Abstract This study aims to determine the implementation of learning using Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning model (POGIL) and the influence of application of POGIL learning model to the critical thinking skills of students. The method used in this research was pre-experimental design, with the one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample of this research was class X MIA E which amounted to 36 people selected by using simple random sampling technique. The results showing the average of all teacher activity of meetings was 88.88% and 87.04% for the students' activities were in the very good category. In addition, there was an increase in the critical thinking skills of students on the static fluid concept of 0.61 which was included in the medium category. Thus, POGIL learning model can be used as an alternative in improving students' critical thinking skills on the static fluid concept. Keywords: POGIL, critical thinking skills, static fluid Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui keterlaksanaan pembelajaran menggunakan model Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) dan pengaruh penerapan model pembelajaran POGIL terhadap keterampilan berpikir kritis peserta didik. Metode dalam penelitian ini menggunakan pre-experimental design, dengan desain one-group pretest-posttest. Sampel penelitian ini yaitu kelas X MIA E yang berjumlah 36 orang yang dipilih dengan menggunakan teknik simple random sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rata-rata seluruh pertemuan aktivitas guru sebesar 88,88% dan aktivitas peserta didik 87,04% yang termasuk pada kategori sangat baik. Selain itu, terdapat peningkatan keterampilan berpikir kritis peserta didik pada materi fluida statis sebesar 0,61 yang termasuk pada kategori sedang. Dengan demikian, model pembelajaran POGIL dapat dijadikan sebagai alternatif dalam meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir kritis peserta didik pada materi fluida statis. Kata-kata Kunci: POGIL, keterampilan berpikir kritis, fluida statis

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor perpindahan atau jarak terhadap kinematika gerak lurus. Jenis penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dan kualitatif yang terperinci, terstruktur, jelas dan teranalisis. Penelitian yang dilakukan dengan praktikum menggunakan alat kereta dinamika dan kereta dinamika motor serta alat pendukung lainnya. Dalam penelitian ini, ada beberapa ketentuan jarak atau perpindahan yang akan digunakan, untuk menganalisis secara langsung bagaimana perubahan faktor yang lainnya terhadap kinematika gerak lurus ketika faktor perpindahan berubah-ubah. Dalam penelitian ini juga, menganalisis serta mengidentifikasi perubahan grafik hubungan terhadap waktu pada GLB dan GLBB.

Reading comprehension of physics texts is a neglected area in physics curricula. This article reports an investigation the critical reading of physics texts among students of physics education. Students’ performance reading comprehension on science text were investigated using reading comprehension test. Students’ reading comprehension of science texts are tested with the help of reading comprehension which is designed with reference to TOEFL reading test and translated into Bahasa Indonesia. Eight component skills of comprehension were examined. To assess the skill a reading comprehension of physics texts, true-false-unreported tests were used. It was found that the skill required to discriminate unreported statements from the others (true and false) was found to be of a higher level. Total of 67 students of physics education  at a college in Bandung  participated  in the study. It was found that students’ reading comprehension of science texts and physics texts were at lower level. These findings support the importance of incorporating training of reading comprehension strategy of the science text into the curricula.

Keterampilan menulis materi ajar perlu dilatihkan kepada mahasiswa calon guru selama masa studinya. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan stategi  menulis materi ajar multimodus representasi. Dengan menerapkan strategi tertentu diharapkan mahasiswa calon guru fisika meningkat dalam hal keterampilan menulis materi ajar fisika yang di dalamnya menyajikan gabungan dua atau lebih modus representasi. Metoda yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metoda penelitian dan pengembangan (Research and Development Methods). Tahap-tahap yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini  meliputi studi pendahuluan, perencanaan, mengembangkan rancangan strategi pembelajaran, ujicoba pendahuluan, merevisi produk dan ujicoba utama. Dengan menggunakan metode R & D telah dikembangkan strategi menulis materi ajar multimodus representasi yaitu Triple Step Writing Strategy (TS-WS). Ujicoba pendahuluan (pleriminary field testing) menggunakan metode pre-experiment desain the one group pretest-posttest design. Ujicoba utama (main field testing) menggunakan metode quasi-expeiment desain randomized pretest-posttest control group design. TS-WS sudah diujicobakan pada mahasiswa calon guru fisika yang berusia rata-rata 21 tahun pada sebuah LPTK di Bandung. Ujicoba pendahuluan melibatkan 15 mahasiswa calon guru fisika dan ujicoba utama 45 mahasiswa calon guru fisika. Untuk mengukur keterampilan menulis materi ajar multimodus representasi mahasiswa ditugaskan untuk menulis materi ajar multimodus representasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa TS-WS efektif dalam meningkatkan keterampilan menulis materi ajar multimodus representasi  mahasiswa calon guru fisika. Triple step writing strategy: Improving multimode representation teaching material writing skills of preservice physics teacher Abstract: Writing teaching material skills need to be taught to the preservice teachers during their studies. This study aims to develop strategies to write multiple modes of representations teaching materials. By implementing these strategies, it is expected that preservice physics teachers are able to write physics teaching materials that present a combination of two or more modes of representation. The method used in this research is Research and Development (R & D) method. The stages of R & D methods carried out in this study include research and information collecting activities, planning activities, developing learning strategy designs, preliminary field testing, main product revision, and main field testing. Using the R & D method, a strategy has been developed to improve writing teaching material skills. Preliminary field testing used the one-group pretest-posttest design pre-experiment method. Main field testing used a quasi-experiment design randomized pretest-posttest control group design method. The strategies have been tested on preservice physics teachers who were on average 21 years old at an LPTK in Bandung. The preliminary field testing involved 15 preservice physics teachers and the main field testing was 45 preservice physics teachers. To measure the skills of writing multiple modes of representation teaching materials students are assigned to write multimodal representation teaching materials. The results showed that TS-WS was effective in improving the skill of writing multimodal representations of teaching materials for pre-service physics teachers.
