MATLAB-based physics calculator: alternative for learning media for work and energy concept

Abstract

Physics concept makes students less understanding of differential equations of the concept of business and energy. Learning about basic physics about effort and energy can be done with the MATLAB program in the form of a physics calculator by simulating physics formulas. This research uses development research methods (R&D) with 4D development model (Define, Design, Development, and Dissemination). Matlab-based physics calculator are created using Matlab software through a multimedia development format that formula, simulation and theory. The test of the product response was applied on 29 the students. The response items were measured using the Likert scale from 1 to 4 scales. The analysis technique was descriptive statistics. For media expert validation assessment is 3.43 and for material expert validation is 3.64. Overall the result of student response analysis indicates that this physics calculator is good (3.21 out of 4) for use in learning. Basic physics learning with the help of an MATLAB-based physics calculator can help students understand their coursework in a simulated form.

Physics calculator application with matlab as a learning media to thermodynamics concept

“…Matlab can display graphs, text material, practice questions, and a physics calculator. Matlab can be used as a physics learning medium to display the physics concept simulation process (Mushtaq et al, 2014;Sumarni et al, 2021). This is in line with the opinion that learning media has an important influence on the classroom's learning process (Rahmelina et al, 2019;Stathopoulou et al, 2019).…”

“…Many have developed physics calculator applications, such as Joshua's research in making physics calculators on GLB and GLBB materials (Yosua et al, 2020). In addition, several studies have created physics calculators on the concepts of physical quantities, work, and energy (Sumarni et al, 2021). The research that has been done only displays a physics calculator and has not yet been applied to practice physics questions so that when understanding physics, students seem to memorize it.…”

“…In addition, the physics calculator created can also be used to assist in understanding the task in the form of a simulation. (Sumarni et al, 2021).…”

Implementasi Project Based Learning Untuk Mengeksplorasi Kemampuan Computational Thinking Mahasiswa

“…Integrasi teknologi dalam pembelajaran dapat berupa media pembelajaran yang memerlukan komputer dan aplikasi dalam pengaksesannya, e-learning, e-modul, atau aplikasi learning Management System (LMS) (Dieker et al, 2017;Hadullo et al, 2017;Lutfiyah & Sulisawati, 2019;Maré & Mutezo, 2020;Zamzami Zainuddin, 2018). Media pembelajaran berbasis komputer yang sering digunakan pada penelitian sebelumnya yaitu berbantuan aplikasi Matlab (Gil, 2017;Setyansah & Apriandi, 2019;Sumarni et al, 2021). Media yang dikembangkan dengan memanfaatkan Matlab berupa game, modul online, dan media interaktif yang berisi materi, latihan soal, dan kuis.…”
