Utilization of solar energy is converted into electrical energy using conversion devices, namely solar cells. So far the development of solar cells has undergone three generations. The development of third generation solar cell research achieves an efficiency of 14% for Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC). DSSC is a solar cell that has high potential and is environmentally friendly. Photoanod…
Student learning motivation is very important in the learning process. If student motivation is high, then students will show high behavior and enthusiasm in carrying out learning activities. Conversely, if student learning motivation is low, then students will show behaviors such as indifferent, easily tired and bored in learning. This certainly affects student learning outcomes and student le…
The results of the questionnaire on students' perceptions of guided inquiry learning showed an average score of 47 in the sufficient category. In addition, the results of the questionnaire on students' perceptions of collaboration ability showed an average score of 39 in the less collaborative category. The results of the questionnaire on students' perceptions of scientific attitudes also showe…
This study aims to obtain improved cognitive learning outcomes of students through applying a guided inquiry model using KIT mechanics on harmonic motion material. This research uses Quasi-Experiments or Pseudo-Experiments. The research design used in this study was postest only nonequivalent control group design. In the use of this design, a comparison of the experimental group and the control…
The survey results stated that there are various problems in learning physics. Physical materials such as waves are considered as learning that is difficult for learners to understand. Learning outcomes in aspects of science process skills (KPS) have not been optimally empowered. Only 22% of the 50 students of SMA Negeri 5 Pekanbaru have KPS in the high and very high categories. In addition, st…
Literacy is an important part of an educational process. Literacy is divided into six types, one of which is scientific literacy. Scientific literacy skills as measured through several international programs, such as PISA and TIMSS, show that Indonesian students' scientific literacy abilities are still at the lowest level, even having decreased from the previous period. Scientific literacy abil…
One of the challenges in learning during the 4.0 revolution, especially physics subjects, is how teachers can package interesting content and learning materials and can make it easier for students to understand the concepts. Students in physics learning still tend to have a low understanding of concepts, so most when students gain experience with concept mapping tests, many experience misconcep…
Specific skill demands that need to be empowered in learning activities that must be possessed are creative thinking skills, problem solving, collaboration, and various other skills (Zubaidah &; Malang, 2016). This research was motivated by the initial ability of student collaboration and student creativity is still low. This is also strengthened by the post-pandemic with a long online learning…
21st century skills in the national education system are a much-discussed issue. 21st century skills include communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity. These four skills are mandatory for 21st century students. This is expected to be a provision for students to live life in the future. 21st century skills are closely related to the demands of the world of work. A person wil…
Vocational High School students should have skills or skills according to their interests and talents for the major they choose. Physics is one of the supporting subjects for productive subjects in Vocational High Schools. But in reality, class X students of Fishing Vessel Engineering (TKPI) SMKN Fisheries in Riau Province, rarely do experiments, are not actively involved in the learning proces…
The learning process in training students' creative thinking skills and learning motivation has not been optimally implemented. The results of the PISA survey in 2018, stated that Indonesian students ranked low in the categories of mathematics, science, and reading. The results of a survey conducted by PISA in 2018 itself showed that the achievement of the quality of Indonesian education decrea…
The standard competencies of graduates of class XI students in physics learning are considered not optimal. Science literacy and interest in learning that tend to be lacking require teachers to find solutions. Teachers are expected to help students in achieving science literacy and interest in learning. Science literacy is the main focus in 21st century learning. Science has three component…
Physics is a branch of science which in its learning process focuses on direct experience through experimental activities. Understanding the basic concepts of physics is the most important capital and requirement to be able to solve problems regarding natural phenomena. Physics learning directs students to be able to discover and prove concepts and theories that have been learned through e…
ABSTRACT Water pollution due to industrial waste contains hazardous pollutant compounds. ZnO semiconductor-based photocatalyst degradation is an effective method for decomposing pollutants by utilizing UV radiation. In this study, the Se-doped (Se/ZnO) material is prepared with variations of Se doping namely 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% using Matoa leaf extract with microwave irradiation. Doping Se ai…
ABSTRACT Supercapacitor is energy storage media ultilizes a wide electrode surface and high porosity to obtain a more considerable capacitance value rather than conventional capacitors. The supercapacitor has several main components, one of which is the electrode. Material selection and fabrication of the electrodes play an important role in improving the performance of the supercapacitor. In …
