This study aimed to determine the extent of the digital literacy contribution to physics learning carried out by students at a university in Jayapura city in Physics Education Study Program at new normal era. The descriptive research approach was used in this study. This study’s population were all students of the Physics Education Study Program divided into 4 groups totaling 96 people. Based on the sampling process from 4 existing groups, purposive sampling was carried out so that the selected ones were students from academic year 2017 with a sample size of 18 people. This research was conducted at a university in Jayapura city in Physics Education Study Program, in September 2020. In this study, data collection techniques were used in the form of a closed questionnaire (structured questionnaire) and interviews to carry data triangulation. The results showed that every aspect of digital literacy has a variation in scores and different interpretations. The three aspects are Use Skill (medium), Critical Understanding (medium), and Communicative Abilities (basic). Students have not been able to communicate and participate actively in online learning during physics classroom because they were only at the stage of uploading content. It concluded that online learning deserves of particular attention when it lasts for the long term. The efforts to elevate the process is urgently needed.
The problem of student learning difficulties and the factors causing it are very important to know. The first step that can be taken is to use a diagnostic test as a reference indicator in identifying student learning difficulties. The purpose of this study was to determine the difficulties in learning parabolic motion and its causal factors experienced by students of the 2018 Physics Education Department. This type of research is descriptive. The subjects of this study were 19 students of the 2018 Cenderawasih University in the Physics Education Department. Data collection techniques used are test, interview, and documentation. The results of the overall assessment of the diagnostic test showed that 19 students had not yet completed achieving the learning objectives in understanding the parabolic motion sub-material because the highest score obtained by one of the students was 53, while the minimum completeness reached a score of 56. These difficulties are influenced by internal factors, namely body defects, fatigue, attention, readiness, habits, how to receive lessons, boredom; and external factors, namely the lecturer’s teaching methods, discipline, building conditions, forms of community life, and weather conditions.
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.
