The course of thermodynamics is one of the subjects whose material content consists of real theory and practice and the use of formulas. Therefore, in the application of this course is a need to apply a learning model that is able to help students find and solve problems and be able to explain their findings in achieving the basic competencies of thermodynamics course. The learning model is a Problem Based Instruction learning model based on Blended Learning. This study aims to improve the critical thinking skills of pre-service physics teacher as a result of using Problem Based Instruction based on Blended Learning in the course of thermodynamics. Retrieval of data in this study was conducted on third semester students of physics education study programs that take Thermodynamics course. This research was conducted in September-October 2019. The research method used is quasi-experimental. Quasi-experiments are research carried out on a single group of students. Data analysis in this study used a one-party t-test. The results showed that (1) the application of the Problem Based Instruction learning model based on Blended Learning can improve students’ critical thinking skills, (2) Students’ responses to the application of the Problem Based Instruction learning model based on Blended Learning get a very happy category of ongoing learning.
The difficulty of students in understanding concepts in physics has a significant effect on students’ motivation. The purpose of this study is to develop animation media that make students easier to understand the abstract concept of Newton’s law and find out students’ responses to the use of instructional media. The 4D framework is used to develop animation-based learning media, which consists of four-phase, namely: define, design, develop, and disseminate. The instruments used are a questionnaire and interviews. The results showed that (1) Based on expert judgment Animation-based learning media was appropriate and feasible to be implemented in the physics class; (2) used of media animation in learning physics could facilitate students in understanding the abstract concept of Newton’s Law, especially in describing the direction of the force and gave opportunity to the student’s to increase their motivation to learning physics where average score of the motivation was 70% in the “High” category.
The use of digital technology requires the world of education to transform digital so that students are increasingly in demand. One of them is Islamic Boarding School education which metamorphoses by providing education that is not only oriented towards religious knowledge but broader in the mission of improving the quality of human resources to be able to face a wider real life in accordance with challenges of the times. Various learning methods are applied in order to be able to balance and develop. One of them is the use of the Blended learning method, which is a learning method that combines technology-based learning and information with classroom or face-to-face learning. Combining learning or combining face-to-face, distance learning, and e learning. To implement the method, a study was conducted at the Darul Muta’allimin Islamic Boarding School Middle School to see students’ perceptions. The blended learning model used is the lab rotation model. The results of research students’ perceptions of learning using the blended learning method get a positive response with a value of 65% agree because it provides motivation for students to study hard and is very helpful in learning and the material provided is easy to understand.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
