Abstract

Not all physics concepts must be understood and mastered by deriving formulas through differential or integral techniques. Mechanics, for example, can be understood with simple logic without formulas, variables, and numbers. The fun method, or known as the GASING method, is a science learning method that has been offered by Yohanes Surya since 1996. This method offers fun learning activities for students. This research is a literature review of several books and research articles related to learning physics science using top methods. It turns out that with the spinning method, the concepts of velocity and acceleration in straight motion material can be understood easily and can solve some physics problems about straight motion without complicated physics formulas. All these physics problems are solved by simple logic and expressed in words.

Highlights

One of the demands of learning in the 21st century is how students can improve their ability to think at a higher level, namely critical and creative [1,2], which is Bloom's revised Anderson taxonomy enters cognitive levels: C4, C5 and C6 [3,4,5,6]
Physics is regarded as a complicated subject to study [8,9] because physics is always associated with memorizing numbers and formulas
The results of this study indicate that: 1) There is a significant difference in conceptual understanding between groups of students who use conventional learning methods and groups of students who use top learning; 2) There is a significant difference in conceptual understanding between groups of students who have high interest and groups of students who have low interest, and 3) There is a significant interaction effect between the implementation of the Gasing method with high and low-interest rates on high level thinking on conceptual understanding [15,16,17,18]

Summary

Introduction

One of the demands of learning in the 21st century is how students can improve their ability to think at a higher level, namely critical and creative [1,2], which is Bloom's revised Anderson taxonomy enters cognitive levels: C4 (analyzing), C5 (evaluating) and C6 (creating) [3,4,5,6]. Physics is regarded as a complicated subject to study [8,9] because physics is always associated with memorizing numbers and formulas. Not all material in physics must be understood by deriving and memorizing formulas. Some materials can be understood using simple logic Another thing students do not like about physics is teaching methods that are less fun and teacher competencies that are not by their educational background
