“Philipp Lenard and Cathode Rays” - the development of comics for Physics learning

Lenard conducted a study on the photoelectron-emitted energy that varies with the intensity of the light. Lenard observed that the maximal energy of the emitted electron was independent of the light color but noted that shorter wavelength light with higher frequency resulted in increased energy of the ejected electron. Lenard received the Nobel Prize in 1905 in recognition of his contributions to the field of cathode rays. Lenard’s research on cathode rays is a historical plot that is rarely presented on the photoelectric effect material in schools. Because of these conditions, students are less interested in studying concepts and phenomena in physics. The essential criterion for captivating visual learning media is the effective and enjoyable delivery of information. One of the strategies to enhance educational outcomes is the provision of captivating alternative learning resources, such as comics. This is because comics possess the unique ability to amalgamate information, creativity, and enjoyment, so fostering an engaging learning experience. This study resulted in comics about Philip Lenard and his research on cathode rays presented as simple cartoon images. The results of user’s perceptions show that the comics produced are worthy of being an alternative learning media in schools.

Cybersickness Response among Nursing Students in using Virtual Reality: A Pre-Experimental Study

The rapid growth of information and communication technology, such as virtual reality, affects students’ learning outcomes and their success in providing health services in the future. However, prolonged use of immersive technology could lead to health problems due to repetitive interaction with hardware devices, resulting in a sensory conflict called cybersickness. This study aimed to identify the cybersickness response among nursing students in using virtual reality. This research used a pre-experiment design, and a total of 49 nursing students participated. The Simulator Sickness Questionnaire was used to assess cybersickness and physiological responses. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The median post-test values for the three components (nausea, oculomotor, disorientation) in cybersickness were 28.7; 45.5; 83.6; and 606.1, respectively. We found statistically significant differences in cybersickness between pre- and post-intervention periods (p < .001). Heart rate and body temperature increased significantly (p < .001; p < .001, respectively), while in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased (p < .001). According to the findings, using VR as an alternative learning media could initiate cybersickness on a certain level. Thus, the physiological response would be different for each participant.
