Improving student involvement in physics statistics through e-task

Abstract

The Open Educational Resources (OER) media is used in distance lectures in Statistical Physics to increase student learning resources. However, OER needs to support distance lectures optimally. Therefore, a case-based E-task is needed as an alternative solution. This study investigated the effect of using e-Task on student involvement in Statistical Physics lectures. This type of research is quasi-experimental. This research was conducted in semester 2021.2 at the Open University, involving a sample of students taking statistical physics courses in the Physics Education program. The data analysis technique used was the independent sample t-test, with the data being normally distributed and homogeneous. Based on the results of the independent sample t-test analysis above, it can be concluded that the experimental class has a higher score than the control class, namely the attendance percentage is 100, the discussion percentage is 80.8, and case-based e-task solving is 7.3. It shows that there is a significant difference between the experimental class and the control class. Thus the use of e-task can increase student involvement in Statistical Physics lectures.
