Development of Physics Learning Media : A Literature Review

Abstract

Objective: The primary objective of this study is to investigate the development of physics learning tools by comparing the forms of digital and conventional media, along with their respective impacts. Method: The employed methodology involves a comprehensive literature review, defined as an inquiry into scholarly articles, books, and other sources related to the issue, research field, or specific theory. Literature review is characterized by providing a general overview, summarization, and evaluation of scholarly works. The research method encompasses multiple steps, including: (1) Identifying topics related to Assessment as Learning and metacognitive skills. (2) Searching and selecting relevant articles through Scopus and Google Scholar. (3) Analyzing and synthesizing literature. (4) Organizing the text. Results: The findings reveal the existence of 40 journals elucidating on physics learning media, encompassing both digital and conventional forms. Commonly utilized digital learning media include Adobe Flash, websites, e-modules, and interactive tools. Digital learning media is evaluated to enhance student learning outcomes and understanding. It enables students to perceive, hear, and interact with the material dynamically, thereby triggering a deeper understanding. The effectiveness of learning media has been substantiated to improve students’ comprehension of physics and also heighten their interest in the subject matter. Novelty: This research offers insights into designing interactive and modern learning media to enhance students’ understanding and learning outcomes in physics, contributing to the achievement of educational objectives.
