Comparison of the Effect of Using Virtual Laboratory Based on PhET Simulation and Real Laboratory in Improving Mastery of Electronic Concepts of Physics Education Students

This study aimed to compare the mastery of electronic concepts among physics education students using a constructivist virtual laboratory (PhET Simulation) and a real constructivist laboratory. The importance of this research lies in the potential of virtual laboratories as an alternative to physical ones, especially when resources are limited. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a matching-only posttest-only control group. The sample consisted of 68 physics education students from UIN Alauddin Makassar, divided into two groups: one using PhET Simulation (34 students) and the other using real laboratories (34 students). Data were collected through multiple-choice tests designed to measure concept mastery, analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential tests such as t-tests. The results showed no significant difference in concept mastery between students using PhET Simulation and those using real laboratories (t =-0.167, p= 0.868). Both methods were equally effective in enhancing students’ understanding of electronics. The novelty of this study lies in directly comparing the two laboratory approaches within a constructivist framework. This finding suggests that virtual laboratories can serve as a viable alternative to real laboratories in supporting concept mastery, offering flexibility and resource efficiency. The implications of the study are particularly relevant for educational institutions with limited access to physical laboratories, as PhET Simulation provides a cost-effective solution without compromising learning outcomes.

From conventional to Islamic banks: Factors affecting customer interests and decision making in selecting banks

The phenomenon of increasing customers of take-over financing from conventional banks to Islamic banks is an interesting trend to study. This research purpose is to investigate the influence of murabahah financing margins, customer religiosity to customer interest and decision making. The method used is a sequential mixed method. The instrument quantitative is a questionnaire, and the qualitative method is an interview. 199 pensioner customers participated in the survey. Internal consistency is measured by Cronbach’s alpha value. The accuracy of the structural equation modeling (SEM) and hypothesis testing was evaluated using AMOS version 23. The research findings indicate, there was a significant influence between customer religiosity on customer interest and customer interest on decision making. Meanwhile, the murabahah financing margin has no significant influence on customer interest and decision making, as well as between customer religiosity and decision making. Murabahah financing margins and customer religiosity have an influence of significance when mediated by the variable of customer interest. In conclusion, Murabahah financing margin, and customer religiosity does not have a direct significant influence on decision making without being mediated by the variable of customer interest. These results indicate that Islamic bank managers can take advantage of this research variable to increase customer interest so that customer decision making also increases. This study has practical implications for conventional banks and sharia banks. Sharia banks are an opportunity to attract customers from conventional banks, while conventional banks are a challenge because their customers have the potential to take over Islamic banks. AcknowledgmentsThe authors are grateful to the Rector of the State Islamic Institute of Sultan Amai Gorontalo, and the State Islamic University of Alauddin Makassar for funding this research collaboratively, and to the respondents who have taken the time to fill out the research questionnaire so that research data can be collected.

A STUDY ON VISUAL CONTENT OF INFOGRAPHIC MEDIA HIERARCHY AS TEACHING MATERIAL ON BIOLOGY MATERIAL

The development of technology makes learning media to be interestingly used and makes the material to be easy to understand. An interestingly learning media is infographic media. Infographic media become an effective teaching material in biology learning. Infographic media is closely related to the visual role of hierarchy. Visual hierarchy is one aspect that eases readers to understand information in a structured and systematic manner. The method used in the research is exploratory descriptive. The researcher collected general information related to teaching materials on biology materials and research studies from UIN Alauddin Makassar Biology Education students who used infographic media as teaching materials. Analysis of visual literacy used the theory of visual hierarchy. In terms of visual hierarchy, three teaching material media have been implemented to a good visual hierarchy. The content through a combination of colors, shapes or elements, a good layout, and the selection of created text models becomes contrast. It is because a good understanding of the visual hierarchy can create an infographic that is not only aesthetic but also comfortable for readers to read. Infographic media teaching materials used in viral materials, the phylum Echinodermata, and the digestive system have followed an appropriate visual hierarchy as teaching material media. Of the three infographic media as teaching materials above, of course, they have followed the visual hierarchy.
