Profile of Problem Based Learning to Improve Students' Critical Thinking Skills

This article was created to identify the effect of the Problem Based Learning model in improving students' critical thinking. The data collection method is in the form of a literature study. This article explains that problem-based learning is a learning model that focuses on students' solving problems in physics concepts. Critical thinking is the student's ability to analyze and evaluate the information received to conclude appropriately. The results of the literature study showed an increase in students' critical thinking skills in the learning process with the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model. The application of Problem Based Learning has an average increase of about 50% after the learning pattern is applied. The existence of the PBL learning model is effectively used to improve students' critical thinking, which incidentally in solving physics concepts requires the ability to analyze and evaluate to conclude.

The Improvement of Physics Teachers’ Competence in Developing an Interactive Recitation Programs to Remediate Students’ Misconception

During learning from home, the teacher is very limited in giving feedback on assignments. Consequently, students’ understanding of physics concepts is still low and experiencing misconceptions. Therefore, teachers should able to develop an interactive recitation program completed by corrective feedback that could remediate students’ misconceptions. The research objective is to improve the competence of physics teachers at Sijunjung Regency through mentoring in developing an interactive recitation program. This sort of research is quasi-experimental with one-group pretest-posttest design. The research data was obtained from the pretest and posttest about understanding of the interactive recitation programs. The results showed that there was an increase in the knowledge of high school physics teachers in understanding the interactive recitation program with a percentage of 32.4%, and the provision of mentoring activities have a significant effect on increasing the competence of physics teachers in developing interactive recitation programs.

The matter of complex anti-matter: the portrayal and framing of physics in Dutch newspapers

Physics is often perceived as difficult, but there has been little research on how physics is reported in the media. In this two-stage content analysis, we examine the portrayal of physics in five major Dutch newspapers. Results show that astronomy and astrophysics is the most prominent field. Furthermore, newspaper articles are triggered almost equally by scientific and non-scientific events. Finally, the majority of described physics concepts are framed as difficult, but journalists do provide explanations for them.

A Qualitative Study: Physics Concepts Used by Survivors in the 2018 Tsunami in Palu City

This study aimed to identify and examine the Physics concepts used by victims of the tsunami disaster in Palu City based on the earthquake, tsunami and liquefaction events that occurred on September 28, 2018 in Palu City. This research was descriptive qualitative. Data were collected by observation, interviews and documentation. Based on the results of the study, the researchers found several Physics concepts that were applied when the victims made efforts to save themselves from the tsunami. These findings were discussed and grouped according to the theme of the Physics concept, including: the concept of speed and velocity, Newton’s Second Law Concept, the concept of floating objects, and the concept of waves. The results can be used as a contextual example in learning physics. By doing so, the students will not only learn about Physics concepts, but also improve their understanding and awareness of local disasters.

DSSC with PEDOT-Carrageenan Electrolyte as Learning Media for Photovoltaic Concept Physics

This study aims to create a DSSC using PEDOT-Carrageenan-based electrolyte as a learning media for photovoltaic physics concepts. This research was experimental research conducted in the laboratory of subdepartment of physics education, Tadulako University. In this study, DSSC making process used a substrate made from TCO-FTO polymer. The TiO2 photoelectrode layer was deposited using the doctor blade technique and Ruthenizer as a dye-sensitizer and the platinum layer was deposited on the counter electrode using the sputtering technique. Process parameters that affect the characteristics of solar cells were analyzed and measured using the I-V characteristic curve. The samples measured consisted of several types of PEDOT-Carrageenan electrolytes, including Kappa, Lambda and Iota. The results of voltage measurements of each sample of the DSSC prototype were obtained quite well at a voltage of 91.8 mV using PEDOT-Carrageenan Kappa 1:2 electrolyte and the short circuit current obtained reached 57.6 uA. The best solar cell prototype produces an efficiency of 0.0003333728 %. It indicates that DSSC can be made by PEDOT-Carragenan electrolyte and can be used as a learning tool for photovoltaic physics concepts.

Enhancing sundanese students’ creative thinking skills using ICARE model on physics concepts: A rasch analysis approach

Creative thinking skills are vital in physics knowledge as in physics knowledge equal through investigation arrangements on attentions accomplishment subsequently sensing, articulating difficulties, gathering information, dispensation and seeing information, and concluding. This study drives to enhance Sundanese students’ creative thinking skills on physics by the ICARE model through Rasch Analysis. The investigate technique used a pre-experimental technique with one group pretest-posttest design for ten grade pupils (10 boys and 12 girls) and exploitation Rasch analysis to portion the person consistency with bubble chart and variable wright map. The instrument was based on indicators by Torrance. Informations were composed through pretest and posttest to amount creative thinking skills and person consistency on students. The outcomes displayed that ICARE model influenced creative thinking skills through the middling score of 0.61 characterized as intermediate. It can be decided that ICARE model is one of the erudition models that can stimulus and enhance students’ creative thinking skills on physics ideas.

Students’ scientific representation enhancement through “ECRA” techniques in formative examination design

The recent studies in science learning has a specific interest with 4C’s which are communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity. This study explored the students’ 4C’s as they engage with physics concepts relating to alternating currents. This engagement entails students’ interpretation for descriptive questions. Following action research cycle, the study begin with planning the intervention using “ECRA” technique and conducted the activities with 38 Matriculation College students. The analysis attempt to make a connection between students’ ability to construct representational aspects of scientific description with formative achievement. This study systematically describes students’ understanding on the representations signify in the descriptive questions. Data collected from this study were Work Report, review of answers tutor questions, and interviews during observation stage. The finding suggests that, the ECRA technique is enabling students to obtain higher percentage in formative assessment by allowing them to developed richer conceptual understanding. Hence this study suggest that the representational issues in physics questions constructed in essay can be moderated with ECRA technique.
