Implementation of online problem-based learning assisted by digital book with 3D animations to improve student's physics problem-solving skills in magnetic field subject

Abstract

The magnetic field is a more complex and abstract physics subject than other physics subjects, causing students' low ability to solve problems. So there is a need for learning instruments to overcome these problems, especially when online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research creates and implements an online problem-based learning (OPBL) assisted by digital books with 3D animation to improve students' physics problem-solving skills on magnetic field subjects. Research aimed to analyze the validity, effectiveness, and student responses to the learning instruments used. The method used in this research is quantitative by using quasi-experiment and survey methods. The results showed that this learning instrument was valid and reliable to use in terms of content and constructs. According to statistical test results, this learning instrument is also effective in improving students' problem-solving skills on magnetic field subjects. Furthermore, the student's response to this learning instrument was very positive, making this learning activity more innovative and fun. Research implies that an OPBL assisted by digital books with 3D animation instruments can be a solution to improve students' physics problem-solving skills, especially during the online learning period.

A Profile of Senior High School Students’ Problem-solving Skills on Dynamic Fluid Materials

“…There are several ways to improve the low level of problemsolving, for example, by designing a valid, practical, and effective problem-solving learning [27,28]. The application of research results related to students' problem-solving skills can help to address students' low problem-solving abilities, such as (1) PBL (Problem-Based Learning) models have been proven to improve students' problem-solving abilities [24,26]; (2) The CTL (Contextual Teaching and Learning) model can improve problem-solving skills [13,28,29]; (3) Improving learning media and learning tools that are relevant in improving students problem-solving skills [30][31][32]; (4) Familiarize students in solving everyday life problems [33][34][35][36]. The abovementioned solutions can be used as an alternative by teachers as a suitable learning model supported by relevant learning media to improve students' problem-solving [37][38][39].…”

Improving high school students’ Physics learning outcomes using mind maps

“…Natural phenomena are formed by the interaction of various physical quantities [16]. Physics is a subject that is often found in everyday life [17]. Physics subject is a subject in the science family that can develop students' inductive and deductive analytical thinking in solving problems both qualitatively and quantitatively and can develop knowledge, skills, and self-confidence [18].…”

Problem-based learning using e-module: Does it effect on student’s high order thinking and learning interest in studying geography?

“…HOTS differ between successful and unsuccessful students (Cox, Elen & Steegen, 2019). PBL can develop and enhance students' HOTS and critical thinking skills (Prahani et al, 2022). Students can better understand the value and relevance of the learning through authentic learning (Iucu & Marin, 2014).…”

“…PBL encourages students to participate in learning activities that call for HOTS and gives them the opportunity to solve challenging real-world situations. (Prahani, Rizki, Nisa', Citra, Alhusni & Wibowo, 2022). According to Vygotsky, A constructivist theory known as sociocultural focuses on how the social environment influences learning (Schunk, 2012).…”
