The ability to solve physics problems is one of the goals in learning physics and a part of the current curriculum demands. One of the physics problems that are often the focus of attention in learning is Newton's law of motion. When solving physics problems on Newton's law of motion, students need to utilize various aspects of certain abilities and rules. The purpose of this study was to reveal how the students utilized aspects of the abilities and rules in problem-solving. The study was conducted by providing physics problems on Newton's law of motion to 105 high school students. The result showed that most students were able to write equations, solutions, and system of units correctly for each problem. However, students’ ability to determine the coordinate axes, depicts free-body diagrams, forces representation, and determine the resultant forces and direction of motion was unsatisfactory. Students tended to refer to the mathematical formulations in solving the problems. Therefore, physics learning that requires students to actively learn collaboratively, peer instruction, and procedural thinking can be used as an alternative learning strategy to overcome said problems.

This study was aimed to determine the effect of POE learning model on science process skills of high school students in the material of Newton’s Law motion. The study might benefit to a provide different learning experience that makes students become more active in learning and to improve students' science process skills towards the material being taught. The populations in this study were all students of class IPA X of SMA 5 Bandar Lampung in the even semester of the Academic Year 2018/2019, consisting of 6 classes with a total of 203 students, with samples of class X IPA 1 as the experimental class and X IPA 2 as the control class. Research method of the study was quasi-experimental. The research used a pretest-posttest control group design. The result of the study revealed that the control class using the conventional learning model had an average N-gain of 0.42, while the experimental class using the POE learning model had an average N-gain of 0.72. The effect size in this study, which was 0.71, indicated that the POE learning model has a high effect in this study.  Based on the hypothesis test, it can be concluded that there was an effect of applying the POE learning model to students' science process skills in the material of Newton's Law. The magnitude of the influence of the POE learning model was classified into the high category with the Cohen’s d value of 3.40 and the effect size r of 0.71.

This study aimed to develop learning material of TPS Model by using Lectora Inspire Media on the main subject of Newton’s Law for Senior High School students. The Learning material development uses 4-D Model. Tryout II had been done to 90 students, by using one group pretest-posttest design and the replication to class X-1, X-2, and X-3 in SMA Negeri Mojoagung. The result of study shows: (1) The learning material that developed consists of: Lesson Plan, Students’ Book, Students’ Work Sheets, Lectora Inspire media, and the learning result assessment with worthy category are 3,9 – 4,0 and the reliability are 81% - 93%. (2) The developed learning material is relatively practicable, it is showed by: (a) the Lesson plan implementation is well categorized, and 100% implemented with 94% reliability, (b) the most dominant of students’ activity are asking and answering the questions in Lectora Inspire Media, (c) The students’ response toward the lesson using Lectora Inspire Media is positive, and (3) The students’ learning result is increase, it is shown by the increasing of pretest average score is 34,7 – 43,0 and the posttest average score is 79,8 – 85,5 with normalized-gain 0,68 – 0.74, (4) the constrains that faced are the students are not familiar with TPS model, the students are not familiar to connect between the video of motivation to learn with the material that will be learned. Based on the study, it can be concluded that Learning material of TPS Model with Lectora Inspire Media which developed is effective to increase the students learning result of Newton’s Law material.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan perangkat pembelajaran model TPS dengan media Lectora Inspire pada pokok bahasan hukum Newton untuk siswa SMA. Pengembangan perangkat pembelajaran menggunakan model 4-D. Ujicoba II dilakukan pada 90 siswa, dengan desain one group pretest-posttest dan dilakukan replikasi pada kelas X-1, X-2, dan X-3 SMA Negeri Mojoagung. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan: (1) Perangkat pembelajaran yang dikembangkan meliputi: RPP, buku siswa, LKS, media Lectora Inspire, dan tes hasil belajar berkategori layak dengan skor penilaian 3,9-4,0 dengan reliabilitas 81%-93%. (2) Perangkat pembelajaran yang dikembangkan tergolong praktis, hal ini ditunjukkan oleh: (a) Keterlaksanaan RPP berkategori baik, dan terlaksana 100% dengan reliabilitas 94%, (b) Aktivitas siswa paling menonjol adalah mengajukan/menjawab pertanyaan yang ada dalam Lectora Inspire, (c) respon siswa terhadap pembelajaran dengan media Lectora Inspire adalah positif, dan (3) Hasil belajar siswa mengalami peningkatan, hal ini ditunjukkan oleh peningkatan skor rata-rata pretest 34,7-43,0 dan untuk skor rata-rata postest 79,8-85,5 dengan normalized-gain  0,68-0,74, (4) kendala yang dihadapi adalah siswa belum terbiasa dengan model pembelajaran TPS, siswa belum terbiasa untuk menghubungkan antara motivasi belajar berupa video dengan materi yang akan dipelajari. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa perangkat pembelajaran model TPS dengan media Lectora Inspire yang dikembangkan efektif untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa pada materi Hukum Newton.

Many countries have incorporated computational thinking (CT) and programming languages into their science and technology courses. Students can improve their CT ability by learning programming languages. Moreover, situated learning enables students to generate knowledge and master problem-solving skills through interaction with situations. This study incorporated Webduino learning and the situated learning strategy into a programming course and analyzed its impact on high school students’ CT ability, learning motivation, and course satisfaction. A quasi-experimental research method was adopted, wherein the experimental group was subjected to the situated learning strategy and the control group was subjected to a traditional teaching method. The study results revealed that integrating Webduino programming with situated learning could effectively improve five categories of CT skills; moreover, the activity models of situated learning enhanced the value and expectation dimensions of learning motivation. In addition, satisfaction with the course content and self-identity slightly improved. However, because teachers were required to elaborate on stories to promote learner engagement with life situations, the time available for programming was limited. Thus, no significant difference was observed in teaching satisfaction.

Conceptual understanding should have serious attention due to the low score of Physics subject on national examination in Palu. The difference between learning style and jigsaw strategy is able to combine abstract conceptualization and active experiment towards the conceptual understanding for students whose learning style is converger and diverger. The research design was quasi experiment. The sample is the eleventh class of Senior High School students in Palu that are chosen using cluster random sampling (multistage), that is, 167 students. The research instrument was Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory (KLSI) of conceptual understanding test on Physics (Tes Pemahaman Konsep Fisika or TPKF). The data was analyzed by using ANOVA, with the significant level is 5%. The result shows that: (1) cooperative learning strategy of jigsaw type has more benefits than direct learning strategy in conceptual understanding on Physics, (2) student group of which learning style was converger has higher conceptual understanding than that of which learning style was diverger, (3) there are interaction influence between learning strategy and learning style towards the conceptual understanding on Physics
