Adventuring Physics: Integration of Adventure Game and Augmented Reality Based on Android in Physics Learning

Abstract

One of the difficulties in physics learning is the low motivation to learn because physics materials are considered complex, boring, and abstract for students. Therefore, this research developed an Augmented Reality (AR)-integrated game application "Adventuring Physics" based on android that can create more fun physics learning and provide concept visualization on abstract materials so that they become easier for students to understand. This study aims to develop a valid and practical application of Adventuring Physics games on physics learning. This research uses Research and Development (R&D) design to develop the application. This application has two main features: 'play games' and 'augmented reality'. Furthermore, the game's concept in this application is adapted to the physics materials. Meanwhile, the AR feature in this application can create visualizations in the form of 3D image projections of the material. The results of the validity assessment show that this application is declared valid, feasible, and reliable. In addition, the results of the practicality assessment show that this application is very practical. Thus, the app is worth applying in physics learning. This research has implications as an application of Adventuring Physics that can motivate students to learn physics, apply digital technology in education, and apply it to physics learning.

Analyzing Students’ Acceptance Toward the Use of Tutorial Webinar Using Technology Acceptance Model Approach

“…This study aims to provide an overview of the data originating from the results of a questionnaire regarding student and lecturer acceptance of the use of webinar tutorials during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data from the research results were analyzed in a quantitative descriptive manner in which the results of the questionnaire were presented in a table accompanied by percentage and average calculations as well as a description of the criteria achieved, namely data originating from a questionnaire that was carried out by analyzing the total score items based on the Likert scale (Arzak & Prahani, 2023;Lorencia & Jatmiko, 2021;Prahani et al, 2020;Rizki et al, 2023;. The research procedure is explained in Figure 1.…”

The Role of Brain-Based Learning in Training Students' Critical Thinking Skills

“…Research conducted by Zakaria and Purwoko (2021) states that critical thinking abilities must be acquired through education, specifically through developing futureready living abilities. Students are declared to have the ability to think critically on five indicators, namely: 1) making decisions on problem-solving steps, 2) analyzing, 3) making inferences, 4) evaluating, and 5) making conclusions (Jatmiko et al, 2021;Neswary & Prahani, 2022;Rizki et al, 2023;Rohmah & Prahani, 2021;Saphira & Prahani, 2022). Learning media can help measure the critical thinking ability of BBL model students.…”

Cooperative model, digital game, and augmented reality-based learning to enhance students critical thinking skills and learning motivation

“…This application also has an AR feature that can visualize magnetic field concepts that tend to be abstract, making them easy to understand. The appearance of this application is depicted in Figure 1 (Rizki et al, 2023).…”

“…The game used in this study belongs to the adventure genre, while the AR technology utilized is marker-based AR. These two technologies are integrated into a mobile application called Adventuring Physics (Rizki et al, 2023), thus giving rise to the Cooperative and Adventuring Physics (CAP)-based learning model. Through this innovative learning approach, students are actively engaged in collaborative learning, benefit from an enhanced understanding of the subject matter through sophisticated visualizations, and gain new and immersive learning experiences (Suprapto et al, 2021).…”
