Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan motivasi dengan hasil belajar IPA siswa kelas VIII di SMP Negeri Se-Kecamatan Jambi Selatan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif  dengan jenis  korelasional. Variabel bebas yaitu motivasi belajar dan variabel terikat yaitu hasil IPA siswa. Instrumen pengumpulan data menggunakan angket motivasi belajar dan soal tes hasil belajar IPA  materi Usaha dan Energi. Teknik analisis data terdiri dari uji normalitas,  dan uji korelasi dengan taraf signifikasin 5% dengan program SPSS. Hasil korelasi motivasi belajar dengan hasil belajar adalah 0,356 dengan sig 0,00 < 0,05 maka H0 ditolak. Terdapat korelasi yang signifikan antara motivasi belajar dengan hasil belajar IPA pada siswa kelas VIII di SMP Negeri  di Kecamatan Jambi Selatan.

This research is motivated by the difficulties experienced by students in understanding gas kinetic theory material and the limitations of multimedia teaching materials possessed by teachers. The purpose of this study is to develop a physics-based e-module based on the Scientific Approach using 3D Professional Pageflipp on the gas kinetic theory material and to determine students' perceptions of the e-modules developed. This type of research is research and development using the ADDIE development model (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation). This research only reached the Development stage. The resulting e-module serves as a source of student independent learning and teaching materials that can be used by students in the classroom in the learning process based on the Scientific Approach. The results of this study are e-module that were developed through a validation process by a team of experts and were declared eligible to be tested on students. From the results of testing the students' perception data it was concluded that this e-module is good for use in the learning process.

Alat peraga termometer gas tipe volume konstan memiliki peran penting sebagai media pembelajaran yang dapat membantu para mahasiswa agar dapat memahami konsep suhu mutlak secara lebih mudah dan konkrit. Mengingat alat ini sulit dijumpai di pasaran maka sangat perlu dilakukan usaha untuk membuat dan mengembangkan alat tersebut. Tujuan penelitian pengembangan ini adalah untuk menghasilkan produk berupa alat peraga termometer gas tipe volume tetap yang lebih baik dari yang ada. Metode penelitian yang  digunakan adalah penelitian pengembangan yang meliputi penelitian dan pengumpulan data, perencanaan, pengembangan draf produk, pengembangan bahan pembelajaran, proses pembelajaran, dan instrumen evaluasi, uji coba lapangan awal, uji coba lapangan, penyempurnaan produk hasil uji lapangan, penyempurnaan produk akhir dan  implementasi.

The limited time and low participation of students in discussion activities in the classroom causes the optimal process of lecturing, especially in the subjects of statistical physics. On the other hand, the rapid development of information technology and social media and the occurrence of a paradigm shift in learning to be an active creative education bring challenges and solutions. The number of lecturers and students who use social media Whatsapp, media that allows sharing of information online, easy, fast and cheap, is an alternative solution for the not optimal learning process in the classroom so far. So it is necessary to do research that produces a social media-based technology integration model for discussion activities outside the classroom. This type of research takes the form of research and development. The process of developing learning media with online discussion using whatsapp refers to the Four-D development model which includes 4 stages: Define, design, development, and Dissemination. The results generated are whatsapp-based online discussion models that can be used as a reference for educators who will utilize whatsapp social media in learning both in school and college. Keywords: information technology, Whatsapp, online discussion, integration model

Quantum wave packet is one of the well-known topics which is difficult to the students because of its abstract, mathematical and complex characteristics. Web-based simulations, as learning media of quantum physics course, are widely available on the Internet, this research aimed to review and evaluate several versions of quantum wave-packet web-based simulations. This paper was part of the preliminary study in developing ICT-based quantum physics learning modules at Jambi University. It was found that there were 4 websites that provided a high-quality web-based simulation for teaching and learning of quantum wave packet. The simulations were evaluated based on the hierarchical framework and evaluation of educational software method including proposed additional criteria for more specific evaluation. The quantum wave-packet simulation of PhET version gets the highest score, followed by the Schroeder with a slightly different score, Quvis and Physlet version are in the lower position. However, in terms of convenience for users to run directly in the browser, the ease to perform modifications according to user needs, and having another supporting simulation, the Schroeder version is a better learning media. In addition, as the java platform often has compatible issues with many popular browsers, Schroeder version which is HTML-based simulation is more preferable. The performance highlights of each simulation and its specific comparison results are also discussed.
