“…Blended learning is an effective method for improving critical thinking skills and academic achievement in physics learning [106], [109]. The development of software and hardware interaction as an experimental instrumentation media interface can increase cost efficiency and it allows a better comprehension of physics [110]. Computer-assisted physics instrumentation also helps students gain knowledge about programming and instrumentation, as well as increasing students' self-confidence and motivation to learn physics and programming languages [101].…”

This study aims to promote students’ critical thinking skills and academic achievement using Interface Instrumentation Experiments-supported Blended Learning (IIE-BL). In this quasi-experimental study, 40 undergraduate students who took the Basic Physics II course from the Department of Physics Education at two private universities in Indonesia were assigned randomly as experimental and control groups. Experimental group students were taught using blended learning based on interface instrumentation technology, while the control group students were taught using conventional learning by the same lecturer. To collect data, the Critical Thinking Test (CTT) and Physics Achievement Test (PAT) were administered, which data were then analyzed in independent and paired t-tests, as well as the d-effect sizes test on SPSS 26 at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that students in the experimental group obtained significantly higher critical thinking skills and achievement scores than students in the control group. It can be concluded that IIE-BL is effective in improving students’ critical thinking skills and achievement in the Basic Physics II course. Educators are suggested to apply IIE-BL to promote student performance and catalyze their learning.

“…It is also known that the trigonometric identity , where γ is a constant, then Equation 6 can be written as: (7) In the case of the oscillation of the spring-mass system, the variable c is the maximum deviation (m) and γ is the initial phase, so Equation 7 can be written in the form of a vibration equation that we generally know, namely: (8) where w is angular frequency (rad/s), t is oscillation time (s), y is deviation (m), A is maximum deviation or amplitude (m), and j0 is the initial phase (rad). It is also known that and , where T is the period of oscillation, can be written that: While the oscillation frequency f will be written in the form of an equation: (10) From Equations 9 and 10, the relationship between the period and the frequency of oscillations is obtained, which is written in the form of an equation: (11) If an SHM experiment is carried out to measure the value of the spring constant, it can be determined from Equation 9and written in the form of an equation: (12) In addition, to state the accuracy of the experimental results by comparing these two measurement results than the state in the form of equation [33]: (13)…”

“…However, in the learning process, oscillatory motion experiments are still carried out using manual equipment such as rulers and stopwatches so the measurement accuracy is low [29], [30]. This problem has been overcome through various studies to create an automatic and digital experimental setup by utilizing electronic devices such as sensors, microcontrollers/ arduino, and computers [29], [31]- [33]. In addition, an SHM experimental setup on a spring-mass system has been carried out using a light intensity sensor on a smartphone [34].…”

Simple harmonic motion experiments have been conducted using a smartphone-based spring-mass system with the Phyphox application. This research aims to investigate the relationship between the mass of an object and the period and frequency of oscillations and determine the spring constant using smartphone-based experimental equipment. The method uses the "spring" feature in the Phyphox application to visualize oscillatory movements in real-time and measure the period and frequency of oscillations. The experimental results show that the spring constant obtained from the smartphone-based experiment is 9.51 N/m, with a difference of 1.25% compared to the Hooke's Law experimental setup with the conventional method. This shows that using a smartphone-based experimental setup can be a better alternative for conducting physics experiments requiring high accuracy.

The present chapter focuses on providing an extensive literature review study on the use of physical computing equipment, sensors, smart app software and real experimental data and processing techniques for physics teaching scenarios, under STEM epistemology framework. Along with sensors and actuators, physical computing platforms, smart devices and smart phones, physics experimental teaching, triggers students' interest and engagement. The use of sensors and real-time data processing is related to the STEM scientific and engineering practices, in alignment with Inquiry-based learning (IBL) and engineering design (ED) teaching approaches for Physics education. Following, related literature is thoroughly examined, analyzed and categorized, under various metrics, including physics topics, expected learning outcomes and software and hardware tools. In this work, we highlight the process to collect and analyze real experimental data, during physics teaching scenarios and the pedagogical effectiveness of using smart sensors to confirm Physics laws, throughout IBL scenarios and physical computing platforms. Finally, through our review, we make suggestions for further research directions of how to integrate the use of sensors and the conduction of data analysis into physics-based STEM instructional design to increase students' engagement and enhance their expected learning outcomes.
