Indonesia is very rich in cultural diversity which is reflected in various aspects including the "Dalam Loka" stilt house as a form of local wisdom from the Samawa, Sumbawa, and NTB tribes. Dalam Loka, it can be used as a learning medium or resource by studying the architecture of the building based on physics concepts. This research aims to identify the physics concepts contained in the architecture of Dalam Loka stilt houses by reconstructing the community's original knowledge into scientific knowledge which can be used as a source of physics learning. The research method used is ethnoscience-based descriptive qualitative. Data collection was carried out in Sumbawa Regency, NTB using observation, interviews, and literature review techniques. The data obtained is then analyzed, verified and reduced, then constructed, and interpreted into scientific knowledge. Physics concepts that can be explored from stilt houses in the workshop are damped forces, properties and types of insulating materials, temperature, heat, earth rotation, balance, gravity, pressure, lateral forces, Bernoulli's principle, simple planes, density, elasticity, water absorption, and rigid objects. The results of the research show that the architecture of stilt houses in the location can be interpreted into scientific knowledge and implemented in physics learning

This research aims to analyze the preliminary development process of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) learning tools integrated with Education Sustainable Development Goals (ESDG) on the topic of global warming which aims to train students' earth science literacy and creativity. 3D research design (define, design, develop) is used as a type of initial development research which is an adaptation of 4D design. This research used a validation sheet instrument with assessment indicators in the form of content assessment criteria, presentation criteria, and language criteria. The results of the assessment by 3 experts (2 experts in physics learning instrument development and 1 high school physics learning instructor expert) were analyzed using the percentage of agreement. The research results showed that the entire learning tool was declared valid for each construct, content, and presentation criteria with several improvements. At the development stage, there are improvements to input and suggestions from validators so that the learning tools used are better. Thus, this learning tool can be used for learning to train creativity and earth science literacy for high school students. The recommendation for further research is that this tool can be used as a reference in developing learning tools and implemented in learning on the topic of global warming for high school students level

Tinjauan Filsafat Sains pada Konsep Horsepower dalam Pembelajaran Fisika

Dens Asbanu — Fri, 31 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Teaching physics concepts using a philosophy of science approach is important for understanding how physical scientists develop theories. The concepts of quantities, units, and dimensions in physics, such as horsepower (hp), are fundamental to learning from school to college. However, there is still a lack of philosophical understanding of the concept of horsepower in the context of physics teaching, leading to a deficiency in this understanding. This study proposes a philosophical exploration of the concept of horsepower from the perspectives of epistemology, ontology, and axiology. The research methods used include in-depth literature studies, conceptual analysis, and case studies related to the implications of horsepower in automotive industrial engineering. The results demonstrate that the concept of horsepower can be examined from various philosophical perspectives, including aspects of epistemology in its development, ontology in understanding its existence, and axiology in considering the values associated with its use. This philosophical exploration not only enhances the understanding of physics concepts but also encourages deeper reflection on the relationship between humans, technology, and nature

Ekplorasi Konsep Dinamika Rotasi pada Tari Banjarkemuning Asal Sidoarjo sebagai Sumber Pembelajaran Fisika Berbasis Etnofisika

Physics as a part of natural science can not be separated with indigenous knowledge. This research aims to explore the physics concepts of dynamics rotation in Tari Banjarkemuning, Sidoarjo, East Java. This qualitative research using a content analysis steps which divided into unitizing, sampling, coding, reducing, inferring, and narrating. Data were collected by observation, interviews, and literature study. The dynamics rotation shows at variety motion of embat-embat, silatan, and ceklekan. The rotational hand's movement in embat-embat identic with concept of torque. The dancer's hands has folded while make a rotational movement at silatan identic with concept of moment inertia. The dancers shakes the sampur and fold both arms toward her chest as it spin which related with a law conservation of angular momentum. Thus, the research can used as a reference in innovation of contextual physics learning with ethnophysics teaching materials approach

Ethnoscience Study of Tabuik Pariaman, West Sumatra in Physics Learning

Febrian Virijai, Winny Liliawati, Siti Sriyati, Ridwan Ridwan — Fri, 31 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Tabuik is an annual event in Pariaman City, West Sumatra which has become a tourist attraction and icon of Pariaman City. The Tabuik event has many rituals in its implementation, starting from the manufacturing process to the ceremonial procession. This Tabuik event can be studied and found in ethnoscience to be integrated and implemented in Physics and Science learning at school. The research method used is qualitative research based on case studies. Data collection techniques include video observations of the process of making and ceremonial Tabuik Pariaman, and interviews. The results obtained from this research are that the Tabuik Pariaman ceremony process has the value of reconstructing knowledge through ethnoscience which can explain the local wisdom of the community. Tabuik ethnoscience can be implemented in Physics learning in the material of Force, Mechanical and Kinetic Energy, Moment of Inertia, Equilibrium of Rigid Bodies, and Elasticity. Implementation of Tabuik ethnoscience in science learning, namely in Biology learning about the classification of living things. Suggestions for further research include the implementation of Physics and Science learning from the culture and local wisdom of other regions

One of the challenges in learning solid-state physics is that phenomena are microscopic and therefore difficult for students to understand. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using PhET virtual simulations in solid-state physics learning in improving conceptual understanding among prospective physics teachers. The research method used was a quasi-experiment with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 30 prospective physics teachers from the Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia in Bandung. Concept understanding is measured through a description test. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and normalized gain to assess the effectiveness of virtual simulation and increase understanding of concepts. The results of the analysis show the positive potential of PhET virtual simulations in increasing the understanding of solid-state physics concepts for prospective physics teachers. Further research is needed regarding factors that can optimize the use of PhET virtual simulations in learning
