Education is the key to cultural preservation and building the future of a nation. The development of the education system in Indonesia has undergone constant change over time in line with educational demands and advances in science and technology. Education must prepare students to be critical thinkers so that they are able to respond to technological developments. Based on field studies condu…
In Physics learning, students are required to comprehend concepts holistically, demonstrate them through analytical reasoning, and relate them to everyday phenomena. In reality, low learning interest, a lack of active participation, and difficulties in understanding Physics concepts remain persistent challenges. This situation is exacerbated by teacher-centered instruction employing conventiona…
Saat ini perkembangan teknologi semakin maju menuntut adanya strategi pembelajaran yang lebih menarik dan efektif. IPA dipandang sebagai ilmu yang berperan besar dalam pengembangan pengetahuan dan teknologi sehingga diperlukan metode pembelajaran yang dapat meningkatkan pemahaman siswa, khususnya pada materi suhu dan kalor yang masih menjadi tantangan bagi banyak peserta didik. Berdasarkan…
Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh banyaknya sekolah yang melakukan proses pembelajaran berpusat pada guru dengan dominasi metode ceramah, sehingga siswa lebih banyak bergantung pada penjelasan guru dan kurang terlibat secara aktif dalam kegiatan belajar. Penggunaan variasi media pembelajaran juga masih terbatas, terutama media interaktif yang dapat menarik perhatian siswa dan mendukung …
Pembelajaran merupakan suatu aktivitas yang melibatkan interaksi antara peserta didik dengan guru, peserta didik dengan peserta didik, dengan bahan ajar, metode pembelajaran, media pembelajaran serta berkaitan dengan lingkungan sekolah. Keberhasilan pembelajaran terlihat dari tercapainya tujuan belajar yang diharapkan. Pembelajaran IPA secara terpadu dapat memberikan pengalaman serta kesempatan…
Pendidikan berperan penting dalam meningkatkan kualitas sumber daya manusia agar mampu bersaing di era global. Salah satu keterampilan abad ke-21 yang perlu dikembangkan adalah keterampilan berpikir kritis. Hasil studi internasional seperti Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) menunjukkan bahwa keterampilan berpikir kritis siswa di Indonesia masih rendah. Kondisi ini disebabkan…
21st-century science education demands scientific literacy skills that not only understand scientific concepts but also critical thinking and the ability to relate science to everyday life. However, the 2022 PISA results show that Indonesian students' scientific literacy remains low, with a score of 383, below the OECD average of 485. This low score is due to the use of less interactive learnin…
Both formal and informal education serve as the basis for improving student quality. The implementation of education and learning is a complex endeavor, encompassing interactions between teachers and students, as well as guidance and direction for students to achieve learning objectives (Ketut et al., 2021:45). Several branches of science are studied in education, one of which is Natural Scienc…
IPA is an abbreviation of Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam (Natural Science), a translation of the English word "Natural Science." Natural means natural or related to nature. Science means knowledge. So, literally, IPA means the study of nature or the study of natural phenomena (Barus, 2022:18). A common problem in the learning process is a lack of student interest in learning, due to boredom with monoton…
Education plays a crucial role in shaping the quality, potential, abilities, and character of students. Learning methods in education are constantly changing and evolving according to learning objectives and needs. Currently, conventional teacher-centered methods are still widely used, but these methods have weaknesses such as making students passive, lacking critical thinking, and easily bored…
Natural Science (IPA) is a field of study that evolves from observing natural phenomena, aimed at understanding the occurrences that take place in daily life. Based on field facts, science learning still tends to utilize conventional methods that are less student-centered. This causes students to lose interest and feel bored during the learning process, making it more difficult for them to comp…
Education plays an important role in shaping students' character and developing their potential. A well-planned educational process enables individuals to acquire knowledge, skills, and opportunities to improve their quality of life. However, based on field observations, students' learning outcomes in science, particularly physics, are still relatively low. Several factors contribute to the low…
Physics learning at the senior high school level is not only aimed at delivering information, but also at developing students ’ deep conceptual understanding. However, in practice, physics instruction is still dominated by teacher-centered approaches that position the teacher as the primary source of information, causing students to become passive learners who merely memorize concepts without…
Education is the primary foundation for shaping the quality of human life, especially in equipping students with critical and creative thinking skills to face the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 and Society 5.0. However, the reality at the junior high school level shows that Physics, particularly the topic of motion and force, is still considered difficult because it requires in-depth anal…
The development of a nation is greatly determined by the quality of education as its primary pillar, since the quality of human resources depends on the educational system implemented. In the era of globalization, the advancement of technology and information requires individuals not only to possess cognitive abilities, but also critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and high adap…
Terdapat beberapa cabang ilmu yang dipelajari dalam pendidikan di Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP), salah satunya adalah Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam (IPA). IPA merupakan pengetahuan yang diperoleh manusia dalam memahami alam semesta melalui pengamatan dan prosedur yang tepat dan benar sehingga mendapat kesimpulan yang tepat. Menurut Samatoa IPA adalah mata pelajaran yang membahas gejala-gejala alam yan…
This research was motivated by the still low level of students’ self-efficacy in Physics learning, particularly on the topic of renewable energy. This condition is characterized by a lack of self-confidence, hesitation in answering questions, and students’ tendency to remain passive during the learning process. In fact, self-efficacy is one of the important factors that influence learning s…
Twenty-first century learning requires students to possess critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication skills. The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) approach was selected in this study because it has the potential to address the challenges of twenty-first century learning through the integration of critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and comm…
21st-century learning emphasizes the development of the 4C skills (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication) through active, contextual, and project-based learning processes. However, in practice, physics learning still tends to focus on theory, limited media, minimal practical activities, and low student engagement, resulting in suboptimal physics learning. Therefore, in…
International educational assessments such as PISA indicate that Indonesian students’ scientific literacy remains below the global average, highlighting the need for innovative learning approaches to improve educational quality. One relevant approach is deep learning, which emphasizes conceptual understanding, critical thinking, and knowledge transfer, particularly in physics learning on the …
