Electronic practicum module based on scientific argumentation as a practicum medium of motion and force in the covid-19 pandemic

Abstract

The concept of motion and forces needs to be mastered by physics students through theoretical learning and scientific inquiry in the laboratory. The theory of motion and forces can be learned through online lectures and assignments. However, laboratory investigations cannot be conducted due to campus policies to study and work from home. Therefore, this research was conducted to develop practicum modules that can facilitate the practicum of motion and forces remotely. This module features videos containing experimental data and analysis guides with EPUB format to facilitate scientific argumentation ability. This article primarily discusses the content validity of the electronic module and the practicum video. The method used was expert judgment using validation questionnaires by five experts. Validation results are then converted to a five-scale score based on the ideal standard deviation to determine the product eligibility. The calculation results show that practical electronic and video modules have an excellent level of feasibility. Furthermore, the electronic practicum module based on scientific argumentation needs to be tested to determine its level of practicality and effectiveness in facilitating practicum and developing scientific argumentative ability.

The Modern Physics Practicum Module Is Equipped With Videos to Train Hots

“…n practicum activities, a practicum module is needed as a guide so that activities can run according to the procedure [12]. The practicum module contains procedures for preparation, implementation, data analysis, and reporting [13]. The practicum module used needs to be based on high order thinking skills to achieve practicum success [14].…”
