This study aims to improve students’ learning outcomes in physics, particularly on the topic of Work and Energy, through the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model. The research was conducted at MA Al-Ikhwan Gotowasi involving Grade XI students during the odd semester of the 2023/2024 academic year. The study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design following the spiral model of Kemmis and McTaggart, consisting of two cycles, each comprising planning, action, observation, and reflection stages.

Data were collected through learning outcome tests and observation sheets that measured teacher and student activities during the learning process. The data were analyzed descriptively to examine improvements in students’ learning outcomes and learning engagement across cycles.

The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ learning outcomes after the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning model. In Cycle I, the percentage of students achieving the minimum mastery criterion increased to 57%, while in Cycle II, mastery learning further improved to 76%. In addition, observations revealed enhanced student engagement, collaborative problem-solving skills, and active participation during physics learning activities.

These findings suggest that the Problem-Based Learning model is effective in improving students’ learning outcomes and learning engagement in physics, even in educational contexts with limited laboratory facilities. Therefore, PBL can be considered a viable instructional alternative for physics teachers to promote meaningful learning and improve conceptual understanding of abstract physics topics such as Work and Energy.

Exploring Translation Challenges in English-to-Indonesian Physics Terminology

Fitri Novi Ramadani — 2025-12-18

This study aims to identify and analyse the difficulties encountered by physics education students in translating physics terminology from English to Indonesian. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through questionnaires and interviews involving 147 students from various universities in Indonesia. The obtained results show that the difficulty of scientific translation is expressed mainly in terminology with the least difficulty in the general understandability of sentences written in a scientific text – with the results below terminology (mean 4.17), grammatical structure (mean 4.15), understanding scientific concepts (mean 4.15), and the lack of experience and exposure to English-language physics sources (mean 4.15), with the overall level of difficulty categorized as very high (mean 4.22). One of the most significant indicators influencing scientific translation’s difficulty level is insufficient mastery of conceptual issues and poor study of the practice of transience. From the above, it can be recommended that when preparing a future translation, it is necessary to provide training in situational translation in the scientific field and provide him with greater access to foreign-language scientific literature in the field to streamline scientific translation’s end in the student’s physics education. Future studies can test the effectiveness of context-based scientific translation training and examine other factors (e.g., English proficiency and translation strategies) in a broader population.
