Description of Student Attitudes: Enjoyment in Learning Physics and Interest in More Time Studying Physics

Abstract

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study is to describe students' attitudes toward learning Physics by looking at the level of enjoyment of students in learning Physics and their interest in increasing the time spent studying Physics at SMAN 08 Batanghari. The students' attitudes were analyzed from the indicators of students' attitudes towards Physics, namely the students' pleasure in learning Physics and their interest in increasing their time to study Physics.
 Methodology: The research sample data consisted of all classes X, XI and XII IPA. The sampling technique of this study is the total sampling technique. The sample used was 150 students. This type of research is Quantitative with a survey method. The instrument used is an attitude questionnaire. Data analysis in this study used descriptive statistics.
 Main Findings: The research results obtained showed that the indicator of enjoyment in learning Physics had the highest percentage of 47.3%, 71 students in the good category, and the indicator of interest in increasing the time to study Physics had the highest percentage, 62.0%, 93 students in the moderately good category. This shows that students' enjoyment in learning can be seen from the amount of time students spend studying Physics.
 Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this study is to identify students' attitudes through indicators of students' enjoyment of the Physics subject at SMA Negeri 08 Batanghari which aims to increase students' curiosity and a sense of enthusiasm in understanding physics concepts. As well as increasing indicators of interest in physics subjects by increasing the time to study physics which aims to improve student achievement and learning outcomes.

Development of Teaching Materials for a Catholic Marriage Preparation Course for Prospective Married Couples

“…The teaching material book contains material that will be discussed in the lesson. The aim is to help simplify the learning process for marriage preparation course participants, so its preparation requires special requirements (Fadlilah, 2022;Mirawati & Sikarni, 2023;Nursyamsiah, 2022). This teaching material has a limited function in order to provide a complete orientation regarding theory, understanding and application or implementation of teachings .…”

Development of Environmental Education Teaching Materials Based on Class VII Middle School Entrepreneurship

“…The instruments used in this research include a questionnaire to collect responses from students and experts regarding the product being developed. Apart from that, observation techniques were also used to obtain data regarding the process of using teaching materials during the trial (Jumainah & Nurhayati, 2020;Mirawati & Sikarni, 2023;Warsihna et al, 2020). A combination of instruments and techniques is used to ensure the data obtained is representative and relevant to the research objectives.…”

Implementation of Science Student Work Sheet Based on Multiple Intelligence Materials Temperature and Their Changes

“…All children have the right to acquire expertise and skills that should be carried out by education providers [4]- [6]. Therefore, a learning strategy is needed that is able to facilitate all student activities, one of which is Multiple Intelligences [7]- [9]. This theory was coined by Howard Gardner, a psychologist from Harvard.…”
