DESIGN OF A PHYPHOX-ASSISTED PBL-BASED ELECTRONIC STUDENT WORKSHEET TO FACILITATE STUDENTS’ CREATIVE THINKING SKILLS IN THE TOPIC OF MOTION ALONG A STRAIGHT LINE

Abstract

The creative thinking skills of students at SMAN 1 Lembah Melintang in physics classes remain low. Preliminary test results show an average creative thinking skill score of 33%. Meanwhile, the use of teaching materials and laboratory activities has not been optimal, so teaching materials are needed that can facilitate a more active problem-solving and inquiry process. This study aims to develop PBL-based Electronic Student Worksheets supported by Phyphox on the topic of Motion Along a Straight Line and to determine the validity and practicality of the product. This study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using Plomp’s development model, which consists of a preliminary research phase, a prototyping phase, and an assessment phase. The study was limited to the prototyping phase, which included prototype design, self-evaluation, expert review, one-to-one evaluation, and small-group evaluation. The one-on-one evaluation involved 3 students, while the small-group evaluation involved 9 students and 2 physics teachers. The validity of the product was analyzed using Aiken’s V index, while its practicality was assessed based on the percentage of scores from teachers and students. The results showed that the Electronic Student Worksheet achieved an average Aiken’s V score of 0.93, falling into the “valid” category. The practicality test yielded a percentage of 92% from teacher evaluations and 89.25% from student evaluations; both results fell into the “highly practical” category. This study was limited to testing the validity and practicality of the product, while testing the effectiveness of the Electronic Student Worksheet on students’ creative thinking skills can be conducted by future researchers. The developed Electronic Student Worksheet meets the criteria for validity and is highly practical for use as supplementary teaching material in physics instruction on the topic of motion along a straight line.
