TPACK expression patterns in preservice teachers' design of innovative physics teaching and learning materials

AbstractBackgroundTPACK is a widely used framework for assessing teachers' competence in integrating technology in education. However, previous studies have shown varying interpretations of the relationship between TPACK elements. Qualitative studies that assess the manifestations of TPACK by examining the practices of pre‐service teachers are rare.ObjectivesThis study investigates technology integration in innovative physics teaching and learning materials designed by pre‐service teachers and the manifestation of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) in empirical cases.MethodsWe qualitatively extracted the components of PCK, TPK, and TCK from the innovative physics teaching and learning materials developed by 22 pre‐service teachers in their fourth year at a teachers' college in South Korea. We scored them based on the new evaluation criteria established in this study.Results and ConclusionsBased on the materials, we identified three types of technology integration: Learning Materials Providing, Learning Activity Providing, and Virtual Experiments Creating. This study identifies teachers' level of TK and integrates it with TPACK expression. Results confirm the connection between TK and TCK and show that a strong PCK can serve as a basis for TPK. The TPACK expression pattern can help achieve balanced development of TPACK in teacher education.

Profile Analysis of Students' Problem-Solving Abilities on Impulse-Momentum Physics Material

The potential possessed by students is not only contextual. However, it must be comprehensive and essentially understand the concept of science. Based on the results of a preliminary study conducted at SMAN 2 Garut using interview techniques with Physics teachers, it was revealed that students' learning in schools had implemented various learning models. The achievement of learning outcomes from each learning model is different depending on how the implementation of the learning model is carried out by adjusting the appropriate learning materials. Characteristics of students who are different in the class cause various student responses to differ from the learning model. The average student learning achievement in the aspect of problem-solving at the school for physics is 22% overall. The learning model will be judged appropriate for the material if, in the delivery of learning materials, students can achieve appropriate learning objectives and with certain aspects of the learning component by using indicators of achievement of certain aspects. Students' problem-solving ability in learning Physics subjects has difficulty because students' understanding of learning materials is only theoretical and focused on problem-solving through various formulas or equations in Physics learning materials. Initiating learning with various active learning models with various stimuli and involving student participation makes it easier for students to understand learning materials. The highest answer analysis on problem description questions is 26.5625% with the lowest and lowest criteria on the assessment of the logical procession aspect of 12% which represents the student's problem ability profile is still low on this material.

Preliminary study of physics e-module development using research-based learning model through smartphone to support digital learning in the revolutionary 4.0

The era of revolution 4.0 emphasizes the application of technology in life, including education. Example of the application of technology in education is digital learning which helps students teach technology to help them in the future. In physics learning, the use of technology is still not optimal. This is indicated by Physics learning materials used in schools that are still in print and learning activities are still centred on the teacher face-to-face. The spread of the Corona virus causes learning activities cannot be done face-to-face because not all schools are permitted to carry out learning activities. Therefore we need electronic learning materials that are able to improve the competence of attitudes, knowledge and skills of students even though not face-to-face. E-module with Research-based Learning model through smartphone is very appropriate learning material used to improve these three competencies and support digital learning. This study analyzes e-module development using Research-based Learning model in 10th grade physics subject on the first semester that discusses the analysis of needs, characteristics of students, materials and task analysis. Research method used is quantitative descriptive research with research sample are students of SMAN 10 Padang, SMAN 12 Padang and SMA Pertiwi 1 Padang.

Physics undergraduate students’ perceptions of online learning during the transition period to the new normal era

The Covid-19 pandemic forced the Indonesian government to release learning from home policy. This policy also applies to the Physics Education of Siliwangi University. This study aims to know undergraduate students’ perceptions of online learning during the transition period from face-to-face learning to online learning in Physics context. Undergraduate students’ perceptions of online learning are seen from aspects of access to technology, technology for learning, online learning readiness, and attitude towards digital technology literacy. The data is collected by an online survey method. This research shows that most undergraduate students have sufficient facilities for online learning and have a positive attitude towards digital technology literacy. Another finding from the study is that the majority of undergraduate students have difficulty accessing the fast internet (83.87%). Undergraduate students like a combination of online media learning and offline media learning (90.32%), but they do not like full online learning (98.06%). This research indicates that teachers should support students at online learning by providing proper Physics learning material and media. This research is expected to suggest better online learning and literacy technology in Physics context in the new normal era.

Augmented Reality for Early Language Learning: A Systematic Review of Augmented Reality Application Design, Instructional Strategies, and Evaluation Outcomes

In this article, we present a systematic review of literature on augmented reality (AR) supported for early language learning. We analyzed a total of 53 papers from 2010 to 2019 using qualitative analysis with complementary descriptive quantitative analysis. Our findings revealed three main AR learning activities: word spelling games, word knowledge activities, and location-based word activities. Our findings also uncovered five main design strategies: three-dimensional multimedia content, hands-on interaction with physical learning materials, gamification, spatial mappings, and location-based features. Several combinations of design and instructional strategies tended to be effective: Learning gains were enhanced by using three-dimensional multimedia with advanced organizers (presentation strategy) and/or using location-based content with learners’ self-exploration (discovery strategy); and motivation was enhanced by using game mechanisms with discovery strategy. We suggest that future designers of AR early language applications should move beyond these basic approaches and consider how unique benefits of AR may be applied to support key activities in early language learning while also considering how to support sociotechnical factors such as collaboration between teachers and learners and different learning contexts. We conclude with a discussion of future directions for research in this emerging space.
