Penerapan Pendekatan Deep Learning dalam Meningkatkan Kemampuan Berfikir Kritis Materi Hukum Newton
Newton’s laws constitute a fundamental subject in physics education, forming the basis for comprehending motion phenomena and their practical applications in everyday life. Understanding this topic requires students to apply critical thinking by linking theoretical concepts, physical laws, and real-life occurrences. However, physics instruction in many schools still relies heavily on teacher-centered lectures and memorization of formulas, which limits the development of students’ critical thinking. This approach often results in difficulties for students in grasping abstract ideas and using them in real-world contexts. This study seeks to improve students’ critical thinking abilities regarding Newton’s laws through the implementation of a deep learning approach. The research used a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design implemented in two cycles, each comprising planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The participants were 30 students from class X A at a senior high school in Jambi, selected through purposive sampling. Data were gathered using learning outcome tests designed based on critical thinking indicators. The findings indicate an enhancement in students’ critical thinking, as shown by an N-gain of 0.49 in cycle I, which rose to 0.70 in cycle II, both falling within the moderate category. Additionally, students’ learning completeness improved from 78% to 88%, and the performance across six critical thinking indicators increased from 74% to 82.67%. These results suggest that the deep learning approach effectively boosts students’ critical thinking skills and promotes more meaningful physics learning centered on scientific reasoning.

Tracker Video Analysis As A Pedagogical Tool For Teaching Uniform And Uniformly Accelerated Linear Motion: An Accessible Approach For Physics Education In Timor-Leste
This study investigates the use of Tracker video analysis as an accessible tool for exploring uniform linear motion (ULM) and uniformly accelerated/decelerated linear motion (UALM) in a resource-limited physics education context in Timor-Leste. Motion experiments were recorded with a smartphone and analyzed using Tracker to obtain position-time and velocity-time data, which were processed in Microsoft Excel for curve fitting and residual inspection. For ULM, the velocity remained approximately constant at v = 1.47 m/s, with apparent acceleration fluctuating around zero due to numerical differentiation. In accelerated UALM, quadratic position time and linear velocity time fits yielded a consistent acceleration of a = 1.68 ± 0.04 m/s² with coefficients of determination R² greater than or equal to 0.93 and relative deviation approximately equal to 1.2%. Decelerated UALM exhibited a small negative acceleration (a = -0.0118 m/s²) with an initial velocity of Vo = 0.54 m/s, producing nearly linear position-time behavior and a residual error of RMSE = 3.88 m. These results demonstrate that Tracker can reliably identify motion types and extract kinematic parameters when combined with external data analysis. Potential pedagogical use is discussed; however, formal learning outcomes were not measured and are recommended for future investigation

Penerapan Model Problem Based Learning Pada Pembelajaran Fisika Untuk Meningkatkan Literasi Sains Siswa: Tinjauan Literatur
The low level of science literacy among Indonesian students, as reflected in the 2018 PISA scores (396, below the OECD average of 489), suggests that there are innovative learning approaches in physics. This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of implementing the problem-based learning (PBL) model for enhancing students' scientific literacy in physics education through a systematic literature review. The method used was a literature review based on bibliometric analysis with the assistance of the Publish or Perish and VOSviewer applications. The selection process from 100 articles resulted in 9 publications (8 journals, 1 proceeding) that met the inclusion criteria (range of years 2020–2025). The research results indicate that the PBL model consistently improves science literacy, with the average N-gain increase falling into the moderate category, as seen in Fadhila's (2022) study at 0.39 and Muladi & Suwarna's (2024) study at 0.67. Additionally, the implementation rate of PBL based on science literacy was also high at 98.8% (Wulandari & Setiani, 2025). PBL has proven effective when applied to various physics topics such as temperature and heat, magnetic fields, and optical instruments, supported by both digital (e-LKPD, Powtoon) and non-digital learning media. The evaluation instruments used include multiple-choice tests, essays, descriptions, and combinations. The conclusions of this study indicate that PBL significantly contributes to strengthening students' science literacy by fostering critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and connections between physics concepts and real life. These findings support the integration of PBL as a primary strategy in 21st-century competency-based physics education in Indonesia.

Kevalidan Instrumen Authentic Assessment Untuk Mengukur Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis Peserta Didik Pada Problem Based Learning (PBL) Materi Hukum Newton Tentang Gerak
This study developed an authentic assessment instrument based on Problem-Based Learning (PBL) to measure students' critical thinking skills in Newton's laws of motion. We used Thiagarajan's 4D model (1974) to adapt the Research and Development (R&D) method, which includes the following stages: (1) Define (analysis of needs at SMAN 1 Sukoharjo showed that 62% of teachers did not have adequate critical thinking assessment instruments, (2) Design (development of a rubric based on Ennis' indicators, 1996), (3) Develop (expert validation and empirical testing), and (4) Disseminate (limited implementation). Validation by three experts (2 lecturers and 1 teacher) resulted in an average score of 82.48% (highly valid), with details as follows: construct aspect (83.33%), substance (78.02%), and language (86.10%). A pilot test on 35 students using Rasch model analysis (Ministeps 5.4.1) confirmed that 12 items met validity criteria. The instrument has high reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha 0.81) and exceptional practicality (96.16% score based on teacher assessment). The uniqueness of this research lies in the integration of the PBL approach with an authentic assessment rubric structured according to problem-solving stages, as well as the use of Rasch analysis for empirical validation. These findings provide practical contributions for physics teachers in implementing 21st-century skills-based assessment while filling a gap in the literature on specific instruments for Newton's Law material.

Penerapan Video Animasi IPA Berbasis Saintifik Untuk Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Siswa Kelas VIII
This research aims to determine the improvement in learning outcomes of class VIII students at SMP YP Bakti Ibu 11 Lubuklinggau after implementing scientific-based science animation videos. The researcher also conducted interviews with class VIII students at SMP YP Bakti Ibu 11 Lubuklinggau who thought that physics science lessons had a lot of formulas and a lot of calculated material, therefore the view emerged from class VIII students at SMP YP Bakti Ibu 11 Lubuklinggau that physics science lessons were difficult. In learning process conditions like this, the learning process is mostly monotonous and the learning atmosphere is passive. Even though the learning media at school are in the form of textbooks, power points and e-modules, students should be more creative in looking for learning media from various sources. So with the background of the problem based on interviews with teachers and students, we need a physical science learning media that attracts students' attention and makes students motivated in learning Physics Science which is considered difficult because there are many calculations, and can support the learning process in the 2013 curriculum, so the researcher wants to implement scientific-based science animation video learning media which aims to make it easier for teachers to convey learning material concisely, and attract students' attention so that they are motivated to learn physics science so that students no longer think that physics science lessons are difficult because of the large number of calculations and formulas.
