Promoting Physics-Entrepreneurship Via Facebook: A Thematic Study

Abstract

This study addresses the use of Facebook (FB) as a media for promoting science’ product. By adopting the concept of entrepreneurship education, the study explored the role of FB in promoting science message through “Learning Shirt-theme”. A thematic study was conducted, involving a group of Indonesian undergraduate physics students (34 members) in FB namely “Learning Shirt” and the content of their sites as the entrepreneurs and 192 active members as the service users. The students pursued their study at a public university in Surabaya, Indonesia, which contributed to the group’s community. These groups of students established entrepreneurship activities and promoted their message of physics via FB. The role of the researcher is a tutor of the community. Data analyses were used, including a thematic and documentation analysis and supported by questionnaire analysis. The results of the study categorized the physics-shirt into five themes: the history of physics, derivation of the equation in physics, physics symbols and equations, physics values, and models in physics. The FB users’ understanding of physics themes were in a good category with an average score of 79.79. The trend of FB user’s positive response regarding ten expressions in the questionnaire was increased significantly in three weeks.

Exploring global dynamics of sustainable environmental sciences in climate change mitigation for sustainable development

“…This research employs a systematic review approach combined with bibliometric analysis to comprehensively unveil the evolution of scientific studies. The integration of these methods provides quantitative understanding through bibliometric analysis while also offering qualitative insights through a systematic review of the topic and content under investigation [27][28][29]. Bibliometric analysis is a scientific method utilized for exploring and analysing large volumes of scientific data [30][31][32].…”

“…Through this mapping, there are new findings that enrich our understanding of SES research trends in climate change mitigation over the past 5 years. In finding novelty from the mapping results, that is by looking at the relationship between fewer or smaller keys [40]. From the results of the mapping, new and specific aspects can be seen in Fig.…”
