Interactive recitation methods as a solution to the students’ deepening physics material during the Covid-19 pandemic

Abstract

The spread of Covid-19 in Indonesia has an impact on the implementation of learning at various levels of education, including higher education. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the implementation of learning is conducted by online learning. Students should be able to learn independently to understand learning material. This research purposes to describe the interactive recitation method as a solution for the students’ deepening of learning material during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research was conducted in odd semester 2019/2020 in the general physics course at Universitas Negeri Padang involving 141 students. Data were collected through survey, observation, interviews, and document analysis. The results showed that students’ understanding of the concept was still low for each lecture material. This can be seen from the mistakes of students’ answers to the questions given during lectures. Students have difficulty to memorize the physics concepts for a long term memory. So, an interactive recitation method needs to be developed as an solution to deepen lecture material. The interactive recitation method is loaded with various conceptual questions for each lecture material including feedback, and its makes easier for students to learn physics concepts independently during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Descriptions of Student Needs for Digital Physics Teaching Materials on Particle Dynamics: A Preliminary Study

“…The applied recitation is modified into a computer-assisted program called the recitation program (Sutopo, Jayanti, & Wartono, 2016). This program contains various assignments in the form of questions on physics concepts and principles and the provision of corrective feedback, which is helpful for remediating student concept errors while learning from home (Sundari & Dewi, 2021). In addition, providing corrective feedback is also intended so that students know their weaknesses and reinforcement during independent learning (Amalina, Taqwa, & Suyudi, 2021;Sundari & Dewi, 2021).…”

An Optimalization of Merdeka Curriculum through Developing an E-assessment in SMAN 1 Payakumbuh

“…Feedback yang diberikan, tidak hanya berupa benar atau salah, namun juga dapat diberikan umpan balik secara detail dalam menyelesaikan persoalan tersebut. Pemberian feedback terbukti dapat memberikan pengalaman positif kepada siswa pada suatu mata pelajaran, terutama saat mengevaluasi dirinya secara mandiri di rumah [11].…”

Analysis of Teaching Materials Needs for Digital Module Development in Physics Learning: Teachers Perception

“…During the last two years of the Covid-19 pandemic, the government issued policies regarding the learning process which was carried out online, then blended and returned offline. As a result of this transition in learning, it has an impact on student learning outcomes and students' understanding of concepts (Sundari & Dewi, 2021). This can be seen from the declining student learning outcomes (Sarkity & Sundari, 2020).…”
