Communicating Wave Energy: An Active Learning Experience For Students

Abstract

ABSTRACT

A contextual semi assisted project-based learning (SA-PjBL) about ocean wave energy: Creative thinking of pre-service physics teachers

“…The other hands, they have even been able to provide input to solve problems faced by other groups. In this stage, some researchers agreed that the indicators of creative thinking skills that can be trained were the ability of students to present the products, taken responsibility for the products, and found the answers to problems that have been identified at the beginning of the project creatively (Anazifa & Djukri, 2017;Huynh et al, 2016;Sasson et al, 2018;Uziak, 2016). Evidence that strengthens that the success of creative thinking skills was equipped through SA-PjBL is the N-gain data shown in Figure 3.…”

“…High initial installation costs and low efficiency are the biggest obstacles in wave energy projects (Assis et al, 2014). In addition, exploration of ocean wave energy is currently still in its early stages and the wave energy utilization system is only a prototype testing stage (Huynh et al, 2016). Apart from these obstacles, another obstacle faced is the lack of human resources with expertise in this field (Ditjen EBTKE, 2013).…”

“…Efforts to introduce renewable energy have been made by several researchers, namely Dinantika et al (2019) introducing the concept of renewable energy about wind energy through the application of a project-based learning model with an orientation to increase student creative thinking skills; Penalba et al (2017) teaches the concept of renewable energy about wind energy through a Project-Based Learning Model assisted by concept maps to increase student activity and learning outcomes; O' Mara and Jennings (2001) seeks to introduce the concept of renewable energy about solar energy and wind energy through world wide web technology; Grivokostopoulou et al (2015) introduced wind energy, heat energy, and solar energy through 3D virtual world techno-logy. Of the several efforts and studies that have been carried out, there is only one study that has a research focus on ocean wave energy, namely research conducted by Huynh et al (2016), which communicates about ocean wave energy through active learning assisted by wave energy virtual reality system media without having the orientation to develop 21st-century skills of learners. And only one study has attempted to introduce the concept of renewable energy while equipping students with important skills and that is not the concept of ocean wave energy.…”

A Contextual Semi-Assisted Project-Based Learning on Ocean Wave Energy: Pre-service Physics Teachers’ Perceptions

“…This is due to the low interest of students who take the major in this field, so that until now very few human resources have knowledge and competence in this field. This study in low innovation in technology development in the field of ocean wave energy utilization (Huynh, Hou, & Wang, 2016).…”

“…The education system in Indonesia that does not introduce material about renewable energy comprehensively in schools has resulted in students not being interested in continuing their studies and even not interested in a career in renewable energy. Therefore, it really needs to be introduced early to the community, especially high school students about the scope of renewable energy so that they are interested in studying and having a career in the field of renewable energy (Huynh, Hou, & Wang, 2016). This is where the role of a teacher is to make students interested and understand the concept of renewable energy comprehensively despite the lack of facilities available in schools.…”
