomes in Senior High School grade XI in West Sumatera with a correlation coefficient (r_xy) = 0. 31. Levene Statistic showed the average of the learning outcomes of high school students in grade XI was different, but yet rules Tukey HSD and Bonferroni statistics show that there are not significantly of 0.05 at a significance level in West Sumatra

A high school equivalency program for the visually impaired includes a rigorous evaluation process to determine if the person would make a good candidate for instruction. The instruction includes the teaching of math, spelling and grammar, literature, history, and science. The use of various materials, special aids and modifications for visually impaired students is discussed.

Introduction. The diversification in education means, inter alia, establishing an institutional balance between integration and differentiation, which should also hold true for visually-impaired children. Junior age is a sensitive period for the development of communicative skills. Hence, one of the key tasks on the educational agenda for visually-impaired junior high school students is the development of communicative competence. The paper is the first attempt to identify how institutional and educational setting impacts the development of communicative competence in junior high school students, namely, such aspects of communicative competence as content/compliance with communication standards, attitude/role relationships, position/function, and involvement/activity. Materials and Methods.The evidence was obtained from four schools in Saint Petersburg and Leningrad Region. The survey included 55 respondents in grades 1‒3 with deferent degrees of visual impairment from inclusive educational settings with partial integration / differentiation. The methodology included such tools as Effective Communication: Raising Awareness of Visually-Impaired Students; a scale-based interview and questionnaire; L. Mikhelson’s Communication Skills test modified by L.S. Kolmogorova; Joint Sorting by G.V. Burmenskaya; and G.A. Tsukerman’s Picture Dictation. The data was processed using Student's t-test for dependent and independent samples and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results. The assessment of communicative competence in schoolchildren embraced several aspects: content/compliance with communication standards; attitude/role relationships; position/function; involvement/activity. In the context of inclusive education with partial integration and differentiation, visually-impaired junior high school students show different development levels of different aspects of communicative competence. This context has a selective and ambivalent effect. Discussion and Conclusion. The results may find application in the design and testing of a variable modular programme aimed at the development of communicative competence in visually-impaired junior high school students. The results may also lay the foundation for the rehabilitation and training strategy for visually-impaired students and facilitate their integration in social and educational environment.

This article describes the process followed to test software, the result of the first stage of an investigation, which aims to be a support tool for people with visual disabilities to improve their experience in learning mathematics. An analysis is made of the current situation in the country and the world of people with disabilities who wish to continue their studies at a high school or higher level, but who have found as main obstacles not having enough bibliography in Braille, or teachers not They have the means to generate content that visually impaired students can use in the same way as their classmates. Now with the Covid-19 pandemic there was a rebound in the use of educational platforms and distance education, leaving aside people with visual disabilities. We present the results of surveys applied to people with visual disabilities who participated using the software to evaluate their experience as users and their opinions to improve interaction with it. The objective of this study is to make people with visual disabilities feel included in regular educational environments, reducing the barriers that they may encounter in the teaching-learning process in the classroom, and converting them into inclusive classrooms.

ABSTRAK Penelitian ini merupakan R&D level 1 yang dilaksanakan dalam lima tahap yaitu potensi masalah, studi literatur dan pengumpulan informasi, desain produk, validasi desain dan desain teruji. Tujuan dari penelitian dan pengembangan ini yaitu: 1) mengidentifikasi tingkat kebutuhan bahan ajar E-Modul dan media pembelajaran dan 2) mengembangkan modul pembelajaran elektronik berbantuan simulasi PhET pada pokok bahasan gerak harmonik sederhana di SMA. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu lembar observasi, lembar angket siswa dan guru, dan lembar angket uji validitas oleh tim ahli. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa, modul pembelajaran elektronik berbantuan simulasi PhET yang dikembangkan berada dalam kategori sangat valid dan merupakan desain teruji dengan perolehan skor pada aspek materi yaitu 92,3%, aspek bahasa yaitu 91,7% dan aspek media yaitu 94,2%, serta didapatlah perolehan skor persentase total rata-rata modul pembelajaran elektronik ini yaitu 92,7%. Berdasarkan hasil dengan penambahan daftar isi, sajian isi modul, petunjuk penggunaan modul, tujuan pembelajaran, materi, contoh soal, lembar kerja siswa dengan bantuan simulasi PhET, latihan soal dan kunci jawaban soal, kemudian terdapat gambar, video, simulasi serta animasi yang menarik maka dihasilkan modul elektronik berbantuan simulasi PhET pada pokok bahasan gerak harmonik sederhana di SMA. Kata Kunci: Bahan ajar fisika, modul elektronik, simulasi PhET, penelitian dan pengembangan ABSTRACT This research was level 1 R & D which was carried out in five stages, namely potential problems, literature studies and information gathering, product design, validated design and design. The objectives of this research and development were: 1) identifying the level of need for E-Module teaching materials and learning media and 2) developing electronic learning modules assisted by PhET simulation on the subject of simple harmonic motion in high school. The instruments used in this study were observation sheets, student and teacher questionnaire sheets, and questionnaire validity test sheets by the expert team. The results of this study indicated that the teaching materials used at the Bengkulu City Senior High School in the form of printed teaching materials and that were obtained from schools, then there was a lack of use of ICT-based learning media. Furthermore, the PhET simulation assisted electronic learning module developed was in a very valid category and is a tested design with the acquisition of scores on material aspects namely 92.3%, language aspects namely 91.7% and media aspects namely 94.2%, and obtained the percentage score for the total average of this electronic learning module is 92.7%. Based on the results of adding the table of contents, presenting module contents, module usage instructions, learning objectives, material, sample questions, student worksheets with the help of PhET simulations, practice questions and answer key questions, then there are interesting images, videos, simulations and animations then generated electronic module with PhET simulation on the subject of simple harmonic motion in high school. Keywords: Physics teaching materials, electronic modules, PhET simulations, research and development
