Bibliometric Analysis on Online Physics Learning during COVID-19 Pandemic: Contribution to Physics Education Undergraduate Program

Abstract Research will focus on generating a profile of research trends in online physics learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The main research is bibliometric. Scopus document data collection in August 2021. The 1007 document results with keywords online physics learning. Then focused on 2020 and 2021* as 277 document results of which these 2 years are the COVID-19 pandemic period. In general, the research results show that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a positive impact on accelerating online learning in developing countries. Another finding is online learning which is proven to be effective for improving student learning outcomes in physics learning. Educational transformations today and after the COVID-19 pandemic can occur in online education, changes in learning from home, changes in roles, and approaches. The research implications are supported by recent research: (1) These findings will provide an empirical basis for the development of physics education research, especially online physics learning during the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) Deep learning system, machine learning system, and education computing can still become a research trend in current research, especially in the integration and adaptation in physics learning; (3) Retracing the trend and novelty of physics education research, especially in the physics education undergraduate program.

And Gender

For both physicists who teach students in university and physics educators, how physics should be taught is a vital question. This study reviewed the trends of research in the field of physics education to identify the status of physics education research and help researchers in future studies. 2,959 articles were collected from the American Journal of Physics (AJP) and 745 articles from the Physics Review Physics Education Research (PRPER). Abstracts of the collected articles were used for the study. After preprocessing the texts of the abstracts, topics were extracted from the texts using topic modeling. The Late Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model of Mallet was used for topic modeling. A total of 13 topics were extracted from the two journals. In recent years, “pedagogical content of knowledge (PCK),” “assessment” of achievement and “gender” of student have been topics of increasing interest; “teacher education” and “students’ reasoning process” have been topics with continuous high interest, and “introductory physics” and “problem solving” in physics have been topics with decreasing interest. Keywords: physics education research, physics education, research trend, topic modeling.

Needs assessment aims to understand the requirements of learning in the COVID-19 pandemic era, the use of online learning platforms, the constraints and solutions offered, the "Merdeka Belajar" curriculum in this course, the challenges and needs in the future. It is an exploratory study for students need on the new learning condition because of the COVID-19 pandemic era. The data gathered from the questionnaire of some lectures and undergraduate programme of physics education students through an online survey also included observation and analysis from various sources. The results show the following facts. It needs online learning with a user-friendly device for students. There are multiple online education platforms based on learning activities, but some students have constraints on internet network stability. Another problem is the need for internet data packages that are not small in the online learning process, especially when using virtual face-to-face platforms. On the other hand, there was a reduction in the semester credit system's weight for the physics learning evaluation course in the "Merdeka Belajar" curriculum. The content of Bloom's taxonomy is quite dense and takes time to understand each level of thinking. So, the future challenge is to develop a learning media that students can use in studying Bloom's taxonomy topic and solve the problem of internet data packages and internet network stability. One alternative solution to learning problems is using learning media in electronic books that students can use offline.

Abstract Critical thinking skills (CTS) are still one of the research trends in this decade, including during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research will focus on generating a profile of CTS on physics learning during COVID-19 pandemic based on bibliometric analysis using VOSViewer. The findings indicated there were some parameters or interrelationships among variables to capture current and future trend of CTS on physics learning, such as analysis, implementation, effectiveness, effect, development, and technology. The research implications are supported by recent research: (1) These findings will provide an empirical basis for the development of physics education research, especially online physics learning during the COVID-19 pandemic to practice CTS; (2) CTS can still be a research trend in the latest research; (3) Digitization of physics learning is becoming a trend to be carried out gradually and continuously.
