Pengembangan Modul Tata Surya Berbasis Augmented Reality Terintegrasi Etnosains untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Pemecahan Masalah Siswa Kelas VII SMP
This research aims to develop an innovative Augmented Reality (AR)-based Solar System learning module that is integrated with ethnoscience to improve the problem-solving skills of grade VII junior high school students. This module was developed using a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model, which incorporates AR features through the Assemblr Edu application. Expert validation by content and media specialists resulted in eligibility scores of 91.3% and 82.4%, respectively—both of which were categorized as highly feasible. During the implementation phase, trials were conducted in three stages: individual (75%), small group (82.67%), and field (89%), with student responses ranging from good to excellent. Effectiveness testing through pretest and posttest showed a significant increase in the average score from 37.83 to 79.13, achieving an N-Gain of 0.715 (high category). The integration of ethnoscience successfully provides a contextual connection between abstract astronomy concepts and the students' cultural environment, thereby increasing engagement, understanding, and problem-solving skills. The results, which show the great potential of the AR-ethnoscience module in fostering high-level thinking skills and supporting the Independent Curriculum, underlie recommendations for future research to expand its implementation to other abstract science materials, such as vibration and waves, as well as measure their impact on long-term memory, self-efficacy, and learning motivation in various school characteristics

Pengembangan Buku Saku IPAS Berbasis Multiple Intelligences untuk Meningkatkan Pemahaman Konsep Siswa pada Materi Energi dan Perubahannya
This research is motivated by the problem that students tend to have difficulty understanding physics concepts. This causes students to be less enthusiastic and their understanding of the material to be low. Therefore, innovative teaching materials are needed in the form of pocketbooks based on multiple intelligences, so that students can learn according to their potential and individual learning styles. The purpose of this study is to produce a pocketbook based on multiple intelligences that is suitable for use and to determine the improvement of students' conceptual understanding at SMK Negeri 01 Belitang Madang Raya about energy and its changes. The development of this pocketbook uses the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) with a Likert scale to obtain results on the feasibility of the media and material. After the implementation was carried out in class X of SMK Negeri 01 Belitang Madang Raya, data from pre-tests and post-tests were obtained and analyzed using the N-Gain test. The average N-Gain score of 0.33% falls into the medium category, indicating an improvement in students' understanding after using the multiple intelligences-based pocketbook. Thus, it can be concluded that the development of a multiple intelligences-based pocketbook is considered feasible for use in physics learning and effective in enhancing students' conceptual understanding of energy and its changes

Cognitive Achievement Paradox in High School Physics: Discrepancy Between Test Performance and Conceptual Understanding
This study investigated the Cognitive Achievement Paradox in high school physics learning under conditions where high grades are accompanied by shallow conceptual understanding. A convergent-parallel mixed-methods design involved 48 11th-grade students at a public high school in Sumbawa. Data were collected through a concept test on Heat and Temperature, structured interviews, and classroom observations. Quantitative analysis using SPSS 26 showed a class mean of 89.81 (SD = 8.74), 95.8% achieved the KKM (≥75), and Shapiro–Wilk showed non-normality (W = 0.897, p < .001). However, qualitative findings revealed an inability to contextualize thermal phenomena, a reliance on memorization, and inadequate integration of simulation media. Results confirmed that calculation-based assessment systematically overestimates true understanding, threatening construct validity and scientific literacy. A quasi-experimental study testing the Simulation-Anchored Contextual Assessment model based on PhET simulations as an embedded formative assessment tool is recommended

Analisis Kebutuhan Asesmen Working Memory dalam Pembelajaran Fisika di Sekolah Inklusif: Kajian Literatur
Working memory (WM) assessment plays a vital role in supporting physics learning within inclusive classrooms that serve students with diverse learning needs. This study examines the necessity of WM assessment through a systematic literature review. WM is responsible for temporarily storing and manipulating information, which is crucial for understanding complex physics concepts. Students with limited WM capacity often struggle to follow instructions and complete problem-solving tasks. Inclusive classrooms face challenges due to varied learning needs and the lack of valid and reliable assessment tools. Instruments such as the Wechsler Memory Scale and the Automated Working memory Assessment (AWMA) are recommended for accurately measuring WM capacity. Teaching strategies that incorporate visual supports and reduce cognitive load have proven effective in accommodating WM limitations. While computer-based WM training shows promise, direct classroom interventions are considered more effective in the long term. This study recommends ongoing WM assessment, tailored instructional strategies, supportive learning materials, and collaboration between teachers and professionals to create a more adaptive and inclusive physics learning environment

Pendekatan Sains dalam Memahami Perjalanan Isra Nabi Muhammad SAW dengan Teori Relativitas
The topic was chosen because of the similarity of the concepts of the theory of relativity with the characteristics of the Prophet Muhammad's Israeli journey, namely the speed that exceeds the speed of light. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach with a focus on literature review. The data source comes from a literature review related to Isra. Furthermore, researchers conducted simulations to generate the necessary data using the MATLAB algorithm. The results obtained are the relationship of length contraction that occurs is directly proportional to the travel time in the Isra event. The Isra event of the Prophet Muhammad SAW can be understood with a scientific approach and spiritual aspects to provide a more complete and comprehensive understanding. Future research is expected to combine the theory of relativity with other concepts other than in science to explain the phenomenon of Isra' Mi'raj more comprehensively
