Physics is a subject that requires practical activities assisted by a worksheet to facilitate students in learning. Physics worksheets that have been designed according to learning needs can improve Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Skills involving analyzing, evaluating, and creating are thought to be of a higher order than the learning of facts and concepts which require different learning and teaching methods. However, the current student worksheets that aim to train HOTS still using hands-on practical activities. Meanwhile, learning with practical activities in this digital era has become more comfortable because of the rapid development of technology. In projectile motion topic learning, practical activities can be carried out through computer simulation, namely, PhET. This study aims to develop "ProSim", a student worksheet for practical activities that support HOTS through PhET Simulation in projectile motion topic learning using POE learning strategy. This study using the Dick and Carey model of research and development method. The data of this study was obtained from the results of validation by learning experts. The results of the worksheet feasibility test conducted by learning experts received an average percentage above 79%, which categorized "Good." [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The current learning process of science requires students not only to have cognitive abilities but also to be skilled in the learning process. The development of students' science process skills can be measured through several indicators, including: making observations, interpreting observations, classifying, planning experiments, and communicate using tools, predicting and applying concepts. The measuring indicators are related to the Project-Based Learning model, which trains students to do their work through the process of learning stages. This study aims to determine the effect of applying Project Based Learning models on students' science process skills. This research was a pre-experimental study using one group pretest-posttest design. The population of this study were students of MAN 5 Aceh Besar and obtained 40 students of the study sample using a purposive sampling technique. Data is collected from the results of measurement using the science process skills assessment instrument conducted by teachers to students. The instrument includes indicators of science process skills that want to measure before and after learning using the Project-Based Learning model. The data is then analyzed using the t-test formula and is obtained the result of tcount> ttable is 4.29> 1.73, which means Ha is accepted. Based on these results it can be concluded that the application of the Project-Based Learning model is effectively applied to improve the ability of students' science processes at MAN 5 Aceh Besar on Static Fluid topic.

The successful implementation of STEM-based physics learning in the K13 curriculum to improve student creativity is certainly inseparable from the teacher's skills to design and develop learning devices. This study aims to analyze the skills of high school physics teachers in developing STEM-based learning in Curriculum K13. This data was obtained from the answers of 133 high school physics teachers in Aceh Province to the questionnaire instruments that were given. The questionnaire was compiled based on six main basic skills components TPACK teachers in developing and implementing learning consisting of Technological Knowledge (TK), Pedagogical Knowledge (PK), Content Knowledge (CK), Technological Content Knowledge (PCK), Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), and Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK). The results of the descriptive statistical analysis, in general, showed that the average high school physics teacher was able to design STEM-based learning in the K13 curriculum. However, the six components of TPACK ability measured, 25.40% of teachers were still difficult on CK ability, 20.03% of teachers were still difficult on PCK ability, and for other TPACK components below 20%. The empirical results of this study are expected to be used as a guideline to improve the ability of high school physics teachers to develop STEM-based learning in the K13 curriculum.

The present study aims at investigating the impact of brainstorming method on the students' questioning and inductive thinking skills as well as their learning outcomes. The quantitative approach, quasi-experimental method, and Pretest-Posttest Groups Design were used in this study. A total of 2 classes were randomly selected from 4 classes, each of which was employed as the experimental group (28 students) and control group (26 students). For data collection, the test was utilized to obtain the learning outcome while the non-test to obtain the increased questioning and inductive thinking skills. The descriptive statistics and N-Gain analysis were used as data analysis techniques. The results indicate a significant increase in the learning outcomes, significant differences in the questions, and inductive thinking skills after the instruction using a brainstorming method had been provided. An increase occurs in the questioning and inductive thinking skills between the first and third meetings. Based on the three results obtained, it is concluded that the use of brainstorming method in learning the Static Fluid material can extremely improve the students' learning outcomes, and inductive thinking and questioning skills. It is highly recommended that teachers use the brainstorming method as an alternative method in order to enhance students' learning outcomes, questioning, and inductive thinking.

This research aims to determine the quality of softball hitting skills and improve knowledge about momentum and impulses in the use of instructional DVD media softball hitting techniques that are integrated with the concept of momentum and impulse material. This study uses a quasi-experimental research method. The quality of softball hitting skills is measured using an observation sheet, while the increase in students' knowledge in material momentum and impulses is measured using n-gain values from the pre-test and post-test results. The results show that the class given additional treatment in the form of instructional DVD media use is better than the control class. In measuring the quality of softball hitting skills, the results show that the experimental class contained seven students with excellent skills, six students with good skills, and three students needed improvement. Whereas in the control class there were only four students with very good skills and five students with good skills, the remaining seven students needed improvement again. As for the increase in knowledge about momentum and impulses, the experimental class with a gain value of 0.81 (high improvement) is superior to the control class with a gain value of only 0.55 (medium improvement). Based on the results and discussion, it can be concluded that the use of instructional DVD media on the technique of hitting a softball ball that is integrated with the concept of momentum and impulse material has a great influence on the quality of softball hitting skills and increasing knowledge about momentum and impulses.
