‘Hallwachs and the negatively charged particles’—the development of education comics

Abstract

In the high school context, many students only solve photoelectric effect phenomena based on the equation for maximum kinetic energy and its relationship to work functions. While the story behind this phenomenon constitutes an exciting educational experience if conveyed in an attractive visual manner, many physics teachers are concerned that students will focus on the storyline rather than engaging with the formula itself. In this study, the comic titled 'Hallwachs and the Negatively Charged Particles' was presented as a continuation of Hertz's comic from previous studies, specifically as a complement to scientific explanations of the photoelectric effect phenomenon. The comic was created following the '4D' process, including the four components of define, design, develop, and disseminate. At the define stage, a storyline was generated as part of Wilhelm Hallwach's story in order to highlight how related events helped explain the photoelectric effect phenomenon. The design stage then involved the production of a visual character that was displayed as a translation from the define stage. At the develop stage, experts in media and material conducted an assessment of the results (media expert validation score of 92% and material expert validation score of 96%, with very good interpretation). At the disseminate stage, the finished comics were uploaded to the online comic platform known as Webtoon. Readers were also asked to assess the results at that time.

Development of Special Relativity Material Learning Videos on Social Media Tiktok

“…As described, a learning video developed to explain special relativity has an abstract concept. This study uses the Research and Development (R&D) method (Amelia et al, 2022) with a development model, namely definition, design, development, and dissemination (Permana et al, 2021). The dissemination stage is uploaded to Tiktok social media.…”

The Impact of the Foreign Currency Exchange Window on the Stability of the Iraqi Dinar Exchange Rates for the Period (2002-2004)

“…This means an effective method of delivering the material in class, including the history discovery of atoms, is necessary. Unfortunately, most textbooks only focus on the final theory without delving into the process of discovering atoms by scientists (Permana, et al, 2021). An alternative approach to presenting this information is through the use of comics as a learning medium.…”

Science Comics to Explore Thomson's Hypothesis about Negatively Charged Particle

“…Comics can contain the concise and clear explanations of material in the form of a dialogue between comics characters (Özdemir, 2017). Comics also that include stories about the history and experiments carried out by scientists directly (Permana et al, 2021;Saud, 2018;Manu et al, 2016). These three methods have their respective advantages, and since the story is presented interestingly and does not deviate from the actual incident, the creative development of comics is permissible.…”

“…Furthermore, comics have great potential as a tool for teaching physics. They have been used successfully to teach a variety of topics, including: Newtonian gravity (Nikmah et al, 2019), static fluids (Suri et al, 2021), black body radiation (Özdemir, 2017), microscopes (Handayani et al, 2019), sound waves (Ramadhan et al, 2019), thermodynamics (Sari et al, 2019), negatively charged particles (Permana et al, 2021), heat and temperature (Siswoyo et al, 2020;Rashid et al, 2023). One example of a successfully developed material in comics form is black body radiation (Özdemir, 2017), which is a significant topic in modern physics.…”
