Physics concepts are unique because some of them are the abstract concepts so they need to be visualized so as easier to be understood. However, it is rarely the learning media that can combine the real and virtual visualization of abstract physics concepts in the same time. This present study aims to create the application that is used as the physics learning media to aid the virtual visualization of the abstract concept of physics combined with real visualization using augmented reality. The abstract concepts of physics that are visualized are electricity concepts. The waterfall method is the method utilized to test the application on the android system. There are four standards to analyze data, namely functional suitability, performance efficiency, portability, and usability. The findings reveal that two standards (i.e., performance efficiency, and portability) lead the application is valid and good to be used while the usability standard achieves high value based students’ questionnaire that means the application is valid. The implication of this present study indeed can be widened to implement the application on the physics learning in the classroom.
This study aimed to create a teaching material using an application with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) provided on MATLAB. This teaching material is intended for Physics subject. Creating a GUI with MATLAB was made using the guide facility provided in MATLAB. The MATLAB GUI has a relatively small file size so that it can speed up the running program commands. This research aimed to create an application that is easy and effective to be used by users without having to understand the complexity of computing MATLAB. The application consists of a main menu, a GUI that can be run according to the materials needed by the users, as well as a menu to close the application. The physical matter contained in it is planetary motion (Kepler’s law). Physics learning materials that can be used as a reference in running the GUI program, e-modules containing procedures for creating the GUI by using MATLAB for learning, as well as the MATLAB source code used in every programming. For further research, the author expects the development of this study by using the e-module contained in the application as a material for creating GUI MATLAB.
Assessment is an important component in education that always needed. To improve the quality of education can be done by improving assessment learning quality and system. This study aims to determine the performance of students of grade X SMA N in Bandung West Java Indonesia school with 34 participants on a two-dimensional collision concept. This research is descriptive research which is conducted to examine the condition and situation that is happening, so that gives a fact-based description found in the school in other to find information factually. Problem studies that analyzed are the student’s performance after using PhET simulations on two-dimensional collision concept. The instrument utilized in this study is a written test in the form of students’ worksheets of momentum and impulse. Student worksheets test shows the average percentage on student performance in understandings concept of two-dimensional collision concept is 67.14%. These data indicated that student learning performance in good category. Learning by using virtual laboratory can provide more meaningful learning especially in physics concept that cannot be presented and observed directly in daily life.
The aims of the research were to find out improving students intelligences trough questioning identification. For this purpose, data were analyzed by the prospective problem posing process. It was a descriptive research with a sample of elementary school. The entire of the research is in grade two. Qualitative data contains students intelligences from students questioning identification. Design of improving students intelligences trough questioning identification were measured by question type, suitability with the material, have an answer or not, a degree of difficulty, level of courage in asking, and why they ask that question. All variables were analyzed using Bloom’s Taxonomy. All students involved in this study have received permission from parents. The participants in this study were students in one of the elementary school in Indonesia. Participants totaled 29 students with an age range of 7-8 years. This research was conducted by researchers from several studies of student intelligence, observation with research instruments in the form of observation sheets, documentary, and video of activity classes. Students questioning identification category with a questioning medium, questioning low, and questioning high. In conclusion, it was concluded that the difficulties questioning skills determined as; lack of experience, lack of the content knowledge, not recognizing the cognitive levels of the students, and difficulties in understand problem texts. The solutions for the teacher which were suggested in the scope of this research were as the following; emphasizing problem-solving and posing studies, in-depth analysis of the curriculum, teaching special teaching methods in details and resorting to resources during problem posing process
A cylinder milling has been modified by adding a heating controller for coating TiO2 photocatalyst on the surface of polymer at constant temperature. By testing the polystyrene, polypropylene, and linear-low-density polyethylene polymer density before and after coating, it is obtained that polypropylene polymer is suitable for polymer-coated TiO2 because the surface is transparent and can remain floating on the surface of water although it has been coated with TiO2 catalyst. Coating process of TiO2 nanoparticles on the surface of the polypropylene is performed through three stages, that is stirring while heating in the cylinder milling, washing, and drying. The coating temperature is 1100C for 90 minutes. Photocatalytic activity was observed by testing the photodegradation of methylene blue dissolved in water using a container with a surface area 750 cm2 and illuminated by sunlight for 12 days. The experiment was done at 6 containers with similar volume and area and variable amount of catalyst, which is without catalyst (0 g) to 5 layer of catalyst (550 g). From the colour, turbidity, and UV-Vis characterization, the methylene blue decomposition effectively occurred with amount of 220 g catalyst (2layer of catalyst).
Seismic refraction is one of the active seismic methods that work based on seismic waves that are refracted following the layers of the earth beneath the surface. Seismic refraction surveying is an important tool for determining the geometries and elastic wave propagation velocities of near-surface layer for oil bearing structures. Based on the data acquisition sketch obtained, the acquisition is carried out using the In-Line technique. There are two sources of vibration chosen, namely at the forward and reverse points, the distance between the 5-meter geophone and the distance between the source of the vibration and the geophone of 5 meters. The seismic data processing technique used in this study is the Generalized Reciprocal Method (GRM). This method determines the value of analysis, XY Optimum distance, time-depth analysis value, and depth. In interpreting seismic data, the calculation results that have been made are validated for accuracy using Software. From the research that has been done, it can be known as modeling subsurface structure. There are three layers, the first layer is 6 m-10m deep, while the second layer is 18m-22m deep. In the range of about 0m-20m, the first layer has a velocity of 507.74 m/s, the second layer has a velocity of 1420.43 m/s and the third layer has a velocity of 2522.30 m/s. In the range of about 20m-80m the first layer has a velocity of 550.12 m/s, the second layer has a velocity of 1575.11 m/s and the third layer has a velocity of 2607.45 m/s. In the range of about 80m-100m, the first layer has a velocity of 482.34 m/s, the second layer has a velocity of 1301.09 m/s and the third layer has a velocity of 2400.86 m/s.
